Glass Sinks

I was thinking about getting a glass sink like these for when I move out:

They are very beautiful. The only thing I worry about with having these kind of sinks is having the boyfriend’s 6-year old daughter around. Things always seem to get broken when children are around, so we will see. They look very space friendly so I could even get two of them and have his and her sinks for the hubby and me.

Addicted to Ace Young

I’m officially obsessed!

Ace Young being interviewed by the WNCI 97.9 DJ’s

I went to an Ace Young impromtu concert a few weeks ago. For those of you that are not American Idol fiends, Ace Young was a contestant of the show two seasons ago. He’s very talented and not to mention very good looking! I wouldn’t mind having him sprawled out on a few of my down comforters in nothing but a smile.

If you listen to the actual audio recording of “Addicted” it sounds good, but if you hear him sing it live and acoustic it is GREAT!

Graphically Inclined

Ashop Commerce

Not am I only a huge Happy Bunny fan, but I love basic graphic t-shirts and babydoll tees.

Idea’s starting running through my mind for t-shirt ideas that I wouldn’t mind buying if they had certain sayings on them. I know there are personalization tools out there that allow you to make your own t-shirts, but I have so many ideas that my mind cannot even catch up to the keyboard.

I had the idea to possibly try and make my own with ecommerce software. I could personalize it with my own design, put my own designs, make it my way and put it on my webspace. That way, I don’t have to worry about doing good buisness because I can still pay for my monthly web hosting fees.

I have a few shopping cart software options picked out that are very workable as far as design. I might experiment around with it to see what kind of designs I can come up with.

Anyone have any ideas?

American Idol Elimination Recap

It’s Wednesday night on American Idol which means cheesy group performances and shameless plugs and recaps.

Speaking of shameless plugs, I loved the smooth transitioning iTunes plug.

“I wake up every morning, pee in the shower, download American Idol iTunes to my iPod, and have breakfast…”

Ok no one really said that but seriously! Could their Coke and iTunes plug be just a little bit more obvious? You wouldn’t even need GPS to find the cheesy, obvious-ness of the shameless plugs that these poor kids suck at. I guess they work either way because I’m going to go download David Cook’s performances this weekend.

Chickezie was the first contestant selected to be in the bottom three, followed by Syesha.

Kimberly Locke was the featured performer for the night. She still looks amazing. She was one of my favorites in Season 2 when I first started seriously getting involved with American Idol. I did not like the song she sang though. It’s a country remake of the song “Fall” but I guess it was karma coming back to haunt Country music since Country music always takes popular Top 40 songs and twang it up. I hate remakes in general anyways but who’s really judging Kimberly Locke anyways, she’s already got a record deal.

Chickezie was eliminated. This means we must endure another week of Kristy Lee Cook performances. God help us all.

American Idol Reviews: Top 10 “Year You Were Born” Night

On American Idol this week the contestants had to pick a song to perform that was from the year they were born. Some of these contestants you find out are so young, it makes me in my mid-20 something’s look so old. At least we should be able to recognize some of the songs because they should be some-what modern.

Little Ramiele sang Heart’s “Alone” while being sick. She did a great job given the circumstances and I’m so thrilled that she is in the Top 10 because when she doesn’t make it through the competition; I can at least see her on tour when they come to town. The judges didn’t agree with me at all, Randy still didn’t like the song choice. Better luck next week Ramiele if she makes it through this week’s elimination. I do feel that with her Filipino background that she does have a lot of support around her if she does bad or not. Filipino’s would support a jalapeño on a stick if it came from the Philippines.

Jason Castro sang Sting’s “Fragile” like a star! He is a star, all he has to do is finish this upcoming AI tour and let loose. Simon says that he played the guitar sloppy and had potential to be a winner but not with performances like the one he put on tonight.

Syesha belted “If I Was Your Woman” like she had been doing it for years. She does not look like she is 20. All these contestants are such younglings. Randy said it was her best performance of the whole competition so far and Simon said that the end of the performance wasn’t as good as Randy said it was.

