Anybody else watch last night's America's Best Dance Crew?

First off, WTF is AfroBorike doing in the top two? They're really quite bad--just a lot of hot and sexy moves along with tons of flailing around

It's on the tivo, i'll watch it tonight. Also AfroBorike's dancing seems kind of misogynistic. They're always mock hitting the girls, overly sexualized or almost physically abusive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I sat next to Russell from Big Brother on the plane back from Vegas today.

Ugh. I saw the recap of AfroBorike and was reminded of why I don't like them. On top of everything else, they threw some shit on the dance floor in their first number. The second one was damn near insulting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really need more details about this!

But did you make out with him, Perkins?

(Note: I know nothing about Russell from Big Brother.)

I did not!

I really didn't talk to him much, beyond the typical getting settled into the seats stuff. I am pretty sure he knew I recognized him, but he seemed wary of being recognized, and I didn't think saying "hey, I know you. You're a douche" and "so how embarrassing is it that you lost to Natalie and Jordan", would help much, so we both just pretended I didn't.

He's not a tall person, and he didn't think that the rule about turning off electronic devices like his iphone applied to him, even after the flight attendant asked him twice.

Honestly, being able to text "OMG, I am sitting next to Russell from bb on the plane" to Jesse/you was the most fun part.

Good times. And I was excited to discover you can forward texts, because I totally sent it to my coworker.
