That Cry Me a River sounds really great-- to me it sounds like a totally different singer. Doesn't really change the quality of the Britain's Got Talent performance, though.
Mighty fine shindig.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Could have been nerves--I read that it was the first time she performed since her mother died. I was impressed but I also may have been reacting to Simon Cowell's face.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
She was aiming for Broadway (or West End). Sounded good to me.
Though yes, the song was too low for her in the low parts.

Our wings are not tired.
I like the BGT video specifically because of all of the smirking that went on before she performed, and how taken aback the audience and judges were. I thought she sang the song very, very well, especially under the circumstances. But when I heard "Cry Me a River", I felt like a true talent had finally been discovered.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Made it until 4 this time. Progress? Anyway, this is 4 and my brain is still leaking out my ears, so I'm going to clean up and get some pain meds.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Could slept till 9 and up at 6. Can't get a horrible co-worker out of my head and how I keep failing to handle her professionally because she keeps pushing me into my hostile zone.

Happy belated birthday, Sheryl!
And sara! Whoooo! Go you, and house, and everything! Wish I could be there to give a hand. I love helping friends-people to move.
ita and Juliebird, your minds and brain should give you a ****ing break, IMHO. Is weekend.

After a lot of phone calls and deciding to read for a bit to chill, I ended up falling asleep on the futon. Whoopsie. But it's comfy!
But now I'm up and need to shower and damn, wish I could have internet at both places but a) don't want 2 bills, though I may and b) haven't set that up yet. Friend will be bringing her blackberry, but I ain't figuring that out. I can barely answer my cell.

Loki is so damned affectionate in the morning. He keeps falling over on me.
I took a page from msbelle's playbook and went out and got dunkin donuts coffee and an egg croissant. Normally, I wouldn't eat anything for a few hours, but I don't want a meltdown.

At YMCA for karate and it is an open house day here, which means MADHOUSE and the place I usually sit and knit and visit with other moms while he is in class, that area has been taken over. So, for the first time ever, I am sitting in his class and watching.
