I don't start following American Idol until they're down to fewer than 10 contestants. Then I turn it on in the living room as I play on the computer, and I listen to the performances. I much prefer good songs to the atrocities in the auditions. And I watch the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of the final show. Because I don't need that much Ryan Seacrest in my life. A while back, I decided I liked Taylor best. Why? Hard to say. When he sang "You Send Me" it drew me away from the ...
Voyeurism
(now...what was that pic I was supposed to post again? I can't seem to recall...) This TV season I only watched 3 shows: Survivor, The Amazing Race, and The Apprentice. They're now finished, and I was pleased with the results on all three. Tonight I was hurting BAD for some television. So before I drove to the new library (I am so much in love w/that place that I want to become a librarian) with Mom, I set the DVR to record "American Idol" and ... and ... another show I'm too embarassed to ...
My shame
The Scene: An unloved, overfilled suburban apartment. A striking blond woman sits crouched in the corner, hidden by shadows. She clutches a cordless phone in her hands and furtively dials a number. She places the phone to her ear for a moment, and then quickly disconnects the call. Suddenly, Thor, the Norse God of War, arises from his chair, where he was polishing his Hammer of Lightning.

Monday morning I slept in. :) Yesterday I had to head to work early to take care of my baby - the CP site. This MORNING, I downloaded the Microsoft XP update, and it promptly messed up the touchpad on my laptop. The touchpad settings were reset, and the arrow was sliding all over the place.

This afternoon I bought the album. ($12.99 at Sam Goody -- cheaper than I thought -- by jove you're learning!)See? We're not all as criminal as you think we are.Love, Hugs, & Cheesesteaks ...
Die Mr. Frodo!
Not too terribly much to blog about at all. A few impasses at work. Crappy eating habits. And a free (FREE!) Lord of the Rings:Return of the King PC game from work. I think I'm going to play Frodo and run him RIGHT into Mount Doom.I did watch tonight's episode of American Idol, and the one person who I thought was just horrible (Fantasia) got the best rating from the judges. Now I know how out of it I really am.Not much bloggage. Sleepy. Is it Friday yet? ...
