American Idol

I am watching both nights of American Idol tonight- this is actually one of my favorite parts. I always love Hollywood week. Except I am totally against the team challenge- it is completely unfair. These people are being groomed to be soloists- and to have to rely on other douches is just not fair

I still think that those who have been profiled have a much better chance when it comes time for the public to vote

Oh Christ Skibo is there- I didn't enjoy him the first time and we'll see if I enjoy him. I don't love his tone but he's not as bad as I remember. Oh god leave....he's freakin annoying

Oh I hope the country girl does well- I really liked her. I feel so bad for her- she is like so many girls I know who just don't feel like they have anywhere to go.

I don't love Andrew's style of music but I can appreciate what he is doing with Straight Up- he is pretty good

I hope Vanessa can take control and stop being so nervous. What a weird weird song to chose....I think she should have stuck with country. Oh poor Vanessa- she was cute but she chose such a bad song. It was a horrible song

I'm not sure why some of these people use an instrument- they just just focus on the vocals. That is what they are looking at. Oh poor Amadeo- I did like him

Oh little Hailey put away the guitar....it's not worth it. Just focus on your voice. She is a little cutie and I think she can go far

I like the rocker mom too- she is someone who would sing music that I enjoy

Oh for the love of god not the beatboxer- I HATE BEATBOXING!! Thank god they don't enjoy it

I do like Big Mike because he is super charismatic. I'm pretty sure he is booted from the show though because his father leaks that he is a finalist

Oh I really liked Tim- he has a good voice

God I despise crooners...and unnecessary runs...urg.

Oh shocking the sisters are gone...as is the dominatrix...

Have these people never watched this show? Why the hell do they pick weird obscure songs? Sing something easy that you can do an amazing job on

I really like Didi- I like this audition much better than the last time we saw her

Oh Crystal is really good too- needs a makeover but girl can sing.

These groups are always a trainwreck- to me this is a waste. Although I do like that the are singing Lady Gaga Bad Romance.

Wow the punk ass mother is becoming a huge ass bitch

Didn't love the first group doing to the left- I thought they were super sharp

The one guy in team awesome didn't seem to sing.

Oh god the rival Bad Romance team Destiny's Wild are a bunch of douche divas. Oh god that ending was ATROCIOUS!! Totally off key!! The are just horrid

Moorea- is a complete crackpot- I would not have wanted have bene in her group. People are cheering because this Jermaine screamed off key? Seriously- i don't understand the chilluns

Ok there is something that I hate as much beatboxing- and that would be scatting

Glee News

Molly Shannon is joining Glee...as a nemesis for my role model Sue! How fantastic is that!?!? God this show is just getting more and more amazing!

The Bachelor

I can't wait to see the drama that awaits me with tonight's episode!

Ok kissing pictures are retarded- truly no one but you wants to see that

I just don't see him with Gia- he is affectionate with her but I don't see it...

Ok this thing with Ally and her grandmother is way too much for me. She knew about him? He was welcomed into the family by going into her house? And she had tears- way way too much

Urg Tenley- she drives me nuts. I hate her voice SOOO much- but I think she is the best for him. Jesus Christ she is going to dance!?!? THE DANCE THAT IS IN HER HEART!?!? Someone get the shovel- I need to beat her upside the head. OH CHRIST- Pachelbel's canon!??!!?!? Could this BE any cheesier!>?!!?

WHY IS HER MOM CRYING?!?!?!!? This is too much for me- I'm feeling violent. This family is way too much for me! All the crying is ridiculous! Is that the first time that Jake asked from permission? I think it is

Vienna- your guy didn't really know the guy you were with for 4 years?! That is weird. Oh god another family that is crying- what the hell is wrong with these people/!?!

So he is scared by what he feels for Vienna? But he asked Tenley's dad for permission...interesting

Oh and Alli's at the door- I'm guessing she is going to say she's going home. Oh god another work thing- her and Ed....didn't she book the time off?! Wasn't she prepared?!?! Is she going to pull an Ed and leave and hope absence makes the heart grow fonder. Her crying doesn't seem genuine at all. My friend Courtney just said it's her way of trying to get him to say he wants her to stay and be the one and I agree with her

Loving the collapse in the hall- haha!! Love the melodrama...and looking to make sure the camera caught it all...someone wants to be the next bachelorette...

Ok Alli's pouting is way too much! Melanie pointed out how she hates how huge her bottom lip is with no top lip....I can't stand her black beady eyes. People with super dark eyes like that that have no emotion bother me

What the hell does this girl do for a living that is so important?! And why didn't she book the time off? There is only like a week left

Thank god that's over- that was way too melodramatic. And look- he's hanging over a railing again

I wonder who he would have eliminated...I'm guessing Gia

A Thousand Splendid Suns

This book was highly recommended to me by a friend of my mother's who said she read this in a few days. I have to say all in all it was a good book. It was well written and it was a very compelling story. But I have to say- it was a tough read for me. It chronicles the life of women in Afghanistan over the past 50 years. And as we all know the oppression of the Taliban was atrocious. But there is so much more that has happened there and that is still happening. I found it super hard to read at times- especially when it involved excessive brutality. I have no problem reading historical novels and the violence does not normally affect me. But there is a reason- it is the past. It is not happening now- there is nothing I can do to change history. But when I know it is happening right now as we sepak- it just way too disturbing to me. It makes me hate people. And it strenghthens my hatred of religion- because let's be honest almost all this shit happens in the name of religion
.
Allright enough with the sidebars- I do recommend this book. But you definitely need to be in the right state of mind for it

RIP Alice Horton

Oh Alice Horton...you were a huge part of my childhood. I looked forward to the Horton family Christmas every year! The fact that you have been still going on the show was comforting. RIP- and say hello to Macdonald Carey for me.

New Celebrity Baby Name

Now Will Ferrell you know I love you...and it pains me to insult you...but this...this name...it's truly unacceptable...

Axel. Seriously- unless you are the lead singer of the best band EVER it is unacceptable. I know that your other children are Magnus and Mattias and your wife is Swedish but still...Axel is not ok!! It's one of the reasons I have some issues with the Middle- hate the name so much!

The Bachelor

Ok Jake is looking really good in the opening shot in his leather jacket. I can't get over how desperate someone that good looking is

Is it just me or is Tenley getting blonder with each episode. She is such a tool but does seem nice...just not necessarily intelligent

Well I think Corey is for sure the next one going home- he hasn't really connected with her

HAHA of course the group date is Ally and Vienna- the producers are good. Ok Corey is a bitch...well her and Ally- Ally reacted so badly. Ally you are such a freakin cow.

I'm not sure what it is about Tenley that makes my blood boil....it might be the similarities to Trista and the soft talking...

Vienna should definitely not be saying all these things in front of Gia- the girl is not showing great judgment skills

Vienna what the hell are you doing trying to find them!? Leave them alone!

I don't really see any sparks between Vienna and Jake anymore. He just looks apprehensive and tense. Oh there is definitely more chemistry with him and Gia. Oh god Vienna is proving to be a stalker

I think Jake and Corey are awkward- I mean the Vienna thing was bad but he does now her a little bit more than he knows Corey.

I'm not sure if I would lie on top of a guy like that in the middle of the day in a big open space- not sure how appropriate that is...

Yup it's down to Vienna and Corey- not surprising. And of course it's Corey- there was nothing there between them during the date
