Well, on the "glass half full" side of the equation, at least it's a short season -- there's not as much to catch up on. The finale is coming up this Thursday already.

And in a case of reality shows colliding, I read on another board that Kara Saun is the stylist for Dance Crew. So we can blame her for the hideousness that was JC's brown plaid shirt with teeny ruffles last week. And OMG the bow tie. She must be shot.

I love and hate you people.

ditto. I just watched two nights of American Idol. I've never seen this show before...and I. watched. two of them. In the middle of the night.

No wait, I don't hate you. I hate myself.

AI: Another night of poor song choices I'm afraid, particularly by my favorites (Brooke and Carly) who did themselves no favors tonight.

I'd be happy with any of these going: Ramiele, Jason (and not just because he looks disturbingly like an ex), David A. (who seems to have put some sort of whammy on the judges since they can't even manage to call him out for a bad version of a bad song), and Kristy Lee Cook (who I can't like since I decided she reminded me of Sally from the Flight of the Conchords, even though she has been getting better).

Chikezie and Sayesha continue to baffle me with their song choices.

I can't believe Michael Johns and David Cook were my favorites. I didn't love the opener of "Billie Jean", but it got better.

Oh, I don't think it's fair to blame Kara Saun for JC's questionable fashion choices. Not when you consider his track record.

Hah! I am awake, but saving the Dance Crew that is on my TiVo for tomorrow.

And am once again glad I do not watch AI. Though I was subjected to two hours of "ROCK OF LOVE II" the other night, by a "friend". Dear god.

Punishingly Intricate

hah! I just found out that the same production company that does Ace of Cakes is doing a reality show about my friends' stores. To be aired on G4. crazy!

eta Although it's possibly an April Fool's joke.

Bwah! That bowtie!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is it wrong that Eval Dick's comment last night about how cheap Big Brother was for still having the same pots as last year made me giggle?
