american fucking idol

what the hell. i'm reading reports that AI has agreed to extend their contract with Fox for 4-6 more seasons. if you have been reading my blog enough, you know i am a reality tv freak, but this is seriously too much. we are rapidly approaching season 5 and I thought that should be their last. What more can possibly be done? You have Kelly, Carrie, and Fantasia! You have Clay, Bo, and ,if you must, Ruben. What else can you possibly do?

INXS had it all brilliantly done. If Idol doesnt' follow suit, there's no point. I'll probably watch it though. Simon Cowell will be there. Why not.
Speaking of INXS, happy Switch day! The album is out! I'll probably go to Target to get it. I'm reading all kinds of incredible things. Tim Ferris and JD were via Satellite somewhere, but they were on a Fox station and Pres. Bush was getting on or off an airplane so they had to show 2 hours of that, so the INXS interview was short. When the reporter apologized to them about the Pres. being in town, Tim said "My condolences" I LOVE INXS!!!

Lighthouse Mall

Hey
Bff and I went to lighthouse mall in Michigan City over the weekend. It was loverly. Best quote in the whole fucking world -


M~ BUUURRRRP!!!! "Empty!"
Bff~ Wow, do I need to refill you?"

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

OMFG!!!!

"What a day this has been,
What a rare mood I'm in,
Why it's almost like being in love!"

It's been a day of complete stress that has, for the moment, ended in sheer bliss. It will probably end in complete freakin' stress and tears and a complete screaming match!!! Today I had a group presentation for spanish class and of course that meant getting all my materials a few hours before lol. I got up early, ha! I was ready to go quickly too, ha ha!! The previous 2 statements are both complete lies, ha ha ha :D I don't even care anymore about the stupid disaster and all the stress because when I got home, my cd from eBay had arrived!!!! It's Lara Fabian's 2nd english album and it only came out for a few weeks last year. I had to order it from Canada and sent them an international money order, yet then mailed me the cd from Tonawanda, NY where Tommy lives. WTF!!!
Hopefully the rest of the evening will go something like this, dinner, get rid of nana, do dishes all night long, go to bed, maybe lol. Tomorrow I work at Jewel 3-7 on the new system and try to not fuck anything up. I'm srue I will though. I get killed over everything.
Dude say dinner in 5 minutes. Good thing the song I"m listening to is only 3:11 :D

Craig Ferguson and Clay Aiken for president!!!!

Hello everyone!!! Last night I was watching tv but it was boring so I shut it off and attempted to sleep. Well sleep wasn't my friend so I turned the tv back on because it was time for Craig Ferguson to start. I had missed a few minutes of his opening remarks, but he definately caught my ear with his little bit about running for President if he could. It was awesome. He said he would need someone to get him a lot of votes to be his running mate - CLAY AIKEN :) :) :) :) :) :) I think I woke the whole house up screaming lol. I was so busy being excited I forgot to listen to the joke he made, but it was most likely something perverted because the audience kinda oooed and aaahhhed over it like "ooo no you didn't" and his remark was "well, I will need a good sex scandal" or something to that effect :) He said they would run on a 3 point platform. 1 - Send Paris Hilton back to the Paris Hilton she came from! 2 - Put 50 Cent on the dollar bill to confuse the hell out of international tourists! 3 - Make it possible that a law could be passed so that (I can't remember what he really said) everyone could get married to whomever they want and the governer of California could marry the governer of New Jersey. :D

"Ah, a wize guy, huh?"

So work today went well. Not much to report. The extreme value buy is toothpaste, and I think the customers are really sick of this and retaliating with humor. Here's a few of the quotes from the past 2 days.

Customer - "I don't use toothpaste."

Different customer - I just bought some toothpaste.
Me - Well it's on sale at this price for the rest of the month so if you need more later, it will still be on sale.
Customer - I have 3 teeth, toothpaste lasts a long time.

AND THE HUMOR AWARD GOES TO ...
"My wife just left me and took the preferred card."
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I almost asked if he was planning on fighting for custody :P

Melissa

Oh boy

I really have nothing to say. Too distracted by music to blog. We are having a few terrible thunderstorms passing through the Chicago area. I put on headphones and blasted disney music from the millennium celebration. Epcott: Tapestry of Dreams Very loud and drowns out the thunder and lightning, though I felt it through the floor.
Today at work I had a decent day. Learned something new again. Yesterday I spent an hour at Dyer jewel learning the new system that is being installed in munster and highland and crown ponit. We were there for an hour, and spent 50 minutes going through the lecture and then got thrown on live customers for 10 minutes, holy fucking shit.
Today while working I saw a girl I went to school with. Last time I really had a coversation with her it went something similar to "...and nobody was talking to you anyway." she said that to me. Now I am friendly with her mother cuz she shops in my line, and we have always known each other. Her mother sent her over to me and she was really friendly, overly fucking friendly. I wanted to knock her upside the head.
Better to go to bed now.
Mumbles & Grumbles,

Apparently, my sociology instructor thinks I need a psychologist. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Had more to say, but time presses on.
