The curse of Stankaya continues

I have just one thing to say about American Idol..... crappity crap crap. Stankaya is still in the game. He wasn't even in the bottom 3. I give up.

You know who they booted off? Chris Sligh. Yeah. Not Haley or Stankaya. Chris. Who are these people who are voting. I want their names and addresses so I can personally go to their house and kick their asses.

I really wish Ryan Wussycrest would stop saying, "America, you voted ..." because that implies that all Americans have bad taste in music.

At least there is a new episode of South Park is on tonite so that it can take the bitter taste of American Idol out of my mouth.

Oh yeah. I can see again now. I had to go to the opthamologist today for my semiannual plaquenil screen. Woo hoo. Big fun. Got to have my eyes numbed and dilated. I look so forward to that every 6 months. I don't know why they have to render you nearly blind so that they can check your eyes for disease. I couldn't even read anything for hours after the exam. I took a nap to sleep it out because I couldn't see to do anything else. I get to have the same fun again in September.

I just can't wait for that.

I resemble that comment!

You Are 57% Angry

Generally, you are not an angry person. But you're easily frustrated and enraged. You have one heck of a temper. And because of your anger, you tend to feel resentful and even spiteful. You already know how to quell your anger. You just need to do it more often.

How Angry Are You?

You Are Samuel Adams

You're fairly easy to please when it comes to beer - as long as it's not too cheap. You tend to change favorite beers frequently, and you're the type most likely to take a "beers of the world" tour. When you get drunk, you're fearless. You lose all your inhibitions. You're just as likely to party with a group of strangers as you are to wake up in a very foreign place.

What's Your Beer Personality?

American Idol Night

Tonite's AI went down pretty much as it usually does. Melinda was awesome. Sanjaya sucked.

Normally, Sanjaya's singing alone would have made me nauseous. But tonight both his singing and his hair made me wanna puke. His hair alone should get him booted off the show. Someone should have told him that a faux-hawk does not work on a whiny Michael Jackson wannabe. It does work, however, to make him look ridiculous.

At least there were no crying kids in the audience this time.

Please kick him off the show so we won't have to be exposed to further vulgar displays of hair-creativity. Someone stop him! Please. For the love of all that is holy and good.......just stop him.!

Actually, Phil did a good job too. And so did Jordin and Blake. I still don't like Haley. If San-can't sing-jaya doesn't get kicked off this week (and the way things have been going, I doubt he will), Haley will.

But I am still hoping that enough people will vote for other people instead of Stankaya so they can kick his ass off for good.

And on a completely unrelated note, what the f*ck is up with that Always commercial telling us to have a "happy period?" There is NO such thing. Are you telling me that just by putting on one of their pads that it will take away all of the cramping and bloating and moodiness of that most joyful time of the month? Talk about false advertising.

And on another completely unrelated note, I am currently experiencing nosegasms brought on by my recent delivery of a huge ginger peach candle from Pier One (I caved in and paid $18 for the damned thing on Pier One's website but oh what a great purchase it was). They only had the big ones. I still want some votives and tealights (if they have them) and 3x4 candles too, but those are out of stock online (damned people stop buying all of my candles!!!) I love the way my apartment smells (but it would smell better if I had more candles - hehehehe). Pier One's Ginger Peach is the best smell in the world!

And here is a pretty pansy

Ok Arlene - are you happy now??

And here are some lovely violas

Just For Arlene

I finally got Blogger to post pictures again. And Arlene has been hounding me to show her flower pics, so here is a pic of one of my new flower plants....the lovely Gerbera Daisy - my favorite flower on the planet :)

Not necessarily the news

It has taken me this long to blog about the last round of AI eliminations that happened on Wednesday night. Yeah that damned San-can't sing-jaya is still in there, and they eliminated Stephanie, who actually CAN sing. It just goes to show you that if you put one kid in the audience that will cry when you sing, then you will be safe.

I still maintain that that kid was crying because Sanjaya's singing gave her an instant earache.

I took a drive up to the Carrizo Plain National Monument on Friday, hoping to see another awesome display of wildflowers. But I was disappointed to see very few yet. There were a few patches of goldfields and a few poppies here and there, but it was mostly dry and not very green yet. Guess we need some more rain before the flowers come out. I didn't see any antelope either, but I did see one smallish gopher snake sunning itself on the dirt road. It was maybe 2 feet long. Maybe next time I go up there I will see a few rattlesnakes like I have in the past.

We had a staff meeting on Thursday and the supervisors basically told us that they don't think our 9/80 schedule will be approved this year, so that means no more flex Fridays. Which is freakin' ridiculous because this schedule has been working successfully for the last few years. Why the freakin' board of assholes...I mean supervisors....wants to change it is beyond me. I can tell you that there will be a lot of unhappy employees.....including me...if it happens.
