This week’s Dancing with the Stars was infinitely better than any I’ve seen before, and I was wracking my brain trying to figure out why, when it dawned on me: the perpetual assault on my eardrums had ceased. This week was Classical Week, apparently the first one ever, and the 46-piece orchestra was in fine form, accompanied by soprano Catherine Jenkins and super hot rock violinist David Garrett. It was certainly nice to hear some high-end music for a change, rather than bad covers of worse songs, and never mind that Hines and Chelsea were both disturbed and confused by the prospect of listening to songs without words. Excuse me while I weep for humanity.

The stars danced the Waltz, the Viennese Waltz, and the Paso Doble, Bruno shrieked approval, and Len hated on some details, yet seemed strangely open to being entertained. Carrie Ann barely contains her lust for the smooth expanse of Chris Jericho’s bared Viking chest, and Kirstie half loses her shoe during the waltz, because last week’s faceplant wasn’t enough awkwardness for one season. Plus, we get to witness Sugar Ray grace us with the best ballroom face in history. Recap is in the works, so keep an eye out for it later this week, and stay tuned as well for words from TheNooch.

BlueCanary is as unorthodox a blend of optimistic and bitter, laid-back and anxious, motivated and straight up lazy tas one is likely to meet outside an unspecified institution. She spent the past decade holding a variety of job titles, including reporter, tech writer, production manager, and administrative assistant (the go-to job in this economy for folks who just HAD to get that English degree). She is currently living under the tiny yet powerful thumb of an awesome, pint-sized little dude, who wets himself and can't form full sentences (read: stay at home mom). Another tyrannical little thumb is gestating in her womb. She is a regular on The Neutral Corner podcast and blogs at www.mamamuzzle.com. 

Blue's as-yet-unpublished YA novel, The Nature of Echoes, is currently a Quarterfinalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest.

    I know next to nothing about classical music, but I do know that the duet used for Kirstie’s waltz, The Flower Duet by Delibes, is my favorite piece, ever. It was lovely to hear Catherine Jenkins sing it, even if it was on Dancing with the Stars.

    I could have just shut my eyes and listened to the episode all night. The Romeo and Juliet theme and the Hall of the Mountain King were my favorites, but really there wasn’t a bad piece played all night. I don’t quite get where the Harry Potter theme fit in with the rest, but it still was better than that Chelsea song from last week!

    Every time Kirstie kept saying, “WHOSE shoes come off, WHOSE?!” I kept saying to my TV “YOURS do, girl! YOURS!” LOL, I felt bad for her but I was glad she laughed it off.

    Can’t wait for the full recap!
