Greatest American Dog

Is anybody else watching this show? Ack! It is so fun to watch. Of course, I get attached to the dogs and they get booted from the house. So sad. It's great to watch these people learning how to train their dogs. I don't agree with all of the methods used *looks at JD* but watching the connection between dog and human is special to me. I am loving this show... and I love that it's near impossible to pick a favorite because I love all dogs.

Add Bjork to my wish list

I really, really want to see some choreography on this show to Bjork. Still listening to Left of Center and my absolute favorite Bjork song came on.

Hyper-Ballad
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like, car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way to start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you


Which, of course brings to mind this:

Randoms

Okay. Okay. No, this is not a "random" post. I just got my Google Alert.

Mark's interviews make me love him more. If that's possible.

These are some quotes from here (not that I needed a Google Alert to see this one):
"I'm feeling really, really happy actually. I just feel like everything lined up for me to leave on an awesome, awesome note as far as who I got to work with this week," he told reporters during a Friday conference call.

"I'm really happy that I was able to stay true to myself this whole process. I'm proud of myself and -- in my own aspect -- I feel like I won."


"One of my biggest things entering the competition was that I really wanted to stay true to myself, and I hope that it encourages other people to be who they really, really are and not be afraid if they are a little different."

"I think it's kind of cool," he told reporters. "I think it's neat to end with the person you started with. It was very sentimental."

"Probably my worst dance on the show was the country two-step. I can't explain to you how hard that was," he said. "I think that we did the best we possibly could with what they gave us."


This livejournal popped up on my alerts. The categories won by Mark include:
Cutest couple with Chelsie ~ shared with Ivan & Allison
Best Personality ~ shared with Sara von Gillern
Most Musical
Most Unique
Most Creative
Partnership with the Best Chemistry with Chelsie
Best Couple that Never Happened with Katee

The honorable mentions are too many to name.
Explain to me, please, how he didn't win BEST HAIR.



From aol:

"I loved working with the last choreographer that I got to work with -- Sonya. She was amazing ... She just has this incredible voice and this incredible energy that when you're working with her, you really want to work hard. And I just felt like I understand her. I feel like we're from the same planet."

"The people that left the first, second or third week -- that's a tough thing. But I was really shocked when Will left because he's crazy amazing. Who else? Gosh, I feel like Kourtni had a lot to offer, too, like artistically and everything. I don't think she really got to show what she's capable of."

"Gosh, I'm just excited to see what happens. But I love dark stuff. I kind of want to see where everything takes me on a non-dance level, too. It would be awesome to get into [acting]. I love Tim Burton's work and Johnny Depp. I love how dark they can get ... and how artistic they are. I also love the work of Cirque du Soleil. I mean, I'm open to so many different things right now."
