Sug, Ranger, and Will are gonna hate me for this...



This is a clip from Wednesday night's So You Think You Can Dance. I'm not posting it to make fun of it or anything of the sort for once. This is Lacey and Neil performing a contemporary routine from Mia Michaels. Mia, incidentally, was nominated for an Emmy for last year's routine "The Park Bench," which I thought couldn't possibly be topped. Then came this routine, "Time," which is about Mia reuniting with her father in heaven, and I find myself entirely floored. I want to dip Mia Michaels in gold and put her on my mantel. I'd like to tie her up and force her to dance pretty-like for me every night. Or maybe I'll just continue my daily youtubing excursions for Mia Michaels routines and then stare dreamily at my monitor and wonder how she and I could become friends. My confession: I cried watching this on Wednesday, and again when I found it this morning. It's beautiful, and I'm posting it. Deal.