Chickezie sounded marvelous singing “If Only for One Night” Randy said he didn’t give the song a fresh feeling like Syesha did with her last song. Paula disagreed with Randy. Simon said it was cheesy and he had to show originality and he missed his personality. I personally loved the way he worked the crowd in the performance. That’s how to get your audience’s attention, what girl doesn’t want to be sung to?

All-American girl Brooke White sang “Every Step You Take” on the piano while the audience waved their hand back and forth out of sync. The band eventually joined in the song towards the end. She messed up the song right off the bat with the first two words and had to start over again. Randy said the song would have been better if the band didn’t join in towards the end but surprisingly enough, loved the fact that she messed up the first two words of the song and decided to start over again. It showed him professionalism.

Paula brought up a whole other debate about how she loves that the contestant’s get to bring a whole other element into the competition with some playing instruments. It’s just too bad that two (Brooke and David) out of the 3 contestants that have played instruments on the show have made records and had record deals in the past. I’m sure if we dug a little further, Jason Castro probably had a record made in someone’s basement, or at least smoked a joint there.

Michael John’s…makes my taco crunch. Guapo Ese! Randy said that was his best performance on the competition. Simon says with this performance this was the first time he saw star potential in him.

Carly Smithson sang “Total Eclipse of the Heart” perfectly. It was so record-worthy. Most of the judges didn’t like it. Simon told her to lighten up a bit.

David Archuleta’s childhood video’s made me want to squeeze his cute little head off even more. I wasn’t familiar with the song he sang, but I still liked it. Randy said that “If you can sing, you can sing whatever” Paula said “you could sing the phone book” and we would still love it. Simon said it was “reminiscent of a theme park performance” complete with little magical creatures flittering about. Eh?

Kristy Lee Cook sang “God Bless the USA” and finally she puts on a good quality performance.

David Cook had a big head…when he was a baby that is. But he put the most unique, tasteful, amazing performance of “Billie Jean” No one else could of done what he did in that performance. The take on that song could have been a complete mess, but it was just completely, completely mind blowing and amazing.

Jorge’s Pick’s of the Night

Best Performance: David Cook

Worst Performance: Ramiele Malubay

American Idol Elimination Recap

This post contains the spoiler. Do not read on if you have not watched the show yet.

I just absolutly dread elimiation night. Not because my favorite people could possibly be eliminated, but because of those stupid, cheesy song and dance numbers they make some of these poor people do. You’ve got great rock singers like David Cook and Carly Smithson dancing like little ballerina’s for no reason. American Idol is a singing competition! Those people shouldn’t be dancing.

Altough David Hernandez does dance like a Backstreet Boy, maybe they can just make David Dance around in a tutu since he’s suposedly got the dancing thing down.

If there was any God where was he when they made Kristy Leigh Cook perform that horrendous number again. I’m going to need a blood transfusion after all the blood I’ve lost from my ears.

I really liked the phone calls taken from the fans. Ryan admitted he wants to mud wrestle with Simon, tell us something we don’t know.

Why out of all American Idol past contestants, did they get Katherine McPhee to perform? She hasn’t done anything since the show except have one good single, marry an old guy and put on a boring performance on American Idol wearing a go-go outfit. Why don’t we just bring Justin Guarini in for the next performance. He’d probably look better in the dress.

So the bottom three ended up being Syesa, David Hernandez and Kristy Leigh Cook. Just when I was going to be excited that Kristy was going home they sent home…

David Hernandez.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What the hell is that?????

Someone quick…tell him they need a 5th memeber for NSync to do a reunion! I’d go see that!

American Idol One Liner Reviews: Top 12 Lennon/McCarthy Night

It was Lennon/McCarthy Song night with the Top 12 Performing for the first time on the new stage setup and look. It’s about time.

Syesha opened up the show with “Got to Get You into My Life” I guess the stylists didn’t dress her up tonight because she looked as plain as Simon. The performance was nice, but could have been more energetic. Someone seriously needs to tell Paula she has to speak in fewer sentences.

