Yes, it is once again that time of year. At about 6PM GMT today, I get
to go do my loose uncoordinated thing on the dance floor at Blackpool.
[No, *not* the prestigious Tower Ballroom; the much less well-known
Empress Ballroom in the Winter Gardens.]
Last year we managed 6th place; I wonder if we can equal that this year?
(Considering I've just spent an entire week with a cold, and I'm still
not over it now...)
PS. Right now my partner is already in Blackpool, and freaking out like
a giant spaz. She always panics on comp day...

What? No TV coverage?
I'll be thinking of you. Get out there and blow their minds.

It's not a big enough deal for that. ;-)

Well, we made the final round. But then we came last in that round. Just
like last year. Fewer contestants this year though, so we got 4th place.
Nicole seems a little bit upset. The announcer made a point of
reiterating the rules about what moves you are and aren't allowed to
have. We followed those rules, and nobody else did. Yet we came bottom.
So all the people who broke the rules got a higher score for it.
At least, that's the way it plays out in Nicole's mind. It could just be
that, I don't know, everybody else danced better? (All 3 of them...)
I just like having a new trophy to show. And besides, at least we didn't
come *last*...

Pictures, or it didn't happen :-)
Congratulations - first position next year?

The same time next year? I might take my camera and come to witness the
happening. I'd have two reasons to visit Blackpool then, that could be
enough to order plane tickets.

I will point out that if you want to see me dance, you'll need to buy a
ticket to get in the door. I believe they're about £25 or so.

Not sure why it's so purple (ALL the photos from this person are really
purple), but playing with the colour balance I got this:

Anyone have any theories on how the crease in my shirt manages to
continue THROUGH MY ARM? o_O

It might be because... it IS NO CREASE? o_O
If you look closely, you'll notice that it is some anomaly in the floor,
which has crept up your shoes, pants, shirt, arm, shirt again, and then
jumped to the background, to mess with the papers the white-haired guy
is holding.
Somebody better call Torchwood.
