2:34pm: U.S. Nationals!
You guys are watching the U.S. National Championships now, aren't you?
Go, go, go!
Oh, what an intense, strong, jump-filled and totally professional proformance from this high school kid who just moved up from juniors this year, Mroz. Fun performance (with whoopsies) by the sexy playful Ryan Bradley.
And now, the ringer for John Sheppard, Evan Lysacek is about to perform.
Wooooo!
5:58pm: Instrumental music hunt.
Working on the music for John's competitors for the long program.
I've got most of the music, but I'm looking for a "bouncy" piece (can't have any lyrics) that's 4:30 minutes or longer. I need something with "pep." Could be classical, jazz, flamenco, or rock instrumental.
(I had to delete some practice music because it came out after 1999.)
Any ideas? Thoughts?
9:34pm: An open letter to my anonymous reviewer.
Whoever sent me this review -- I can't respond unless you give me your email.
I'll respond here, and hope that you'll see it. I don't know if you're on my f-list or not, so I'm not able to f-lock it the way I normally would. But I am glad you brought up the subject of Rodney's weight because I haven't had a chance to address this yet.

I will now return you to your regularly scheduled Out Of Bounds. For a more personal reply, in the future, please include your email address.
P.S. Nowhere in Out Of Bounds is it ever said Rodney is ugly. I don't know why anyone would consider "overweight" to equal "ugly," frankly. My mother is overweight and drop dead gorgeous. But it is telling that these two were automatically equated.
I sense a fic about Keller and her struggles with her body image from being a chubby pretten in here somewhere....
