Here is how I feel about the new format of So You Think You Can Dance. Although I love seeing the all stars again, I really do, I actually find their presence confusing and distracting. I watch them but I can’t help feeling I should be focusing on the people who are actually competing. It’s hard to explain. I can’t just relax and enjoy the dance.

I also can’t immediately tell who is who and I waste time trying to pick out the contestant from the all star, once again preventing me from just relaxing and enjoying the dance. It’s weird, but there it is. It’s a psychological thing.

I’ll see how it works tonight when there’s one all star and one contestant dancing at a time. Maybe it will work better. But from last week, I LOVED Pasha dancing with the two girls, and Travis’s routine.

And here is one of my most lovable fur blobs. You can still see where his fur was shaved off on his belly, even though it’s been months and it’s mostly grown back.

The grandson of one of the scientists I wrote about in Unbelievable has written a book called Perception! It is available here or here. From the description:

“Hugh Lambert is a man of many problems: problems with professors, problems with his punk rock housemates and, most of all, problems with women. A parapsychology student in the Reagan era, Hugh has no job prospects and only one friend—Abby Stoltz, a profane and ever-indignant artist. But then, late one night, Hugh accepts a Tarot reading from a beautiful stranger, and everything begins to change.”

I love the title and the cover!!

I was walking back home and I couldn’t resist taking more pictures of the statues from Event Horizon. There are tons! Where have I been?? Here is one on the Flat Iron building.

And there are two in this shot. Can you spot them? Yeah, it’s easy I know. I think these statues are beautiful up there. I don’t think “jumper.” It makes me think of the angels in Wings of Desire.

I mean “ew!” I still fully intend to talk about So You Think You Can Dance. But I’m trying to get some work done today.

There’s a new talking cat video from klaatu42, and I wanted to post a link to one of them just in case there was anyone who wasn’t aware of them. Here’s a favorite. But once you see that one, browse his others. There are so many great ones, although I can’t watch the one of the beaver on the highway.

I took this picture of an art installation everyone was talking about a while back. It’s called Event Horizon and it’s by an artist named Antony Gormley. Someone had recently jumped off a building, I think nearby, so people freaked at first. I love it. Apparently there are 31 of them around the Flatiron District. I took this picture from Madison Square Park.
