Just watched 2 episodes, and part of a third, of MTV's series Made. The 3 eps that I caught all happened to have a common theme: overweight, overachieving teen discovers what it's like to bust ass for a goal that doesn't come as easily as they're used to. None of them, of course, becomes brilliant at his/her chosen pursuit (ballet, ballroom, figure skating), but they all seem to learn that getting out of one's comfort zone has positive results. And to that, I say HECK YES.

I heard a bit of interesting news yesterday, that SuperJim is interviewing for a job in Metropolis. Presumably he would move up there and no longer coach dancer1957 and me. If that happens, I'll miss him, but in the long run we might be better off working exclusively with Francesca. She has competition experience, which SuperJim doesn't, and she dances American style like we do (SJ dances International style).

Thursday evening at Pauline's class I got a copy of the video from our most recent exhibition performance, on New Year's Eve. Here be linkage if you want to check it out. We are the third couple to perform; our part starts at 5:33.

Time to stop faffing around and take a shower.
