It's Time

One of the first things that lead me to blogging (just wait til you find out what anniversary is coming up for me) was my love of American Idol and my need to recap it. I don't do much with the early shows because... well they're confusing and kinda dumb. And you get attached to people who get axed and people you've never seen before end up in the final 36 and really... they're kinda dumb.

But last night they pared us down to our 36. So it begins.

Now most of you are new to me and my AI recaps. Let me first say. 9 times out of 10, I fully agree with Simon. Sure, he can be a little cold, but when someone stinks, they need to know it. How can they know they have things they need to fix if someone just claps like a seal and says "You have such a great smile".... Or "Yo Dwag, you keepin it real"... yeah.. that's helpful. I'm interested to see how it goes with the new judge - Kara. So far I like her style, and she seems to be not as unhelpful as Paula (and not as stoned) but a little less crass than Simon. I like it.

This year Ryan seems to be channeling his inner Mr. Rogers in his wardrobe choices. I keep waiting for him to open the show by changing into his Keds tennies.

I'm not gonna do a full recap of all the contestants yet... other than to say that Tatiana makes me want to damage myself, Head-band-boy needs to take the drama down in an amount that would equal the number of our national debt, and Norman/Nick... um... where is THAT gonna go?

On the good side we have Bald Man & Oil Rig Man. Kori and I (who will be watching AI together all season) each love us one of those guys, and they both made it through... I predict they'll go far on the Mommy vote.

I promise to be more detailed in the future, so even if you don't see AI, you'll still be able to relive it in all it's glory.

And it's possible that we'll have a guest reviewer... I'm not promising anything, but we'll see.

OH HEY - please keep Kori in your prayers. Richard gets his scan results today and will be checking in for his 2-week CF tune up today... So actually pray for all of them, okay?

Oh YEAH - one more thing - 34 hours approx til I see Mr. B. But who's counting. :)
