MUSIC: "Apologize" by One Republic

I heard this song on SYTYCD and was immediately drawn to it. I searched YouTube for its music video and didn't care so much for it, so instead, here's some cover art with a good audio:

[note: the other video was deleted so I've replaced it with one with the song's music video *shrug* I'll take what's available.]

And here's a pic of the band:

CATABLOG: Cats, GH, SYTYCD

Yesterday after work, I stopped by Running Zone to pick up more brochures (woo!) and the owners, Don & Denise, liked my new hair. And I picked up three more running gels (raspberry hammer). It was a nice visit to the store.

I didn't stay for their weekly fun run because I had made dinner and Guitar Hero plans with Chuck. It was also nice to see the cats again; StinkyPants stayed close as we played while Nala just lounged the entire time.

We watched the first couple episodes of Fruit Basket, a Japanese anime, while we ate, then watched Sara and Dominic get eliminated from SYTYCD. I also introduced Chuck to Bubble Trouble.

Anyways, here they are:

Here's the video of Jessi & Pasha performing the Rumba during tonight's results show. Pasha was safe but sadly Jessi was eliminated. Now Pasha will be paired with Sara... I really hope that this isn't too much of an odd-couple -- a ballroom dancer and a breaker.

I've always liked Sabra -- because her happiness reminds me of a good friend from college... and because she has awesome hair -- but I really didn't care for Dominic... at first. During auditions, I felt that he was a one-note dancer so full of himself, but after watching the two of them landing in the bottom 3 for their impressive disco (week 1) and seeing how well he worked with Sabra tonight, I think they're my second-favorite couple (behind Jessi & Pasha, of course). They really did another absolutely fabulous performance tonight.

Sabra, let that hair free!

On tonight's So You Think You Can Dance, Pasha's partner Jessi had to get emergency attention for a heart problem; dancing in her place was the choreographer's assistant, Melanie. I really hope that Jessi is alright by tomorrow and can still "dance for her life". The silver lining is that there's more Pasha (though Jessi wasn't exactly hard on the eyes either).

Get well soon, Jessi!

Pasha's so adorable.

This is my favorite couple of the season so far. Pasha's adorable... like an innocent Russian Topher Grace. And I didn't know that Jessi's from Rockledge!
