Janick and Denys: paso doble. Well, that was pretty goddamn awesome. Denys was obviously in his wheelhouse, but he’s growing as a performer by leaps and bounds. Janick was very good. This was great and there is nothing else to say, really. Danielle and Jeff: contemporary. Danielle and Jeff danced the routine excellently, and I […]

BEST MOMENT! Either when he suggests that a 15-year-old gay boy killed himself because “he was unable to endure the guilt that the others of words prompted in him” and passive-aggressively asserts that it was the kid’s fault OR when he explains why he is a giant pussy who doesn’t allow comments on his Youtube […]

I’ll probably end up going with a Motorola Milestone (the international equivalent of the Droid) through Telus. I am just posting this so everybody can have a chance to tell me I am getting the wrong smartphone, or alternatively to self-importantly explain how they don’t have a cellphone and only communicate through smoke signals. Smoke […]

I’m almost getting sick of writing about Rob Ford and his demented, dishonest mayoral campaign, but what the hell, really. Even non-Torontonians should see that Youtube. It’s amazingly bad. Watch it, and then realize that Ford is the frontrunner in an election for one of the largest governments in Canada.

One of the things writers don’t talk about much is the loss of your babies. Not actual babies, mind you. That would be terrible.1 No, what I’m talking about is the experience of coming up with a really great idea, filing it away in your Idea Box to be used later, and then watching, haplessly, […]

1.) ME: Team Dating Couple #47 On The Left can’t find the flags for the airline. FLAPJACKS: Well, at least they’re getting it out of the way early this season. ME: What? FLAPJACKS: The “one team decides that THIS moment is the time when the producers finally decide to not mark something Race-related with a […]

And I have gone from barely noticing the existence of the series to watching it religiously (it became a tradition over the course of my long-distance, long-term relationship to watch it while on the phone with each other. You may now awwww or ewwwww, according to preference.) The new season started tonight. So what did […]

Hi, I’m Karen, your substitute SYTYCD blogger. You may remember me from one previous occasion when I did this in 2008. I don’t know what I was smoking back then, because I described Leah Miller as “quippy” and Jae Blaze’s choreography in the legendary Lisa and Vincent Raggedy Ann and Andy hip-hop number as “kind […]

FLAPJACKS: So how’s the new job? ME: Fine. FLAPJACKS: Just “fine”? ME: It’s a good job. FLAPJACKS: Are you defending the innocent with legal stuff? ME: Sorta. FLAPJACKS: Oh. Are you working for The Man? ME: Not really. FLAPJACKS: So you’re in that grey indeterminate haze of legal morality? ME: Basically? FLAPJACKS: Well, I guess […]

So Toronto’s mayoral candidates had their seven billionth debate last night and, as always, I was watching.

The Event debuted last night, and did respectable numbers, but like just most sci-fi/mystery/whatever TV shows since… well, Lost, it was a terrible bit of television. Every season it seems there’s one or two “we’re the next Lost” shows in some network’s can; every season most of them fail. FlashForward is the most recent, but […]