Chickezie sang “She’s A Woman” this was pretty rocking’ fun. He did awesome! If I didn’t want to look stupid, I would have gotten up and danced along. Ryan is drunk at this point in the show and he’s jumping around stage and touching Chickezie’s hair and probably loving it since Danny is gone.

Cute, little Ramiele sang “In My Life” For some reason she seems to have one of those voices that end up on voice over for Disney movies.  It was ok, a little boring, but OK. She could have chosen a song that showed off more of her voice power.

Jason Castro sang “If I Fell” with his guitar. I’d love to attack his with some scissors. He sounds pro when he sings anything, period. I hope he sticks around next week. “Student in a bedroom at midnight…” where in the hell did Simon pull that out of? He’s probably imagining Ryan in a bedroom at midnight.

Carly Smithson sang “Come Together” The song wasn’t real familiar to me but I loved it and she rocked it out. She knows what she’s doing, she knows she’s good and she works it for every minute its worth.

David Cook (My personal favorite!) He can serve me a drink anytime! He sang “Eleanor Rigby” He reminds me of Jason Wade from Lifehouse. He’s so record worthy already, I can’t kiss this guy’s butt any more than I am now! I love love love this guy, he makes me drool/giggle/squeal like a little high school girl.

Brooke White sang “Let It Be” she’s cheesy, but absolutely beautiful. Am I the only one that her voice was a little crackly during points of the song? I think she was almost ready to cry in the middle of the song. That upper lip kept snarling up throughout the entire performance and it was kind of distracting but it was good.

David Hernandez sang “Standing There” He’s so pretty! He’s too pretty to look at. There’s just something about him that just doesn’t entertain me as much as the other contestants.

Amanda Overmyer would look like a complete knockout if her hair didn’t look like a striped skunk. Besides the fact, she sang “You Can’t Do That” I stopped paying attention to the performance two seconds into it so I don’t have anything else to say.

Michael John’s performance was absolutely Beautiful with a capital “B” I think he picked the perfect song to fit his voice.

Kristy Leigh Cook sang “8 Days a Week” in a Country style. I stopped paying attention to this one too because listening to it made me want to get drunk so I could get the thought of that performance out of my head.

David Archuleta is here to save the day! Dum! Dum! Dum! He sang “We Can Work It Out” and then I had to take back my first statement after he forgot the words to the song within two seconds of it. My heart literally sank into my chest. Hopefully he can bounce back next week.

 

Jorge’s Pick of the Week

Best: Carly Smithson

Worst: Kristy Leigh Cook

Rock of Love 2: Recap

This post contains the spoiler so if you are a fan of the show, you better not read on.

I watch this show to make me feel better about myself because I have never seen so many empty headed airheads in one area at once.

Today’s challenge was to put on a USO Show for the Veterans. Oh God! Half of these girls cannot even pronounce most of the words to the Preamble. Granted, I never memorized the Preamble, but at least I can annunciate the words. What a bag of airheads.

Kristy Joe and Amber did a tap dance like a bunch of monkey’s on crack.

Megan & Jessica did a striptease and caused a bunch of old men to up their dosage on viagra.

Destiny & Ina sexed it up a little more and stripped like a bunch of….go-go dancers? Yeah, that sounds like a nice enough word!

Daisy the tone deaf sea monkey sang the National Anthem. I think? What moron dosn’t know the words to the National Anthem? This is my fave girl in the competition, but this was just pretty sad.

Amber called out Kristy Joe at dinner. What a nutcase! Brett seriously needs to get rid of her. Amber then tries to apologize to Kristy Joe and she didn’t give a crap. I’d punch the emotionless fruitbasket square in the nose.

So finally it’s down to Ina and Kristy Joe. Halleujah I’m thinking loony Kristy Joe is finally going home and then…

Rock of Love 2 - Ina

He gets rid of Amazon Woman Ina. Oh well, better luck next week I guess.

