when I was in college, we had this thing where we'd dance like Peanuts

OH HAI, Neil Patrick Harris. Enjoying your break after that Rent at the Hollywood Bowl bizzareity? (shut up, that is totally a word.)

My thoughts on the SYTYCD finale can be summed up thusly:

( in no particular order, despite the fact that I have numbered them )

Capital-A-w-k-w-a-r-d

Four things, about as disjointed as usual:

I spent most of the first half of last night's Project Runway thinking about how I am such a sucker for their editing tricks and narrative structure. There were brief side trips into how completely uninterested I am in Casanova.

Okay, so. I witnessed a moment between two people yesterday, two people who I recognize on sight, but who do not know me. At least one of the two is dating someone else, so far as I know, but it's none of my business either way, except that I have been programmed by the media to believe that other people's personal lives are my business.

Had this been two random, unknown people on the street, it would have been beautiful, and made me happy, but because of the bits of information that I think I know, it's driving me crazy with both curiosity and awkwardness, because if it wasn't a Moment, what was it? Is there something wrong? Also, there is one very small part of me that sort of hopes that they are together or are on their way there, and I knew about it ahead of the curve. Ugh, my brain. Stop being a total creeper.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about American Apparel's marketing, except for the fact that it's skeevy, but I do appreciate when other people express the thought:

"I can appreciate campy hot. This was intended to be hot in an American Apparel,"I'm hip but broken, please call the authorities for me" way" - @maryfaber, related in some way to Ke$ha's dancers.

I'm very much in the midst of feeling like I have read all the stories. I know this is not the case, but my recent wanderings in original fiction are making me less inclined to, for instance, go read the 30th story where Brad and Nate negotiate separations and deployments and DADT and their inability to discuss their feelings. It's certainly not making me want to write one. If you've read anything recently (and have it to hand) that's really different either in terms of setting or plot or style, rec me things? I am not picky about fandom/pairing/genre/gender, even if it's something that I have to google to tell the characters apart.
