Something beautiful for tonight

[cornerofmadness]

Have This beautiful young man dancing to Hozier's Take Me To Church. I love dancing and dancers. I've dated them. I find the way they move to be awe-inspiring. My goal in pod. med. school was to be a dance doctor but was shut down at every corner (25 years ago you pretty much had to have two nuts and a twig to be a 'sports' doctor). I've been wanting to do an 'injured dancer' story for about as long.

I needed the pretty after some of the crap (we seriously need to find better faculty. We have a new guy that I told the students to report. He's all kinds of inappropriate. not sexually but still) at work. Glad my dance mom friend from H.S. put him up. Ballet is my favorite and I HATE living so far away from Columbus that I don't get to go see any.

Hook me up with your favorite dancers if you have any.

ANd the ugly today is the realization that 50 Shades of Shit is sold out. Rape culture wins again. Mom said that some local teacher is in trouble there for giving it to her class...of TWELVE year olds.

I think I've forgotten all my jewelry making skills. Big tears.

I'm thinking of going here Sol, Cuban restaurant tomorrow. It's going to be one of the coldest nights we've had so perfect for wandering Athens.

Arrow was much better than the last two weeks but they're making it so there's not a woman on the show I like. Is it wrong to be rooting Laurel dies?

oy. he's beautiful. love the tattoos, setting and dance+music combo

here's that song's actual video


and, dance-wise, I've been into this guy lately

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Isn't he though?

Oh yeah, I can not watch Hozier's real video with the gay bashing murder (he did it as a protest of how gays are treated in Russia)

I've been watching this guy too

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

That was really hard to watch

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I watched it through once and after that I either put on a lyric video of just listen to it and watch something else. Since I'm involved in the community via my writing I hear too many real stories like this on a weekly basis.

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

here is a more polished video of that same dance guy

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks for that. he's kinda silly in this and playful. Love it.

I have NO desire to return ot the 1930s but there really is something about a man in a suit and hat.

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Agreed

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing that dancer. I already liked the song and that was perfect choreography and the perfect location for that song.

I love watching good dance. It's why I have a subscription to the Boston Ballet. (Stumbled into a cheap subscription $25 now $30 per ballet for 5 ballets.) I go with one of my friends and her 17 year old daughter.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I agree.

Oh that's good. I'm glad you have that. For me it's a 100 mile drive to Columbus or a 80 some mile one ot Huntington or Charleston where I assume they might have it but I'm not even sure. It's simply too far to go and then come back late night (I'm getting a touch old for that crap...or too lazy. One of them)

That video is gorgeous.

Apparently he was a principal dancer for the London Royal Ballet at age 19 - youngest ever to be made principal. He's incredibly talented.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Isn't it beautiful?

Yes I saw that and that he quit (something about it being too restrictive)

ANd the ugly today is the realization that 50 Shades of Shit is sold out. Rape culture wins again. Mom said that some local teacher is in trouble there for giving it to her class...of TWELVE year olds.

Twelve year olds? Seriously?? The book was silly, and while I think its good that it got people talking – and probably spicing things up in plenty of bedrooms – it does, IMO, give completely the wrong impression of S&M.

I think I've forgotten all my jewelry making skills. Big tears.

If you don’t use it, you lose it. Kinda what I’m worried about with my writing…. What were you trying to make, anyway?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah well it turned out it was 50 shades of gray puzzles which isn't much better. I don't know about across the pond but here we're see huge spikes in injuries secondary to trying out the BDSM stuff with 50's shit knowledge base.

Yeah I hear you. I made it. i was trying to wire something up. It looks terrifying from that side but okay from the other side. I'll take a picture eventually

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

I haven’t heard of injuries over here, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear of some.

I’d love to see your pictures. I’ve been wiring things recently and its harder than it looks! But I’ve had some interesting results, so I intend to keep experimenting with it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah most of it is handcuff related.

Sadly not THAT kind of wiring. I've seen beautiful work (I just meant wiring something together). That is beyond my abilities with the nerve damaged hand. far too painful.

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

It must be terribly restrictive for you. Have you tried using one of those tools on a stand that hold your work steady? Though I should imagine its still tricky…

Oh, and I meant to respond to your comment on Arrow – Lauren has been getting really annoying in the last couple of seasons. I think we’re a bit behind the US, so maybe I’m not up to speed yet. I do like Felicity, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I do that but it's the manipulation of the fingers that hurts.

I usually like Felicity but lately she's being nasty (granted she has some rights to but she's being so high handed and dismissive and it's not like her to not listen)

Yeah I've never actually liked Lauren but she's particularly bad this season

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I haven't been to an actual dance concert in ages. Or an actual play. Sigh.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

me either. Okay plays but all community theatre except the tickets to Newsies I got this holiday
