sleepy

It's 10:10 pm on Friday night. Going to bed. Yeah that's right you heard me. This is the earliest I've been to bed all week and it's Friday. Oh yeah, it's been that kind of week. Good night.

*yawn*

chikeeeezee

Just got home from my third night in a row of after-work socializing, and I am trying frantically to keep up with tv - I have very quickly FF'ed my way through this week's AI results show, and the bottom three consists of Chikezie, Jason Castro and Syesha. I am SHOCKED Syesha is in the bottom crowd and even more shocked when Jason Castro gets sent back to safety - I'm so over him! And so we're down to Chikezie and Syesha and it's a bye-bye to Chikezie. Which I kinda feel bad about, since he's actually been doing decent, but am also glad about because Syesha had a most wonderful performance this week and deserved to stay! And then there were nine...

top ten

It's the top ten on American Idol and I'm still hanging in there, even though it's been a tough season so far. This week each singer has to sing a song from the year they were born. Mind you this means like, 1987. Oh man I am old.

Ramiele is so very adorable and lovely, so I am so very sad that she didn't sound very good - but she is a bit under the weather, so I think she gets a pass and will hopefully make it through to next week.

Jason Castro continues to bore me.

Syesha has a most fabulous performance in her breakout week and I actually really like her now!

Chikezie just doesn't do it for me.

Brooke White is still fabulous, even without her crazy curls, because she is lovely with her piano.

Michael Johns was born in 1978 - that's my year! And born just 22 days after me. And is as adorable as ever, heehee. And totally rocks it out with Queen! Ohmygosh, I totally have such a crush on him! (Me and every 16 year old girl in the country I'm sure.)

Carly Smithson is lovely. And her husband has lots of tattoos on his face. Weird.

David Archuleta is really, really overrated. I don't quite understand why America is so fascinated with him. Maybe it is because he was born in 1990 and I'm just mad at how old that makes me. He looks about TWELVE, for cryin' out loud.

Kristy Lee Cook finally has a decent week but I'm already so mad at her from her last few really awful weeks that I fear this was too little too late.

David Cook is a rockstar!

So who's going home? Whew, this is tough one this week. If I had to pick, it would be bye bye to Jason Castro.

staged reality

Season premiere of The Hills tonight! Woohoo! One of my favoritest fake reality shows - more soap opera than reality, but still fabulous! We finally get to find out what happens with Lauren in Paris, and Spencer's attempts to win Heidi back!

dance!

I recently have discovered a most awesome show on MTV called America's Best Dance Crew. Hosted by Mario Lopez, teams of dancers perform hip hop routines of various sorts. The episode I happened to catch was made up of four teams left, each turning a Broadway musical number into a hip hop routine. Nice! Oh how I wish I started watching this show earlier.

down to a dozen

This week starts the Top 12 on American Idol and I am smitten! It's John Lennon week which is GREAT because that means a myriad of Beatles songs and such for contestants to sing, and I love that. Normally this is where I start to do a contestant-by contestant recap week to week, but I'm too tired for that this week, sorry!

So the judges HATED Ramiele's performance this week and yeah it was a tad on the boring side, but she sang In My Life, one of my favoritest songs ever, and I love her! She's so adorable. Oh, and I love how she talked about how she works in a sushi restaurant so she smells like sushi all the time. heehee.

Generally speaking, most of the contestants stepped it up big time for the top 12 performances. Yay!

improv everywhere

There is an "organization" out there Improv Everywhere - does anyone else know about this? This is the group that orchestrates the annual No Pants fiasco.

Here's a sample of some of their other work.



Isn't that wild? I'm totally fascinated!!

til death do you part... or til Big Brother changes his mind

Big Brother is AMAZING! I KNEW the couples would get split up! And I'm so glad they go split up! And I'm SO glad Allison is the first person to get booted as a single! I hated her dearly. and she got evicted TWICE! Love it.

i'm back!

Hi, I'm here! Sorry for the lag in blog activity, I was in Aruba! It was a lovely trip, there was lots of sun and drinks and food and flamingos and iguanas! Seriously. I'm catching up on tv now, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, enjoy this lovely photo of an Aruba sunset!
