What a day..
*yawn* I’m tired. I woke up before 7am again. Ugh. At least I slept fairly early last night. My sleep cycle is massively fucked up right now. It’s not even funny. Oh well. At least today was pay day so I had something to look forward to. Plus I had a hair cut scheduled. It was time to chop it off. No heart attacks, I didn’t really chop it off. I had a trim of the dead and split ends and had it thinned. Two years, it was time. She took a total of 5 inches off and it’s still shoulder blade length when it’s down. Rob got his cut too, and more than made up for what I didn’t get cut off. He got his nearly shaved off. I don’t really much care for it, honestly, but if it’ll keep it short for a while, it’s good.
It was a long damn day, however, cuz we had to get his check before 11am and our appointments weren’t until 2pm. Logically it made no sense to come home in between for maybe half an hour, so we went into the city for a little bit. We pretty much wasted 3 hours doing nothing. We stopped at a new Asian place for lunch that actually has sushi. The *only* place I’ve found that has it near us. Now, I’ve *never* had sushi, so this was a new venture for me. One that I’m not sure I’ll repeat, either. The first two I tried weren’t bad. However, the other two, did not set well. I’m picky about rice, and the consistency of sushi rice is not something that works for me. But, I can say that I’ve tried it.
Now, however, I think it’s time to play a bit of pogo, then write a bit and head to bed. I’m tired.
Hope everyone had a happy Friday. I did, even though it was a bit gloomy starting out.

Goddamn… that was AMAZING! And so REAL looking! WOW!
Doobie doo.. wasting 2 hours.. just get to it already. I mean, it’s a great cause, but did we need 2 hours of boring performances?
Finally, results…
Goodbye to NO ONE?!? WTF????
Wow, bottom 2 are leaving next week.. Votes for both weeks count.
Trey weren’t kidding about a shocker!
Just a few highlights.. the show was fairly boring
Idol Chatter & Dancing results
It’s idol time! so…
Chris - Change he World - Great song choice, not quite so nasily, but not as good as he has been in the past.
Melinda - There will come a day - I’ve never heard of this song.. I like her, a lot. She does amazing no matter what she sings.
Blake - Imagine - Loved this performance. I prefer him over Lennon.
LaKisha - I believe - She can sing, and sing well. She chose badly, no one can be Fantasia.
Phil - The Change - Fantastic song choice, fantastic vocal. God that was a chilling song.
Jordin - You’ll never walk alone - This was not her song, at all. I think I’d rather hear Jerry Lewis sing this.
Top 3 - Melinda, Blake and Phil
Bottom 3 - Jordin, Chris, LaKisha
And on to the dancing..
The group dance was just awesome. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
Joss Stone and Dreamgirls cast, this will be a fun show.
Joss was good. The dancers were better.
Safety for.. Apolo and Laila. As expected.
Dreamgirls dance was good. I can’t wait to see the movie.
Jimmy Kimmel is still an idiot.
More Joss Stone. Ya.
Billy Ray in a dress! MG!
Safety for Joey. Excellent
Bottom two for John. Boo. 
Safety for Ian and Billy
And bottom two for Heather
All has gone well this week, as I was predicting.
Goodbye to Heather. Damn, we didn’t see her leg fly off and hit a judge.
Thoughts?
Monday means.. Dancing
Joey - I have no words for him tonight other than that he’s starting to look hot again. It wasn’t bad, it was just.. odd.
Heather - Not good. Not impressed.
John - Not bad, not good. He was alright
Laila - It was good til the end.. wtf?
Billy Ray - Uh … Wow… just no words. That was.. unique
Apolo - I liked this. could have found a better way than use a chair for a prop, but it was good.
Ian - Too stiff, he doesn’t look like he’s having any fun.
I really didn’t care for this week. Maybe it’s cuz I was meh about the show.
Not gonna bother with comments on the jive, just gonna post without it.

Just a dream…
I’ve had fucked up crazy dreams before, but this one beats all of them together. I came home from a trip somewhere, must have been gone for a while cuz I had a TON of clothes to wash. I had them bagged up to take to a laundromat, along with a couple bags of things for charity. So anyway, I’m at home with my guy. He happened to be someone from my past, whom I never dated, nor barely liked even. Some random girl, no idea who she was, but it’s not unusual for me to invent people in dreams. She was supposed to be my best friend. Anyway I was doing something, and the two of them disappear from my living room. I went outside with my laundry and donations and they were in his truck making out.
