Crappy idol 5 has begun

So a new season of idol performances are upon us. I must say I was origionally impressed with this group of 24. Now if for some reason tonight half of them just get shot and die on camera, I won't be disappointed :D

The girls
Mandisa - Heart, Never - Nice outfit, decent song, I didn't vote for her cuz I wasn't blown away sadly.
Kellie Pickler - Martina McBride, How far will the heart go - Her voice kinda annoys me. She must be a teenager cuz her voice sounds young. No vote.
Becky O'Donahue - "because the night", ? - I love her, I would have voted for her, but I didn't . Don't ask. I feel bad cuz she might be on her way out.
Ayla Brown - Christina Aguilera, Reflection - I like some things this girl does, but this was a carbon copy performance. No vote
Paris Bennett - Gladys Knight, Midnight Train To Georgia - YAY!! Finally someone made me pay attention to the tv! She wiped other past performances of this song off the map! Got my vote!
Stevie Scott - Josh Groban, To Where You Are - Ok, I love this girl, I think it's fabulous that she's classically trained, because it means she can handle anything they throw her way. This kinda makes her a shoe in for the 12 finalists. However WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE THINKING???? No vote, which was a bad move cuz I bet she's gone.
BRENNA - THIS GIRL IS PURE EVIL - Stevie Wonder, Sunshine of my life - I must say, I was halfway impressed with this performance, but I refused to vote for her. She was clearly not joking when she said "Lets go, let's make some good tv." DID YOU SEE HER ON THE BALCONY MAKING HORRIBLE FACES WHEN THE GIRLS SANG BADLY????? EVICT HER ASS IMMEDIATELY!!!
Heather Cox - Diana Ross, When you tell me that you love me - I hate this song, this girl is ugly, no matter how pretty she is. Not a good song. I think this is who Brenna was making faces at. it's probably sad that I noticed it. I was not interested in the song so I was looking around the set cuz it's kewl. I saw the faces on Brenna...die!
Melissa McGhee - Faith Hill, When the lights go down - someone else did this last season or something. This was a fantastic performance!!! I loved it and voted for it.
Lisa Tucker - Dreamgirls, I am Changing - I have been dying for someone to do this since about season 2. Sadly, this key was too low. I would have loved her to kill this song! She mainly drowned it with this rendition lol.
Kinnik Sky - Alita Adams, Get Here - Not a good rendition. Big Lips, ew.
Katherine McPhee - Barbra Streisand, Since I fell for you - AWESOME!!! I voted.
WHO I WANT GONE
Brenna, Heather, alternate, Kellie and just about anyone else I didn't vote for.

THE GUYS
Patrick Hall - Melissa Etheridge, Come To My Window - I keep thinking this guy is going to be Croation or something. He looks like the former figure skater Victor Petrenko or something. I wasn't happy this song was done. I still love season 2 and it was done so much better by Kim Caldwell.
David Ratford - Chris Issac, Crazy little thing called love - *shakes head* no comment, no vote
Bucky - Leonard Skynard, Simple Man - no no no, go away, no vote
Will Makar - Jackson 5, I want you back - Nikko did a decent versio of this, but i still prefer the 4 second snippet of JPL doing this is hollywood season 3. i wanted this guy, but no vote
Sway - Earth Wind and Fire, Reasons - I thought this dude was supposed to be gone? Whatever, semi impressed, but no vote.
Chris Daughtry - BON JOVI, DEAD OR ALIVE - I know several people who probably had a stroke when they heard this lol. Very good job. I voted for him.
Kevin Covias - Brian McKnight, One Last Cry - Ricky Smith did this best in season 2. Why do ppl keep trying? Go away. No vote
Giddeon - ? , Shout - Good job! I was excited. He's the male equivilant of Brenna though, yet I am not annoyed lol. Simon said his smile bothered him. Boooooo! I voted!
Elliot - Stevie Wonder, If You Really Love Me - Sweet! I loved it! My friend Tom loves this dude and I didn't at first, but I'm being won over. I voted!
Bobby - Barry Manilow, Copacabana - I couldnt' see the tv when he began singing, and I swore it was cookie monster lol. Then when I did watch, I thought of Louis Armstrong. It was horrific lol. Barry probably threw his piano out the window.
Ace Young - George Michael, Father Figure - Don't hate me, but if you asked me what makes him so special, I would have no answer. He's cute, yes, but grrrrrrrrrr. The song he picked was perfect for him lol. Go away dude.
Tayler Hicks - Elton John and Bernie? , Leave On - He stood still!!!! Wow! He sounded good, but I didn't know or care for the song. I only voted cuz maybe peo9ple won't vote and he'll get evicted.

WHO I WANT TO LEAVE
Most of them.