Grindhouse Presents: Planet Terror

Rose McGowan

 I got around to watching Quinten Tarentino’s “Planet Terror” since it premiered on the Starz channel and needless to say it was…weird.

Call me a feminist, but I will love any movie that starts off the first 20 minutes with a guy getting his balls cut off. Call me gruesome, but I wish I could do that to a few choice men in my past.

The rest of the movie for me looked like a bunch of zombies eating each other up and the victims die and come back to life as zombies themselves. Sound familiar? Sounds like a storyline from “Dawn of the Dead”

A positive that I did like the movie was the old fashioned look to it. The picture quality looked like right out of an old movie, which is something unique you don’t see everyday. And the blood splurting rampidly everywhere was pretty cool in a gruesome sort of way.

This movie was hard for my feeble mind to follow at times, and of course the whole “machine gun leg” scene was the highlight of the whole movie.

So it was interesting to watch the first time, but now that I’ve seen it, I wouldn’t watch it again.

Ryan’s Life Must Be Soooooo Hard.

Ryan ShecklerI have been watching Life of Ryan a lot lately, more so for the fact that my boyfriend seems to love that show. He loves all those shows that feature skaters.

All I really see when I watch this show is a richie rich skater boy who thinks the most painful thing he will ever go though in life is his parents divorcing. Give me a break, there are starving children, children dying from cancer in the world, common folk working 3 jobs to survive, and I have to listen to this guy cry and whine about his parents splitting up. Someone needs to send him to serve food at an open shelter.

The episode I watched today he wanted to get a dog. Everyone was telling him he shouldn’t get one because he travels a lot and would have to leave the dog at home, but he still wanted to get it. Can we ay M-O-R-O-N, people like him just want what their money can get them but they don’t think of the consquences. Luckily he finally “saw the light” at the end of the show and decided to not get the dog that he probably would have neglected after a week.

I will have to admit though, he is nice to look at. He’s a spoiled brat, but nice to look at.

American Idol Elimination Recap

Sorry for the lack of review for the girls night of AI. I herd it sucked balls, so maybe I just saved myself from cutting my fingers off and and stuffing them down my ears. But I shall cheer up because it’s my favorite time of the week, time to weed out some of the awfulness that is American Idol.

At this point as long as David Archuleta is still in it, I don’t care about anyone else.

Did I mention how much I love group performances? I feel like I’m watching a reality TV version of “The Backyardigans”

American Idol Backyardigans

Did anyone else think that look on Danny’s face was priceless when he thought he was going home? He looked like he was in the semifinals of Miss America.

Jason Yeager was the first guy to go home. I still feel bad for him after the lashing Simon gave him, but he honestly could have been better (and stopped the cheesy smiling.) I am granted a little disappointed he’s gone now because he was one of my eye candies.

Alexandria Lushington was the first of the girls to go home. I was hoping Mrs. Munster was going to be the victim. After seeing a recap of Alexandria’s performance last night which I inadvertently missed I feel it was probably well-deserved. I felt bad for David Archuleta crying in the background though. I just wanted to squeeze his cute little self. If it was anyone else crying I would have been like “Listen here stoop! That’s one less competition for you. Quit crying! Suck it up!”

Then it was down to Kady Malloy and Alaina Whitaker, Alaina got picked to go home and Ramiele and Danny cried…AGAIN, someone needs to surgically remove their tear ducts or I am going to loose mine laughing at them. I didn’t remember Alaina much out of the competition, but of course Paula always tells everyone “This is just a start of a great career for you” which is a crock of horse poop.

Then it was down to Robbie Carrico and Luke Menard, thank God we finally sent “Robbie the Faker” home. I’m a little disappointed now because I will never know if he really was wearing a wig. But now he can go shave off that rock faced and be my new Justin Timberlake fantasy. More crying commenced. If these people are going to miss each other that much, maybe they should all just sleep with each other.

Well, I will have to admit, I will miss picking on Robbie, so I will have to find a new target for next week. Back to the refugee boat for much long needed pondering.