So I don’t get pissed, in fact I don’t really seem to care, I just put my clothes in his truck and get in, along with another person.. my mother, whom we’re taking to her doctor. We get there and I go in with her for a few until they call her back. I go back out to get my laundry to wash cuz the laundromat is across the street and my clothes are all gone. My guy isn’t there, but my friend is. I ask her where he is and she tells me he took the clothes for donation over. I flip, cuz he took all of them, including the stuff that I had intended to wash.
So he comes back, tells me he took everything, not realizing that some was just laundry. Tells me that it’s too late, cuz they all went straight on the truck and the truck was gone. I proceed to have a slight breakdown, but not bad, just make plans to go shopping for new clothes. I go back in to check on my mother. She’s not done, so I found a seat to wait for her, totally not caring about the guy and the friend and what they were doing.
I sit there for a few minutes and all of the sudden the sprinklers come on and announcement that it was shower time. A bunch of insane people come running in with tiny bars of soap, vying for room under the sprinklers. I try to escape the room, only to find that I’ve been locked in and the nurse is telling me that I’m a patient now and can never leave.
Yeah that’s fairly out of the ballpark of dreams, so no idea what the hell that was really about. Just thought I’d share a bit of my insane mind.
Idol Chatter and Dancing Results…
It’s Tuesday night, so it’s time for Idol and Dancing so the spoilers…
Phil - Where the Blacktop Ends - Please put your hat back on. Your shiny head is too much. Great crowd interaction, great song. I rally liked him tonight. He kicked the show of well and made the song his own. I really liked this.
Jordin - Broken Wings - I didn’t care for this. She was too breathy and it was kind of boring. She looked good tho.
Sanjaya - Something to talk about - Bonnie Raitt is NOT country! wtf? He gets bolder every week. But he still needs to leave. I did not like him tonight at all. Like Martina said, when he projects, he does better.
*snickers at Ryan and Simon fighting*
LaKisha - Jesus Take The Wheel - I like this SO much better than the Carrie Underwood version. She really hits it, you can tell she feels it and relates when she sings. Towards the end, it did sound like she was shouting but she’s still good..
Chris - Mayberry - *cringe* He stumbled a bit in the beginning, when he was standing still he did better, but it wasn’t my favorite of his. Great song, but not for him. The band is too loud, so he seems like he’s shouting to be heard.
Melinda - Trouble Is A Woman - This suits her a lot. It’s sassy, fun and different than you normally get from her. I’d never heard the song before, and I’m a country girl! Best of the night so far with just Blake left to sing.
Blake - When The Stars Go Blue - Band is too damn loud again. He started out well, but the chorus is rough as hell for him. He was alright, but not great.
Top 2: Melinda, Phil
Bottom 2: Sanjaya, Chris
Yay for a replay of the hotness that is Apolo! God they’re hot doing this dance. Apolo is just damn hot.
Great jive by the group. I always love watching the pro dances.
Safety for… Laila and John (?!) Wow John didn’t hit the bottom 2, I’m semi stunned!
Lisa Rinna as Roxy?!?! I WANT TO SEE THAT! I didn’t know she could sing!
Best Kimmel spot ever! That was an absolute riot.
Macy Gray singing.. not my favorite singer
Safety for … Apolo and Joey
Time wasting.. time wasting…
Safety for … Ian and Billy
Bottom for .. Clyde and Heather
I’m shocked at Billy being safe and not Heather. Those are the only 2 I question.
I think Heather’s fall did it for them to be in the bottom.
Goodbye to Clyde
It was time. Really.
Now it’s your turn.
Dancing with the Stars
Yay it’s that time again.
Ian - Not bad at all. I’m still amazed at how well he can dance, really.
Clyde - He is too tall for his partner. I think that’s a good share of their problem. It was boring.
Heather - She continues to amaze me every week really. She did really well, despite tripping and falling.
Joey - Where’s Sanjaya to sing for them? Boring, but okay. Joey feminine? Wow.. that’s not something I expected to hear.
John - Not liking this tonight. Odd selection, bad dancing… meh
Laila - I didn’t care for that much. It was well done, she did beautifully, I just found it boring. Then again I find this dance boring in general.
Apolo - Holy HOT! Best of the night! HOT! Damn were they good.
Billy Ray - He thinks too much when he dances. He wasn’t bad, but too stiff. He keeps improving at least.
So… what do you think?
Omg..
I haven’t laughed so hard in a LONG time over a video as I did this one!
I have to share:
