Because books.
We had about a million Johns of various spellings. A lot of guys named Chris, too.
I actually love the name Michael for a guy. Not fond of Mike, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
actually love the name Michael for a guy.
Me, too. Probably because my nephew, who is the sweetest boy ever*, is Michael.
-Michael (at the time, age 8) has 2 older siblings (ages 9 and 10) who were making fun of another kid and Michael told them to stop because it was mean. They said no, that he couldn't tell them what to do. Michael, with complete sincerity, responded with, "But it makes Jesus cry when you talk about people like that." Shamed them into silence, he did.

Oh, good god, ChiKat. What a sweetheart!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I have a meatspace buddy Kevin, but he can be kind of an asshole sometimes too. (Sorry Kevin, if you're lurking, I know you love the Jossverse!) But he is. Not always, but enough to not break the problematic name.
I dated a couple of Davids and married the last one. I sometimes think that guys' names in general are less likely to be unusual.
Anyway, reality. I saw the end of the elimination show for SYTYCD this week, but nothing else. So I'll have to go back and watch the dances. I'm okay with Channing going, I think.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm a little sad that Channing went home, I think she did better this week than previous weeks. Eta: in her partner dance. IDK about her solo.
The thing Victor did to his toes at the end of his solo? Ouch! That's the main thing I really noticed.
Loved the opening group number and boy, Bollywood looks so exhausting.

The camera work is really shitty. I cannot believe how wrong they did Carol Hannah's final look. You couldn't see ANY detail on that final gown. It's bullshit.
