I just read a story that an astronaut, currently orbiting IN SPACE, is going to run the Boston Marathon while ORBITING THE EARTH FROM A ROCKETSHIP.
And I can't seem to find the energy to get to the gym after work. Insert sad face here.

Pretentious A-Hole
'Idol's' Sligh: I wanted to quit earlier
I saw this headline on CNN, immediately rolled my eyes and opened it up to read. I didn't like Chris from moment one past Hollywood week, when Simon criticized him and he shot some kind of weak comeback in his direction. You pretentious a-hole. I will never understand these kids who come into these competitions and say that they "wanted to lose" or "just wanted to see how far I could get." I hate it because the judges send home somewhere around 99,975 people who would slit your throat for your spot. Some who can actually sing, some who really can't...but all who would be GRATEFUL for making it as far you did, and who could probably hold their breath when they sing.
Let me tell Chris something via my small blog that he'll never read. "I'm bringing chubby back" is not that original. You are not that funny and not that unique.
If you love music so much, wouldn't your dream be to have it on your job and not just get on some American Idol tour, that as soon as its over, will send you right back to Butt F***, NC? Idiot.
For all those who care/dont have much to do today: http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/03/30/americanidol.sligh.ap/index.html
PS- I promise to start blogging about something other than AI soon. Even I'm bored with myself.

You Know How Disillusioned I Am?
I didn't even watch Idol this week. Not the performances or the judging. (I did save though so I can see Gwen and Akon's performances.)
Yes that's right I got my updates through my cousin (holla! Thanks PM) and Ew.com (thank you Michael Slezak). I even did my pool w/o so much as bothering to look for myself.
I think my point, to myself, was well proven when Sanjaya didn't even make the bottom three. I vacillate on whether he's going to make it to the top 5 or even 2 or not, and I try to decide if that would be hilarious or not.
The only reason I think it would NOT be hilarious is because then the show would be in trouble. Given that Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry are all best sellers/Grammy Artists, clearly the competition can't go on if people are not going to vote for the absolute best.
The only way around it that I think would work is a judge's veto. I saw this on Grease You're the One That I Want, when it happened to be on during my cleaning the other day and I was too lazy to turn it off. The audience votes and the least favorites get put in a bottom four, but then the judges can "save" someone from elimination if they think they've been put there unfairly. That way, someone they think doesn't deserve to be there can get eliminated. Perhaps this could work for Idol as well. Just a thought.
But that does nothing to help this season and my only concern is how Sanjaya will style his hair next. And will Lakisha ever prove she's more than just a really good singer (aka show some originality), if Melinda will ever excite me. I am rooting for Blake I decided.
Sigh.

I Suck
I know. I suck. Work is crazy. I have a new boyfriend. I was enlightened to the Nintendo Wii and specifically Wii tennis. I have about 45 side projects and activities going on at all times...something has had to give and its been my blog.
However, I have about 22 posts that just need to be edited and finished including:
- My double celeb spotting at the Odeon in Tribeca
- My date with death ...and Chipotle
- My St. Patrick's Day rodeo ride
- A new mouse beat down (hint: I win.)
- Pia's going away
- My growing unrest with American Idol
- My impending head explosion about the return of the Sopranos
- and much more
But I can't write right now. Please don't unbookmark me, the online equivalent of the kiss of death. I'll be back soon, I promise!

Stephanie Edwards Goes Home
To be honest, I’m not very sad. Good singer, no star quality.
What INFURIATES me is Chris Richardson being in the bottom two. NO WAY AMERICA! COME ON!!!! I MEAN COME ON!!!! He was awesome on Tuesday night.
He wasn’t like Haley who took none of Lulu’s advice and sang the song all long and drawn out.
He wasn’t like Chris Sligh who couldn’t keep his breath.
And God knows he wasn’t Sanjaya, with his fingerless gloves and faux-rockerness. Dear God. I mean I appreciated him coming out of his Michael Jackson Junior shell, but he’s still creepy and bizarre. I hope he wins.
As for that bizarro pig-tailed girl, I think GC said it best:
“Man...that girl is doomed to a life of loving too-pretty boys and/or gay men.”

I'll be Here Come June
It's official. In just a few short months, June 20 to be exact, me and two friends will be headed off for our party vacation to Greece! Greece has been a dream of mine since 6th grade and after touring Athens for a few days we are going to island hop the isles of Mykonos, Ios and Santorini.
It's kind of hard to wrap my head around since it's hailing here today, and it's three months away, but the flight has been paid for and my a$$ needs to start hitting the gym hardcore to have one iota of a chance of looking decent next to European glamazons.

A Semi-Injustice on Idol
I'm not entirely sure how Sanjaya skated away with not being voted off yet again, but I at least this time, the person who did go home sucked too. Both Brandon and Sanjaya did the vocal equivalent of getting on their knees and blowing a song on Tuesday, and if it was possible to have both of them leave, that would have been the ideal situation. Whatever. We all know Sanjaya will suck again next week, and I'll wait with baited breath to see if whatever national coalition is rigging his vote tally comes through to save him yet again. What might be ultra-hilarious, is if Sanjaya somehow makes it into the final two or something...although not ideal, given the mediocrity of the season, that might just give us something to enjoy.

AI: The Top 12
I'm sorry I've been absent. Life has been busy. I've gotten your angry text messages and phone calls, and trust that I've been following and am angry myself.
With that said, let the anger continue.
Brandon: First of all, I hated the way he sang this. I know I can sing this song better, I've heard myself in the shower do it and if I don't say so myself, I'm awesome. Ugh. And did he forget the words at the end? Good god. Go back to behind Xtina. You suck.
Melinda: Though I don't think she has star quality, at least we know we can count on Melinda right now to a.) deliver her song, b.) remember her words and c.) bring her A-game. And now that I've watched her tonight I actually really liked her. I like her cause she wants to win and she gets out there every week and sings. Plus, I own those shoes in red and I know how hard it is to stand in them. Props to her. Melinda kicked ass.
Chris: Hmm he lost the glasses, I'm kind of digging it. But I hope he has contacts in or he might trip and fall. I know I would if I didn't have mine in. With that said, Melinda is a tough act to follow. And he's singing Endless Love, which is maybe the cheesiest song ever. But he's "making it his own" and for that I can give him props. Ummmm, this was alright. It wasn't the worst ever, just not the best ever.
Gina:Hmm she's about halfway through and I'm kind of bored. WHERE ARE THE STARS AMERICAN IDOL? ARE THEY SITTING AT HOME ON THEIR COUCHES BECAUSE YOU SENT THEM HOME AND THEN AMERICA F*ED UP COMPLETELY? Jeez, I don't know. This wasn't bad, just not great.
Sanjaya: OH. JESUS. CHRIST. Did he hot curl his hair? Curling iron? WTF? And this song? From SISTER ACT II, one of my favorite movies ever???? I can't believe we have to watch him and not AJ. I'd even rather watch corny-ass Jared. The backup singers must be dying inside to know this kid gets center stage. He should sacrifice his spot. He didn't even sing. Dear God. Dear God. Dear God. No. No. No. Someone put this poor kid out of his misery.
Haley: Yawn. Yawnnity-yawn-yawn. She forgot the words too. This is the only reason I don't fast forward, lest I miss that kind of stuff. Cause my finger was on the button. This is almost as bad as Sanjaya.
Phil: I really want Phil to do good because I like him and I think he can sing. He looks a little awkward up there ...but at least he sounds alright. The good thing about Phil is that he can turn an okay song good because he can hit the big notes which I guess, in this competition means you are like, the best. I don't know, it's about so much more than singing though. It's like the X factor. Poor Phil doesn't have it. But he can sing good. That's good enough for me right now.
Lakisha: Thank God for Lakisha. That's all I need to say about her.
Blake: This could be interesting. Vamos a ver. This sounds like it could be super awesome from his segment with Diana. Come on Blake. Please. Well his outfit kicks ass, that's good. And at least he is unique and trying. Unlike, ahem, well everyone but like two people. I think he could have done it slightly faster and sang it more and it would have been a bit better. For this one, I'll actually listen to the judges and not fast forward to the next person. *after judges* I could totally be a correspondant on this show.
Stephanie:I like Stephanie too, because she's in it to win it. I like her little attitude. I don't think she's a star either, but at least the girl comes out and sings. I missed her missing the words...oh well. The show is almost over and I can be put out of my misery.
Chris:He is so damn cute, thank goodness. His voice isn't the best but at least he's fun to watch. If he went on tour with JT one day, my head my explode. Anyways, I think Simon will rip this apart because his vocals are thin...and he hides it with the runs...but at least he is entertaining. And he's trying. Hooray Chris.
Jordin:Another one who we can hopefully count on to sing the s*** out the song. She reminds me of Callie from Grey's Anatomy. Anyone? Anyone? I feel like Jordin would be great on Broadway. I'm not sure she's a pop star. And Sara Ramirez (Callie on Grey's Anatomy) won a Tony on Broadway for Spamalot. Coincidence anyone? Coincidence?? Anywho, this was fine. A solid good.
My only thought at the conclusion of this show is that it's just too bad multiple people can't be sent home and we could start the season over or bring back those unfairly ousted. I'm sad. But if Sanjaya doesn't go home tomorrow I will throw my TV out of the window.
With that said, let the anger continue.