American Idol Reviews: Top 10 Girls Night

Sorry kiddies! I have no fun and exciting American Idol Review for the Girls Night. I was delightfully sick and decided to go into a NyQuil induced coma instead of watch American Idol. At least I have my proof now that I do have somewhat of a life, even though I feel like a major slacker right now.

I did have the pleasure of listening to the mess that was Girl’s Night on American Idol on my local radio’s recap morning show. From what I did hear, it sounded like Carly Smithson was the best of the night and Kady Malloy would have made me slash my wrists up with the horridness of her performance. Poor girl should have stuck with the Britney Spears voice.

Anyways, I will be live in front of the TV tonight for the elimination show. As for last night, my elimination picks are for Kady Malloy and Amanda Overmyer  for the girls, and Luke Menard and Jason Yeagear for the guys.

American Idol One Liner Reviews: Top 10 Guys Night

It was 70’s Night on AI.

Michael Johns started off the night talking about tennis. Oooook! But he did put a great spin on “You Can Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac. His voice in this performance kind of reminded me of a Jason Wade from Lifehouse. That vein in his neck was a little distracting when he was singing, but I did like it a lot, the performance that is, not the vein!

Jason Castro talks about hating to do interviews but oddly enough I liked hearing him talk about how much he hated being interviewed. Once again he performed with his guitar which added a great element to Idol that has never been introduced before. Woah! This is guy is an amazing singer. It was too bad the judges didn’t like it.

Luke Menard sang a Queen song, which mind as well of been a show boat performance. At least he’s nice to look at. I felt like I was watching an episode of “The Wiggles” without the dancing around. Pretty boring!

Ahhhhh Robbie Carrico the fake rock singing, drag racing, Justin Timberlake look-a-like hunk. This performance did get me “Hot Blooded” either way. I think at this point he probably wants to kill the next person who questions his authenticicy of being “rock” but even if he wanted to sing rock music, he will need a better song selection. I would like to hear him sing a song where he just belts it out and rocks it out like there is no tomorrow.

Then there’s Spongebob Gaypants Danny Noreiga. He sang The Carpenters. I love this guy, what a personality. They really should ban this song from American Idol though because everyone sings this song every season. I wanted to choke myself unconscious just for the fact that I was hearing this song again, the only thing that brought me out of my un-consciousness was Danny’s princess voice and the consistent giggling after Simon told him how much he liked him. OMG! OMG! What a cute couple they would make!

David Hernandez has great stage presence. He was giving looks to the crowd and knew just what face to make for the camera. Besides a little crack of the voice at the end that no one ever really noticed, this is my favorite performance so far.

Jason Yeager just upped his sexiness factor now that I know he plays instruments. He performed a Doobie Brother’s song and it was just OK for me. He still smiles that cheesy smile every time he performs and it kind of freaks me out but it was just OK. I thought the judges were a little too harsh on him and you could tell by the look on his face he was really hurt, which in it’s own wanted me to vote for him because I felt bad.

Chickezie finally explains the meaning and pronunciation of his name in the pre-interview performance. Chick-uzie gave a much better performance this week than last week. Very exciting! Very good voice! Very fun performance! I liked the very cleaver with the word play in the song and his personality came out in this performance.

My favorite contestant David Cook rocked the house. He got the crowd involved and moving all whilst singing and playing guitar. Bow chicka bow wow! I bet Robbie Carrico got pissed when Randy told David that he was the “real” rocker of the group. Besides the fact that it looked like he wanted to beat Simon over the head after telling him he had no charisma, which he should have after that remark, which would have been great to see. I loved it!

David Archuleta, how amazingly cute and sweet is this guy?  I hope they make this guy into a keychain so I can carry him with me. He shouldn’t be on this show, someone give this guy a record deal already. He is a freaking star!

Jorge’s Pick of the Night

  • Contestant I Would Vote For: David Archuleta
  • Sexiest Performance: David Hernandez
  • Most Enjoyable Performance: David Cook

 Worst Performance: Luke Menard
