Okay, so on the season finales of So You Think You Can Dance we've seen the Australian SYTYCD champion and the UK SYTYCD champion. Where my Canadians at? We have two exceptional champions who are much closer to fly in. It reminds of me our first Canadian Idol who was asked to perform on the American Christmas Special and was then cut out in the American broadcast. His bit was only shown in Canada. Is it too much to ask to get a little love from our Southern neighbours?

So, I am rectifying this, immediately. Here are Nico (Season 1 Champion) and Tara-Jean (Season 2 champion):

Tara-Jean [w/ her partner Vincent, Contemporary, Stacey Tookey choregraphy] (dancing starts around 1:00)

Today was my birthday party! My actual birthday was last Tuesday, but I still wasn't feeling very hot, so we decided to postpone it until today in hopes of giving me more of a chance to recover. We think we've figured out the cause of the headaches (a new medication I was on that had side effects no one bothered to tell me about) and I've stopped taking it and it seems to have helped. But now I'm exhausted.

Anyway, today was party day. Adam and Amalie came over and there was spaghetti and pumpkin cheescake (seperately, not a spaghetti and pumpkin cheesecake). They were both delicious. I got phat loots - a gorgeous, huge jewelry box, lots of books I wanted, thingimies for my embroidery floss and a blinged out new journal with blinged out pens. Adam and Ama gave me Merlin Series 1 and Avatar on DVD. Plus bubbles and the most inadvertently hilarious card I have ever seen.

I hadn't seen Avatar yet (my eyes don't do 3d and no one would go with me to the 2D). We watched that tonight. Thoughts under the cut.

PBS is doing its summer drive, so Mum and I caught Masterpiece Classic tonight after Adam and Ama left, which was David Copperfield with wee Daniel Radcliffe in it. Part one is excellent and I'm looking forward to part two next week.

Great day, great gifts and great food. Hope that bodes well for my 24th year.

Comment and I'll pick one (unless you want more) of your fandoms, post the answers to your journal and so on and so forth.

First time I didn't have to correct any html code before posting. Booyah!

We put up the tree tonight. Adam and Ama came over and there was meatloaf and friend potatoes and yummy dessert. Ama and I painted a new house for our village (which we've done every year for the past few years), but we didn't get entirely done with it. It was much fun.

In other news, my fandom_stocking is here. Please, post a link to yours if you have one as there are a lot posted and it's hard to sift through to find the ones of those you know.

I just literally spent two and half hours combing/brushing/coercing a knot out of my hair. Two and a half hours. Literally. And there is a still a large portion of it left untangled because I cannot reach it. This is a warning to all those people out there who say 'Oh, you're so lucky, I want curly hair.' NO YOU DON'T. You do not want curly hair.

Friends don't let friends want curly hair.

I am typing this from my parents' computer because mine will not turn on. At all. And, it being nearly 11:00pm, we can't call my brother the computer guru to come fix it. I'm not too worried about file loss, since a quick Google suggests it's rarely a hard drive problem. Unless it got fried during the power outage we had this afternoon. cleolinda has just gone through a huge fiasco under similar circumstances, so I am a bit worried about my poor computer. It's mostly just annoying. I will not be able to get the WOW Brewfest achievement, since I won't have enough tokens. Plus, I have to post an icon challenge tomorrow and all my coding is on the computer I can't access.

This is not a pleasant way to start the week.

Fingers crossed, people!
