Got that one wrong!

Well so much for my skills as a So You Think You Can Dance prognosticator!

Susie and Marquis got the boot. I can understand Susie receiving the axe. She didn't seem to fit in on a show where ballroom, hip hop and contemporary predominate. She had also lost her fire in the past week.

Marquise was robbed, at least on the basis of his solo. His solo tonight suggested a combination of last year's final 2 men, Neil and Danny. He's not as talented as they are, but Marquis gave the best solo tonight. However, he was weak on partnering, though his match up with the older and more jaded looking Susie was a horrible mismatch. Perhaps he might have fared better with one of the more wholesome looking gilrs?

UM sent me an email. The decision makers are all on vacation until June 30. They'll decide then. Yay, passive procrastination, my favorite!

I'm reading 'I Should Have Stayed Home" a bleak 1938 novella by Horace McCoy. It's the story of a young man lured to Hollywood for a screentest. He bombs and is blown off by the studio official who lured him away from his Georgia hometown. Now the young man works as an extra and sleeps on the couch in an apartment just off Vine belonging to a shady young girl who's an extra by day, and I suspect, a hooker by night. Like McCoy's masterpiece, They Shoot Horses, Don't They, this is a very bleak slice of LA Noir.
