Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

heh ... my mother used to refer to those cuts as Buster Brown styles. We have a picture of her, age five or so, with one.

And at one point I had long hair (real). It was hip length. That's a LOT of hair - it tangles, it gets caught in things, takes forever to dry. They'll learn.

Also, most of those girls don't know how to take care of a weave and so after about a week the hair starts looking like Barbie hair. Learn to love the sleep cap, white girl weave wearers, or else prepare to join the Busted Weave Wearers of America.

Buster Brown. Ha! It was sad for Tyra that she didn't know what she had actually done with her one successful hair transformation. I still can't believe that the southern girl with the baby voice and the blonde girl with the big blue eyes got nothing done to their hair. No cut, no color. Nothing. Wash and set! How does that even count as a make over?

AI: Steven Tyler was coked out of his mind, y'all. For real, he didn't even look like he knew where he was. Did he even say anything all night? And since he hoovered up all the coke supply, the hair and make up department clearly had to settle for the meth - thus the shocking lack of grooming for the kids tonight. They needed all the hairbrush bristles and the mica and other chemicals in the make up to supply their homemade lab. And no one but a meth zombie would've put that nappy fauxhawk on Ashthon Jones. And on the night she went home, too. Oh, the humanity. Clearly, Glambert brought Sutan/Raja with him to serve his own hair and make up needs. That boy's mama didn't raise no fool.

I wasn't in love with Glambert's new song. It sounded kind of just exactly like every other song he's made since he won this show. (And yes, I have convinced myself that he won his season and that's not even a slam on Kris) Didn't even matter though because he gave a clinic on how you properly deploy the rock scream and he got the entire show - audience, judges panel, contestants, even RyRy - to do the Dougie because he is made of magic and rainbows and sparkly glitter!

It seems that they were lip synching again during the MJ group sing, which was so sleepy and dull not even the ending pointy pose could save it and there's still too many of them for the Ford pimpmercial to make any impression on me. I was right on with my prediction that Karen and Ashthon would hit B3 with Haley thrown in the mix just because Ryan wanted to fuck with her. And really, who didn't know that Ashthon was going home? What a waste of a wildcard pick. The upside? Denying her the Judges' Save turned JLo into a Puerto 'bueli for a minute. “I’m sorry, baby. It’s not you. Not tonight, baby. And you know I was rooting for you, baby. And it was unanimous, baby.” OK, abuelita. I think it's time for your siesta.

I'm worried about Casey. That's the second time in the last three weeks he's been in the hospital. What's wrong with that fool?

I wasn't in love with Glambert's new song.

It wasn't a new song. Aftermath was on his album, this was just an accoustic version.

I am worried about Casey too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

He has been having stomach pains and blood transfusions. Any guesses?

It can't be ulcers, right?

I've seen some folks speculating that Casey might have Crohn's Disease but I don't know enough about it to know whether that's a real possibility or just internet bs. I do hope that he gets better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

hmm. I have had a couple of students who have had it and this doesn't match their symptoms, even the most severe case. But I'm hardly an expert.

If he is this bad off with Crohn's - I think he needs surgery and his discomfort level must be off the charts.

Could he be anemic?

Based on my crazy anemia, I'd say no. No stomach pains and a good infusion of iron is amazing, though I have heard of transfusions as a faster way to replace iron. But not something that would put him in the hospital and in pain.

I have heard bleeding ulcer as a rumor.

Survivor: I'm sort of glad Russell is gone because he was so toxic. I don't think he ever had a chance after people had seen him play. Twice. Rob, otoh, is a really smart dude. I would totally hire him for just about anything, assuming I could be convicts that he was in my side.

Philip is weird and a little scary. But he was dead on about te lying.
