the_dala at 07:54pm on 21/02/2007For now on, I need to rememer that the answer to the question "Who in their right mind does laundry on a Wednesday night?" is always "Everybody." ::grumbles::
Eeeeee, "Say Anything" is on Encore! "I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen." Second only to: ::holds boombox up::
It was beautiful out today -- 51 degrees when I left the house. And I forgot to mention that, on our "field trip" to the Trinity graveyard and Historic on Tuesday, a bald eagle flew right over us by the gazebo. I don't think I'd ever seen onewil, at least not that close. I'm not much of a birdwatcher, but I do know what a bald eagle looks like. Pretty.
Am I the only one who's totally looking forward to "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader?" For those of you who haven't seen the Fox promos, it's basically a trivia game show in which adults compete with, well, fifth graders, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. And I giggle every single time I think about it.
Good god. The women on "American Idol" this season are truly outstanding. I guess we're getting another female winner whether we like it or not, because the men almost uniformly blow. Although, what's with all the Aretha (THREE!) and Celine and freakin' "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" on the first night? Chill, people. You can pull the big guns out later. Right now the judges and the audience want to see that you're young and fun (and in your box). Sidenote: why do the judges hate "I Can't Make You Love Me"? That's a fucking awesome song, and also, how is a Bonnie Raitt song the opposite of bluesy, even that one?
On no. I think I've a cold coming on -- I can feel it in my sinuses ::chugs orange juice:: I have way too much to do to get sick. I think I might skip Landscape tomorrow, sleep in and finish my JKC scholarship application. Honestly, who gives out a three hundred word essay? That's not an essay, that's a paragraph. And yeah, okay, I only need maybe 300 words to talk about my motivations or whatever, but you ask me about art and only give me 300 words? Not fair, dudes.
Seriously, these women are rocking the house. Let's just vote all the guys off one by one and then let the awesome ladies duke it out. Well, we can keep the cute barefoot Asian guy and Chris Sligh, but that's it.
I'm pretty sure that's the nicest thing Simon has ever said to anybody ever. Paraphrase: "You know, we see a lot of people who come in here with a huge amount of ego and not a lot of talent, and you are the complete opposite. You have a great story, you are an amazing singer and a great person, and I really hope you do well."
People can make fun of me for loving AI all they want, but once it gets going, this is damned good television. Especially if you like big, brassy, fabulous female voices, which I do.
Okay, so this Alaina person is a bit of a dud. Too breathy, no wind. You cannot breathe "Brass In Pocket," okay? You gotta sell that shit.
Ooooh, I forgot how much I loved Lakeisha and her awesome clothes. I am...not quite sure why she picked "And I Am Telling You," but she's kind of workin' it out. And man, her dress is gorgeous. I do love her, I do! I don't think she should've done JHud's Oscar song, but she's a terrific singer.
Don't fuck this season up for me, America. I might actually be motivated to vote, I'm so looking forward to it.

I have to kind of agree with Simon that the barefoot dude needs to just put on some shoes. :P It was cute for the audition or whatever, but this is supposed to be a seriously competition. (Not that any of them can seriously sing)
As for the girls, it has even aired yet over here on the west coast! :) Should be on in about an hour but I wasn't planning on watching it...Though based on your rave review, maybe I should...
