Conversation on pop culture.

5:26 PM me: hey Tori. I was waching So you think you can dance, last night and wondered what you thought about the quality of the dancers? I'd love to hear it. Tell me when you get time.
5:27 PM Tori: lol
i have never seen the show
no tv
5:28 PM but i am sure they are great. but an entire different integrity and aesthetic than that which i strive to achieve
5:29 PM i am like things that are performed more "real" and that stuff is "showy"
i like
showy is fun if you want to drift away with gene kelley
5:30 PM real is more human, and less esoteric and surreal and fanatical
depends on what your flavor is
5:31 PM what they are judging is showmanship. and the level of tricks
5:32 PM like a horse
lol
5:35 PM me: word. I don't know about it, so I'm mystified.
Tori: and you are who they are playing for
me: yeah. must be. wish I knew more about dance and was a more educated viewer.
5:36 PM Tori: its like art- if you like it, you like it
you can analyze technique all day
but its essentially about what you like

me: if it was American's next top Contemporary Painter, I'm sure I would be pissed."

Tori: lol
i have to say i have no interest in watching it
me: maybe one day, I'll get a show for my art form. I think you are lucky.
Tori: its not dance to me
5:37 PM in the sense that dance is a lifestyle a way of being much different then the training i received
much different then the opinions of what most people hold of the form
but sure- its great its gets some attention
5:38 PM ballroom. i dig
me: yeah. gets attention for dance. it can't be a bad thing.

me: they have a ballroom dancer guy named Dimitri.
