I liked Twiggy. Paulina just seems argumentative to me.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sione, on the other hand, YUM.
I know!

As for Idol, which I watch mostly for my BFF's benefit, I have to agree with this:
God, I hated the way Adam sang that song. Hated the interpretation. But he sure can sing.
I was struck by how he sticks his tongue all the way out and sings around it when he gets into the high register. He's not singing the words, he's just making the sounds.
Plus, and my friend fell over when I said this, Adam needs to adjust his diet. He's got a wicked white coating on that tongue and that's just not healthy.
I sort of wish he hadn't given me the opportunity to make that diagnosis, but there you have it.

It's interesting to me how different bodies react to losing so much weight so fast. Some look yummy...Sione and Tara...others look odd. Helen's NOSE stuck out of her head in a most Ikabod way and even Dane (who I loved) looks a bit out of proportion.
I felt so bad for David having to come back after clearly not making much of a change in his life. But once you've signed that contract, you can't opt out, eh? Daniel, seems well on his way and has such a great attitude. Bless him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, my friend totally sold me out on the TAR finale cast party! I forgot about it, until I just saw all the pictures on Facebook.

Do you think a savvy competitor on American Idol might actually want to come in 2nd or 3rd - get a big fan base, lots of name recognition, but avoid the actual recording contract that might be kind of restrictive? Or are lower-finishers bound by a contract option as well?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
every single top 24 contestant is potentially bound by the same 19E contract. they get first dibs on everyone. so this whole "not winning means they'll be less restricted" business is bunk.

Christ, McKey is so bad -- both in the ads AND on the runway.

Because books.
The going-home trips always make me sniffly. Imagine going away and coming back to your city a few months later to a PARADE. Surreal.

Crap, I just realized I bet I won't have room for the ANTM first season marathon on Sunday, because I'm going out of town, and already have a bunch of stuff sitting on the DVR.
