Font Conference
Got this video from April…I admit that I’m a bit of a font whore - there was a time when I could look at a font and name it. I think that anyone who has an appreciation for fonts will like this - if fonts were people, and they had conferences, would would it be like? I enjoyed seeing one of my favorite fonts - Century Gothic, make an appearance. Wing Dings even comes in near the end…
Speaking of fonts - I’ve changed my layout - click on the sidebar to see the default or “peaceful” layout. Slowly, very slowly, I am revamping this site!

Poser!
This blog needs a dash of Ben…
He’s at the point now where he asks me to take pictures of him when he sees my camera and does poses. He’ll see the camera, say, “Picture!”, go several feet away, and smile. He’s even gone so far as to move his stuffed animals around and pose with them (I’ll post those later). See that third pic? that’s when he’s being the ultimate cheese - smiling really big with his hands framing his face.
Then, after he hears the shutter click, he runs to see the picture that’s been taken, then runs back for more.
What a cheeseball!

Who Votes for These Things?!?!?!
If you watch either “So You Think You Can Dance” or “America’s Best Dance Crew” and don’t know yesterday’s results, read no further!!!
I’ll leave a little space for you so you can avert your eyes.
SO WHAT IS UP WITH THE PEOPLE WHO WERE OUSTED YESTERDAY?!?!?!?
First of all, in SYTYCD, I was thinking it was Comfort’s time to go. I was flabbergasted last week (yeah, you heard it, I said FLABBERGASTED) when Kherington was booted. But I could see the logic behind it - she had started incredibly strong but hadn’t had many strong performances in the weeks before. I wasn’t happy, though…she was one of my favorites. I also loved Comfort (though it seems like Kat Deeley loves her more), but it was her time to go.
But THIS week, I cannot BELIEVE that Will and Twitch were in the bottom two! Will, by far, is the best technical and most gifted dancer they have. I think it was one of those cases where people don’t think they have to vote for them, and they vote for the person they are scared would be voted off, which in this case, was Mark. It was evident on his face that he believed that he was going to be in the bottom two, and I wanted to cry when Twitch found out he was in the bottom.
WILL!!!! WHY WILL!!??! He was an incredible sport about it, and really, he no longer needs to win the show to go far. It may even be a blessing that he’s not the winner because now he’s free to do whatever he wants. People will be knocking his door down with offers. But that doesn’t make the sting any less - he should have lasted longer. I guess the world isn’t ready for James Brown!
THEN…
In America’s Best Dance crew, a similar phenomenon was going on.
Yes, I know that Supreme Soul could be seen as a bunch of cocky bastards. And yes, I know that Super Cr3w doesn’t have a lot of choreography and they have a lot of tricks. But I sincerely thought that they would end up being the top two crews - that we would have a battle of the titans of dancing. The two best crews to me were Supreme Soul and Super Cr3w (having to type that 3 is really annoying). But noooooooooooooooooo….no one in America voted for them so yesterday they were in the bottom two. The judges were just as surprised as I was, so surprised that L’il Mama brought out her claws, stating, “When I see boogiebots on stage I don’t get excited.”
It was hard to see these guys on stage, who I’m sure believed that they were going to make it to the finale, standing there with tears in their eyes after performing waiting for the judge’s critique. Then when Supreme Soul was ousted, I actually felt bad for them (though I had predicted to Dave in the first episode of the season that they’d get ousted early because of their cockiness) as they tearfully watched their exit clip montage.
It should never have been these two guys in the bottom two.
Boogiebots needs to go!
…and yes, yes, I know. Rather than complaining about it, I should vote, but I hardly have time to shower, much less vote for these things. Maybe that’s what the problem is - all the people who would have been voting for these fantastic people are too busy!
Anyone else watch these? What did you think?