AI: Boys Week 3
I'll be honest, I don't even know if this will be worth my time, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
Here goes nothing....
Oh, but PS, I'm just watching the performances and only listening to Simon. I'm fast forwarding past everything else. I want to watch other quality TV tonight...like Heroes.
Blake: Um Jimmy Walker Blue? What the F*** was that? I might give props to doing a 311 song if 311 was doing it. Where's the singing? Oh my god. Just shoot me now. He sang like half the words wrong and I know b/c I sang that song for like a year straight. Randy liked that? I'm confused. Please Simon bring a dose of reality into this. Oh my god not even you Simon? I'm scared. I'm cold. Confused. I just violated my own rule about not watching the judges.
Sanjaya: Christ did he straighten his hair? And the hula? I would laugh at his wierdness if my heart wasn't breaking at watching my favorite show die a slow and painful death. I would give him props for being better than last week but my hatred is too far gone.
Sundance: I still want to like him but this isn't star quality people. I feel like this is awful karaoke...oh wait cause it is. I think I had a knife nearby earlier. I'm going to go find it so I can slit my wrists.
Chris: My favorite so far in the competition. Please do good. Please. THANK GOD. THANK GOD FOR JT-LOOKING CHRIS! I LOVE HIM. I'm going to listen just to make sure the judges say what they should. Randy, check. Paula, check. Simon...ummm good enough check.
Jared: Ok this kid should stop with the faces a-sap. It's kind of annoying me...almost. And he's just doing a pretty good job with the Stevie song, which is not easy And so many have failed. Ok that was pretty good. Finally, someone steps up to the plate. Finally. And wow, Paula made sense for once and didn't just hurrah someone....wow. Good.
Brandon: Will Brandon bring it tonight? He's got such a good voice he's not using. Doesn't sound like he chose the right song...again. I think this is an odd choice for him and I'm not sure why he wouldn't have chosen a power ballad or something that would tearjerk people into voting for him. I think Brandon is going to find himself back doing background vocals very soon. That was really wierd.
Phil:First off, I'm so glad the stylists on this show are talented and give him a hat b/c he looks funny w/o one. I don't like the key he is starting out in. I think he sounds like a very old Kermit with a sore throat. Now that he's in the chorus it sounds better, and the falsetto is nice. I like that Phil comes out and sings. This was alright. Better than some of the others.
Chris:I'm not sure why I don't like Chris anymore. Maybe because my disillusionment with this show is transferring to everyone on it. Where is that knife from before? I'm kind of bored and my wrist looks way too intact. I feel like I could see this in Second on Second (my fave karaoke place) on any Saturday night. And I'm serious. This is no star. Ugh.
Um alright well I'm totally underwhelmed and I think Sanjaya better be gone, and maybe Brandon. I hope Phil's past performances carries him through.
Ok, I'm watching Heroes now.

AI: Week 2
So to be honest, I sat here for like two hours, watching the girls week two, feeling pretty bored the whole time. Taking notes for my blog but feeling listless. I didn't think anyone really killed it and I was tired. I didn't watch it last night because I was having the best night ever and didn't have time.
So then I just watched the results show and I give up. I truly just wasted two hours of my life tonight, because it doesn't even matter, America voted AJ home and Sanjaya gets to stay. I just am so disgusted it's ridiculous. I mean I love this show, but the thought of having to watch Sanjaya again, when he really shouldn't be there in the first place, makes me sick. Cause AJ is so good. Whatever. I'm so disgusted right now.
So disgusted in fact that I can't even write about my amazing night last night and just to give you an idea it involved me, my hot date, ninjas and the two biggest celebrity sightings I've ever had. I'm going to bed. I'm depressed. I can't even watch Heroes from Monday.
