Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
ETA: Andi says someone posted this earlier, I must have skipped and skimmed. I don't care, this is cool.
I don't watch any Idol shows, I don't watch much TV at all any more, so I may have missed the boat on some things, but I happened upon the story about a 47-year-old competitor on Briton's Got Talent.
Do yourself a favor and spend seven Minutes with Susan Boyle on YouTube: [link]
I love watching the judges jaws drop.
We has snow. Lots of snow with more coming. CJ is bummed that his school isn't closed today.
I loved Simon's eyebrows going up by about note three.
Some curmudgeon on EW.com was saying he didn't get it-- that her voice wasn't any big deal. Wanker. Her voice is untrained, sure, and no doubt she was nervous as hell (I know I would've been!) but it's definitely the real deal.
I was waiting for the judges to say, "Ok, everybody else can just go home. This is it."
Yeah, that's not how those shows work, but still...
I was waiting for the judges to say, "Ok, everybody else can just go home. This is it."
Heh-- funny you should say that. I was just watching a clip from CBS This Morning that aired today where they interviewed Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden, the Two Judges Who Aren't Simon, and they both said there were some interesting acts coming up in the next few weeks, because at this point, they know who the forty finalists are going to be.
They said something about a guy who came out dressed up as Darth Vader and did a Michael Jackson moonwalk.
Yeah.
I think Susan's got it, if she doesn't choke.
Okay, can this possibly be for real?
The Mid America CropLife Association (MACA) has a bone to pick with Michelle Obama.
MACA represents chemical companies that produce pesticides, and they are angry that - wait for it - Michelle Obama isn't using chemicals in her organic garden at the White House.
We are not making this up.
In an email they forwarded to their supporters, a MACA spokesman wrote, "While a garden is a great idea, the thought of it being organic made [us] shudder." MACA went on to publish a letter it had sent to the First Lady asking her to consider using chemicals -- or what they call "crop protection products" -- in her garden.
Clearly MACA is delusional. If I used their products somehow, I'd boycott them.
Susan won't choke.
As long as she doesn't keep doing that cha cha cha dance routine, and sings like an angel, she'll be fine.
Today, it's very dark outside. A storm is a brewin'. I hope it's not a premonition of what my day at work will be like. No, I'm not wearing the Urban Sniper hat.
Hey, does anyone have any Mary Kay Product recs? It would be politically advantageous for me to buy some, because the IT person here sells it.
Perkins, their timewise skin care products are really good. They're a bit expensive, but I noticed a real change in my skin using the cleanser, toner, moisturizer each night. Here's the web page: [link]
(One of my good friends sells Mary Kay, so I tried them for her and ended up really liking them.)