My wild night

Last night was interesting. Should I start with the head injury or the water? I guess I'll just begin at the beginning. Yesterday the RENT movie came to DVD and bff, Meg, and I were all gathering at her house. Meg's b/f was in town from boston and kt hasn't met him yet. the last time I met him, I was quiet and polite, this time he got to see me in action. we went to meg's, watched idol, then put on RENT. I discovered that Meg has a table in her basement similiar to the one in bff's basement that I always stand on. bff said I needed to stand on Meg's table to make everything right in the world. I had a full bottle of mt. dew in me and was working on my second one when I decided that I was going to dance on the table during La Vie Boheme :) Later on I decided to crawl under the table to watch the movie, and miscalculated and smashed my head on something sharp. Probably the corner. So I have a minor head injury. This caused a problem while driving kt home. I hit the curb on the street and she thought i would drive into the lightpost. See, I was temporarily distracted by the police car flashing it's lights up ahead pulling someone else over lol. If Dew ever makes an alcoholic beverage, I'm screwed :D

So I make it home safe and sound, full of head injury and dew, pull the car into the garage and suddenly I hear something as I'm walking out of the garage. Hmm, what is it? Sounds like it's raining...nope, it's not wet out. I swear I'm hearing the sound of rain pounding on the window...window...window...window! I GOT IT!!! *flashback to earlier in the day when I'm looking out the kitchen window and wondering why I can't see out of it as if it were the bathroom window* WATER IS BEING SPRAYED ONTO THE WINDOWS!!! I run up to the hose and it's is blasting. I freak out and due to the dew and the head injury, make a full lap around the house to shut off the water, when I could have easily run 3 feet to turn it off instead. It took 2 full turns on the side knob to get the water to shut off. However, the hose handle itself appears to be locked in the ON position and since it is wet and frozen, I can't do much about it. I survey the damage quickly while panicing that something will blow up. My backyard basically looks like the ice titan from Greek Mythology came and blew on it. I'll be semi amazed if we don't have to replace the Florida room doors and windows in the spring, and mom's roses will never bloom again. There is just ice all over it and lots of huge ice chunks in the lawn. Fearing an impending explosion or damage to the foundation of the house, or complete flooding on the basement and furnace room, I went inside quickly and jumped on Dude at 12:45am :) I felt bad cuz mom and dude were both sleeping so nice lol. Dude woke up and shut the water off in the basement. No damage down there.
So everyone go check your hoses and make sure they are empty and shut off.
Yay for head injuries!!!

RANCID!!!

EEEWWW CALI PUKED ALL OVER THE COMPUTER!!!! *gags and dies*
Jewel was fun today. Well, kinda lol. Things went well. There were at least 2 huddles today and I got to go to one of them. Kind of refreshing. I got a free power bar out of it which was nice because I didn't take anything to eat aside from my Aquafina. There is going to be a walking club, and there were power bars, and there were announcements, and Juan got a kewl raffle ticket thing for excellent customer service. I don't think Iwill ever get one of those. Just suck I guess. I kinda like the huddles.
Ew, I need to wash my hands, maybe I'll just shut up and do the dishes.

Jewel News

Welllll it seems Jewel has become even cookier lol. If you think you are driven nutz when you go through the checkout process, just wait, now, we have to attack you in the isles lol. Oh, and there will also be huddling and chanting :) I'm hoping we get drugs with this chanting, but don't think so. If we get a secret shopper now and we don't do something properly, they give us an automatic deduction rather than a zero. Sooooo, lookout shoppers!

tv stuff

yay olympics. after 2ish days of competeing, we are in 3rd place in the medal standings. norway has 8, russia has 7, and we have 6. they consist of 2 silver and 4 gold. so far we have no bronze. i'm not decided if that is good or not. it's good to get medals but bronze isn't that great i don't think. who knows.
INXS is on David Letterman tonight. Dave is snowed in, so Regis Philbin is hosting, which is funny because INXS is going to be on Regis and Kelly on Wednesday :) Me happy.
what else? me bored. not have a valentine. last year i had one and i was an ass and messed that up, but so did he a little bit.
last night i had a dream about megan and i going out to dinner, a movie, and a party. it was a brendan fraser movie and then we went to this new resturaunt that he opened that was similar to an old time saloon. i lost my shoes there and we went out in the rain and that is when i discovered i had no shoes :) rhichard gere was hosting the afterparty so maybe he was in the movie too. i didn't go to the party with meg, but i met some guy there that handed me a lot of money then told me to take it over to the copy machine to create counterfeit money. I told this to mr. gere, and then he threw us both out lol.
this is my 299th post!

Happy Olympics!!!

Hi!
Olympics start in just a few hours. I have half a billion things to do so that doesn't matter to me. Idol got rid of crazy dave from chicago :(
Yesterday was kinda interesting. I went with Meg in the morning to work out, then did crap for mom. Later bff called and asked if I wanted to do something, so we went around town doin stuff and then we decided to take up our hunt for the ever evasive peach mudslide. We found vanilla, but bff was't very interested. She made watermelon kool-aid for me instead lol. Meg joined us later for a game of trivial pursuit. Along the way I discovered that between the 3 of us, there is a definate lack of respect for one another. I do believe it is a 2 vs 1 fight though.
Mumbles & Grumbles,

Your fortune:
It's possible that there is a unknown guiding figure in your life, ready to help you.All you have to do is find this person and seek their advice.It's also possible that you need to start seeking the meaning of your own life.Either way, there's some deep thinking you need to undertake, and it needs to be done soon.
Who Should Paint You: Salvador Dali
You're a complex, intense creature who displays many layers.There's no way a traditional portrait could ever capture you!
You Are a Prophet Soul

Happy Feb!

Happy February. Sup? Nana's back at her house, I work with our new manager tomorrow, and I get a haircut. Just a trim, maybe another layer or so. Still aiming for blue streaks...will probably never happen. Nonetheless I'm happy.
INXS is not happy. Seems the new singer JD Fortune has bronchitis and they have had to cancel tonight, tomorrow, and the following night's shows. Poor baby. People have been saying he's been sick. I always got bronchitis every winter and I remember the meds are no fun for that. Idol has been boring, last night in general was a waste. Tonight I go to Meg's for idol. bff in school.
Really have nothing to say, just bored. Cat just hurled. Damn. Bye.
