my gayest entry yet!

http://www.wowowow.com/post/lesley-stahl-rachel-maddow-MSNBC-Fox-News-184110?page=0%2C0

go to the link above to finally read a really great interview with my mad crush, rachel maddow. she is so insightful, smart, funny, sarcastic and gay as gay can be. she's so gay, she claims to sometimes forget she's gay. it's true we don't go around all day long thinking we're gay. are you heteros continually conscious of your straightness?

speaking of gay - the beginning of the final season of nip/tuck is really starting to annoy me. first, FIRST, liz sleeps with christian? what? only to tell him she doesn't like men, she likes christian. then she has the gay nerve to sleep with him AGAIN! oh dear. to put the icing on the lesbian cake - so to speak - the character of olivia, played by portia de hottie de rossi, was killed off by going into cardiac arrest on the plastic surgery operating table. now i know this show is so over the top and all but are we to believe that portia de rossi degeneres is having plastic surgery? plus, if i was portia degeneres i would go slap ryan murphy for his pathetic lesbian storyline. it was offensive and if mrs. de rossi degeneres knew it would be edited that way i think she would have thought twice about taking that gay role. plus, i was promised some girl on girl action and there was one scene of the women laying in bed chatting. of course. the next scene is
of christian's bare ass giving it to twins. nice. oh, have i mentioned that ryan murphy is a gay man? that makes it worse.
whoa! sorry about that. it was all so annoying. so annoying, in fact, i don't think i'm going to finish this series up. take that ryan murphy!

louisville!

well, here we are in louisville. let's hope it's better than san francisco. there's always simon and cara.
...
do they all really need their own limos? uh, don't they know we're in a petrol crisis?

mariah carey songs should not be allowed. ever. i hate when mariah sings them. i can't understand why parents let their children embarrass themselves on national television. "they are looking for nerds and freaks." -tiffany

cara knows this chick, joanna. she was signed to a record label. 'we belong.' she's good. i bet she makes the top 12.

mark? serious backwoods kentucky. he's almost died 5 times! eek! he's the worst. don't mess with mudd ... he's scary. "be careful." paula didn't like it so much.

brent, at the very least has a great name! he's ok. i don't like that type of singing. paula and cara went down together. huh-huh. under the table. cara's smokin' hot dress with the hole to reveal cleavage? american idol has gotten way better this year.

toothbrush company employee? oooohhhh, 'somewhere over the rainbow'

matt has a very justin timberlake quality about him.

ross, i'm not sure you can learn to sing through chinese characters or mathematical equations. i can't wait to hear this...yep. just what i thought it might sound like. paula's face was priceless. he drank out of paula's straw. i guess we now know it's not vodka in there. was he a plant? thoughts.

another singing stay at home mom. they are hidden all over the burbs. whoa...i never would have thought that voice would have come out of that.

yikes, aaron, that took paula right out of her chair. hilarious! he's so cute, however. he's going to bring joy to some job somewhere.

rebecca, open your eyes, check your arm and see that the judges are giggling. yet another mother with kid muffs over their ears.

for tonight's sob story ... poverty. yeah, it sucks, i agree. but i have to say leneshe is lovely and sweet. let's hear it though. her own song - not bad. ok. i bought this sob story. i love her. she may make the top too.

19 to hollywood. god, let the hollywood round start soon. next week, jacksonville florida.

simonisms...
  • tiffany? what song was that?
  • that's not a gun, is it?
  • for me it was a bit buster-ish
  • is it me or is this show getting weirder this year
  • that was so boring
  • say goodbye
  • i think you should do something in your life that involves shouting
  • stop. quit singing.

holla back!

"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace."
-President Barack Obama

[*deep sigh*]

ah-HA!

i figured out how to post on my blog if you don't have a gmail account! it's all fixed. you no longer have to have a gmail account to post!
post away!

my theme song

you know i love music
and every time i hear something hot
it makes me wanna move
it makes me wanna have fun
but it's something about this joint right here
this joint right here it makes me wanna woo!
let it go
can't let this thing called love get away from you
feel free right now go do what you wanna do
can't let nbody take it away from you from me from we
no time for MOPING around are you kidding?
and no time for negative vibes 'cause i'm winning
it's been a long week i put in my hardest
gonna live my life feels so good to get it right
so i like what i see when i'm looking at me
when i'm walking past the mirror
DON'T STRESS through the night at a time in my life
ain't worried about if you feel it
got my head on straight i got my vibe right
I AIN'T GONNA LET YOU KILL IT
see i wouldn't change my life my life's just fine
feels so good
when you're doing all the things that you wanna do
get the best out of life treat yourself to something new
keep your head up high in yourself believe in you believe in me
having a really good time i'm not complaining and i'ma still wear a SMILE if it's RAINING
i gotta enjoy myself regardless
i appreciate life i'm so glad that it's mine
so i like what i see when i'm looking at me
when i'm walking past the mirror
ain't worried about you and what you're gonna do
i'm a lady so i must stay classy
gotta keep it hot keep it together if i want to get better
see i wouldn't change my life my life's just fine
FEELS SO GOOD
WHEN YOU'RE DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU WANNA DO
GET THE BEST OUT OF LIFE TREAT YOURSELF TO SOMETHING NEW
IT'S A REALLY GOOD THING TO SAY THAT I WOULDN'T CHANGE MY LIFE ...MY LIFE'S JUST FINE FINE FINE FINE

a.i.s.f.

this was the worst of the auditions. only 12 through. they only showed a couple of the good singers, and even they weren't that great. this entry blows. i blame it on a.i.

...

this [longest pause ever] is american idol!

paula gone wild with the bedazzler!

tatiana, girl from puerto rico a plant? thoughts.
"if i have to outsing everyone, one by one, on the planet to get a record deal i will ... and i have."
of course paula likes her - she's crazy. like paula.

"the coat"

what about jesus? the kids helped. i think if he just sang instead of all those vocal gymnastics, we'd get somewhere.
cara, you're a sucker, but my crush lives on!

stick to the rubik's cube, dawg.

cara: give her your passion.
randy: she wants your baby.
[paula's face: priceless]

[fringe is still on?]

where are all the good singers? sf sucks! it's halfway through and it's been all sucky people. this has been the worst episode yet. plus, simon isn't quite as cheeky as usual.

people are just a little bit crazy aren't they? this woman, akilah from the o-town hood, is just not playing with a full deck. is she on drugs?
"i wanna sing the same song over i sang it in the wrong rectum."
wow. paula had to leave the room.
"they made me sound like one of those auditioners who couldn't sing."

uh-oh. please don't let tonight's splicer be "bohemian rhapsody." please. i don't think i could take it.

just a 1 minute montage of 3 people going to hollywood? come on, simon fuller.

adam might be cute enough to make it past the hollywood round.

they saved the sob story for last tonight. i can't decide if a mother's illness trumps that guy who's wife died. let's see how good he is. not bad. he's gonna have to step it up for the hollywood round.

no splicer tonight.

only 12 go through to hollywood. sf you suck.

tomorrow night, louisville.

simonisms...
  • tatiana: i have a gift for you. simon: yes!
  • are these quite naughty?
  • she didn't get through on her vocals
  • it was really really boring and i hate what you're wearing.
  • the song is horrible, not you.
  • ...too many parts of the body we don't want to know about.
  • annie i'm gonna be honest with you. it was like you were drunk...i'm not talking 1 or 2 bottles. i'm talking a crate.

tears of hope...

johna jenn helen jana sharon diane...

where were you?

peace.
