we're coming to you slightly delayed and in black and white

The agony that was beach volleyball is over for the year, thank goodness, and as parting gifts I have two new cuts that are going to take forever to heal. I hate that beach, so, so much. Also, sort of hate my teammates, considering that only two of them (of six we needed, of eight on the team) were there by 15 minutes after the game was to have started. We probably would have played better if the dude and I had just played two on six.

On the other hand, there was a random Captain America plastic figure hanging out on our court when we got there.

I am no longer quite so excited about this season on SYTYCD Canada. I can't say that I'm surprised that two of my favorite dancers from auditions and the awesome ballroom mom were in the bottom three couples, but I am nonetheless disappointed.

I must say, I do appreciate the rate at which they churned through the results.

Also, it is creepy how much that one guy looks like the main werewolf guy from Twilight (Taylor something? Jacob?)
