Today, I sat around Ala Moana for three and a half hours and successfully avoided riding the bus during rush hour because of it, although you wouldn't have known it looking at the people packed like sardines inside. But it was also a shorter ride because H-1 was not stop-and-go by the time the bus got on. Which is what I was trying to get out of.
When I got home, my mom already had Dancing with the Stars started and paused, waiting for me. So, we watched Monday and Tuesday's shows. The individual dances, while not bad, didn't really stand out to me (with the possible exception of the Cinderella song, for obvious reasons). No, what I loved this week were the group dances. I hate the song "Call Me Maybe" but the dance they did to go with it was downright breathtaking. Very impressive, original, fit the song very well, and made me almost enjoy the song. In fact, I might, if the song were not currently lodged in my brain. But the dance was probably my favorite since Donald Driver's country free-style last year. "Gangnam Style" had the potential to blow that out of the water, if it had been a bit more polished. It was a fun dance, but the obvious mistakes were distracting and the routine wasn't as good as it could have been. I think it probably worked to their favor that they were on a different night. Don't get me wrong, my mom and I enjoyed the heck out of "Gangam Style" but the first team dance performed was executed much more cleanly.
And then, since my mom's cat had settled on my lap, I started New Girl. It wasn't a bad episode at all, but they showed all the funniest parts in the commercials my mom and I kept seeing when we were at Chili's Sunday watching the game. Funny, worth watching, but the best jokes had already been laughed at and dismissed Sunday. Maybe our expectations were too high, but I don't think that was the best episode this season...
Now the only thing I'm behind on is Once Upon A Time...I think...
