I have no comment....

...other than American Idol voters suck! Sure they got it right when they voted off Alaina and Nick, but they left that horrible Sanjaya and the out-of-tune Antonella in. What the hell is wrong with people? Can't they hear??

I'm done. I have nothing left to say about that.

I am tired, so this is gonna be quick

American Idol......I have one word for you.......Melinda. She was amazing. She should win the whole competition.

Gina, Lakeisha, Jordin, Stephanie and Sabrina were also good. Leslie was ok.

Who sucked? Alaina, Antonella and Haley.

Who should go home? Alaina and Antonella.

Who the voters will pick to go home? Alaina and Haley.

Those are my predictions. And I am sticking to them.

I didn't even get to watch "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" cuz I fell asleep. But after watching it last night, I already know the answer to that one.

And it is a resounding "no."

That's all I have for tonight. I am beat. I am off to bed.

A better Idol than last week

The guys pulled themselves out of the gutter that was last week's American Idol. They were much better this week than last week...much better. After watching the guys last week, I was ready to just up and give up on AI this season.The first guy, Phil, did a good rendition of "Missing You," which was good, cuz had he sucked, I probably would have changed the channel. AJ, Chris S, Blake and Sundance were good. I think Sundance and Chris S had the best performances of the night. As Randy says, they "brought down the house." Chris S, despite looking a lot like Jack Osbourne, has a really good voice. And Sundance finally showed everyone why he was chosen in the first place.

There were some yawners and one downright horrible performance tonite though. Nick Pedro was just ok. Nothing special. Just ok. And Brandon, although I love his voice...."Time After Time" just wasn't working for him. It was ....yawn...boring. Jared was ok. Not bad...not great. And Chris R, who everyone was so gung-ho for (even Simon said he was good), I thought was not that great. Sure he picked a difficult song, but I thought he was off key and flat throughout the entire song. But Sunjaya....oh good lord. He was horrible. Just terrible. He needs to go home.

If I had to call it, Sunjaya and Nick should go. But since the girls probably think Nick is just like "so cute," he will probably stay and Brandon will go. But it was he who picked that boring song to sing.

After AI was over, I sat and watched "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" , and let me tell you something. I have never felt more stupid in my life than I did when I was watching that show. After not knowing the 1st question....what month do we celebrate Columbus Day in (I guessed November and it was October)...and not having the slightest clue who was the 1st president to be impeached (it was Andrew Johnson, and I thought it was Richard Nixon - LOL ...all the kids got the right answer, of course), I felt like a total idiot. But, I did get all of the other answers right, including the math one, which surprised me as I probably operate at a 1st grade level at math. And being as lousy at math as I am, answering a 3rd grade math question right was like winning an Olympic gold medal to me. After watching that show, I was left wondering just how I made it through school.

Craft Time

I made these two pictures for my best friend for her birthday. She just had a baby girl, so I thought they would look cute in the baby's room.






I bought 2 frames at Marshalls...they were pretty beaten up so they were on clearance... some frabric and ribbon at one of our local fabric stores, and used a glue gun and the fabric to fashion the "curtains", to give the illusion of a "window." Then I created two pictures (consisting of 4 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" pieces) on Photoshop, using some actions by Atomic Cupcake. The theme I used was "Little Bo Peep." I wanted a nursery rhyme for the pictures...one I thought I could create on Photoshop. The sheep were easy. So was the tree, hill, fence, sky, clouds....everything but Little Bo Peep herself - lol. She was a bit of a challenge. But I think, overall, it came out really cute.

And The Oscar Goes To.....

Well, the Oscars just finished up. No big surprises in the best actor or actress category (Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker won). But I was surprised....pleasantly surprised, that Alan Arkin won for best supporting actor for his role in Little Miss Sunshine. I love Alan Arkin. He was just spot-on as the cranky grandfather in Little Miss Sunshine. Kudos to him! I was hoping that Ryan Gosling or Peter O'Toole would have won for best actor, but oh well. Ryan Gosling was outstanding in Half Nelson, which was a great movie too by the way. One of the best I have seen this year. I was also hoping Little Miss Sunshine would have won for best picture. I haven't seen The Departed (I just bought it last week), but I knew it and Babel (which I also haven't seen but also own in my video library) were the heavy favorites, and I am always rooting for the underdog. I loved Little Miss Sunshine. It was hilarious, yet had its touching moments. And I absolutely loved the ending ... that dance has me laughing so hard I thought I would rupture something. I also loved how it made fun of beauty pageants for kids...did you see the way they were made up to look like adults??? Gross!!! Anyway, I was rooting for it to win. But it did win 2 awards...for best supporting actor and for best original screenplay.Woo hoo! I was also happy that Martin Scorcese won for best director. It is about time!! Of course, I love Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven is probably my 3rd favorite film of all time), but he already has some Oscars. Kudos to Scorcese. It is about friggin' time he won.

I was also surprised by The Oscars themselves. Ellen did a pretty good job of hosting....and I loved the song that Will Ferrell, Jack Black and John C O'Reilly did. Hilarious! And those shadow dancers. How the hell did they do that???

But I sure got sick and tired of seeing damned Al Bore...Gore. Maybe I am still just annoyed by his wife's past stance on censorship and all. He tried to be funny, but it just fell flat. I just can't look at him without thinking of him in that South Park episode. I wanted him to shout out, "Manbearpig is dead!" Now THAT would have been funny!

Speaking of South Park, new episodes begin in 2 weeks. Sweet!

And my friend Arlene has complained about how I still have hearts on my AIM icon and on my Myspace blog and all, but don't expect me to be changing my template just for you. It is still February....and whatevah...it is my blog, I can do what I want!
