That so exciting, Kat!
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I totally thought they were going to do an underwater memory test!
Oh that would have been fun. And tough. Also, I want a personal submarine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Did anyone else watch the Voice last night?
I liked the performances, and only would have voted differently from the judge for one of the pairings (Blake Shelton), though I did wonder if Adam Levine set the male singer up to fail with his choice of song.

Yes, I certainly hope that they are going to have a wild card battle round because that poor dude was robbed. And Blake's choice is
not going to go over well with the whole homophobe tweet thing in the air.

Yeah, I was wondering if Blake is thinking about that at all now -- I mean, they taped the show a while ago, right?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agreed with Christina's choice, but I think that might be the only one with which I agreed. I preferred all the ones who went home from the other three judges.
It made me think that there was an attractiveness thing going on because all of the people chosen except perhaps Christina were more conventionally attractive than the ones who lost.

Because books.
I actually preferred Taralynn's voice/performance to Frenchie's, which surprised me, but that wig is so ... bad. And the makeup, too. She's so pretty, but it's all too much on her.
I was split on Adam's choice. I think the guy sang it too high, but it was a perfect choice for the girl. I like the male performer better overall, though, but that song seemed completely wrong for him.
The weird thing was that everyone loved Cee-Lo's girls, and I didn't like either. I thought they both sounded strained and forced.

Voice-wise she was better, but there was something about her attitude while singing that I hated.
If I had just had to send 4 total home, I would have sent both of Christina's, the Cee-Lo boot, and either country dude (but that's mostly because I don't love country) or Adam's guy.

I'm so fascinated by the format. Building the strongest team, and being responsible for the cuts along the way, is a whole new game.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Voicewise the ejected Christina contestant might have been better, but Frenchie performed it better, if that makes any sense.
I thought Blake's ejectee (in particular) was ROBBED.
