Elvis - but not really

So last week's big save means tomorrow, 2 unfortunates bid adieu. Without hearing any singing, my early predictions are Tim & Andrew. I almost went to bed and didn't watch after realizing I'd have to voluntarily watch something with Adam Lambert. Then, seeing Adam flirt with Ryan, I'm closer to the bedroom door. HOW am I going to get through the next 90 minutes with Lambert? At least it's Elvis night*, and, just for you, I shall type through the pain and let you all know my thoughts. You're welcome ;).

Crystal - not my favourite Bowersox performance. She sang it well and it was a good, solid showing - just, not my bag is all.
-Andrew - what the hell was that?
-Tim - if he soon doesn't leave the stage I'm going to boycott this whole show altogether. I can't even believe the encouragement from the judges.
-Lee - YUM.
-Aaron - I still hate this little twerp and I felt it painful to sit through, but I suppose the old ladies and the young girls will eat that up like chocolate. Blech.
-Siobhan -I totally wanted Casey to do this one. Oh joy, the return of the scream. Of course, with the Lambert mentor how could we go two weeks in a row without it? It was all very Broadway, and therefore, MEH to me (YAY Simon for your excellent commentary on this one!).

{I'm getting a sore throat I think; that is making me cranky. My arm, wrist, elbow, etc. hurts. I am pretty much thinking nothing is going to satisfy me tonight.}

Mike - ya know, I'm getting a little tired of his 'runs'. He sounds the same in every song -proof positive that he won't make it til the end. He's likely safe for this week though.
Katie - Again, not my bag, but she did alright.
Casey - Ok did anyone else giggle when Adam coached him on climaxing, or am I really just a 12 year old boy inside? He rocked it. Solid.

{Thank God that's all over - BEDTIME}

Bottom 3: Andrew, Tim & Siobhan
Going home: In light of the popularity of votefortheworst, and the RIDICULOUS positivity from the judges, I would have to say Tim is safe for ANOTHER effing week....so, with that said, I believe Mr. Garcia best get his bags packed. I almost forgot my 2nd choice for ciao time...ok, so Andrew, and Siobhan. Both. Yeah.

*Typed BEFORE they all slaughtered poor Elvis' songs.

Canada's Hero

30 years ago, I remember my Dad sitting me down in front of the TV telling me to pay attention. He said this was going to be a moment in history and one day I'd want to tell my own kids about what I'd remembered. 30 years ago today, a man embarked upon a journey. A journey of hope. A journey for help. Unfortunately, he did not make it to the end of his journey on his own terms, but he'll forever be remembered for his strength, conviction, humility and grace. Terry Fox, you were an amazing human being and a consummate hero for all mankind. Thank you for your spirit. May we continue to strive toward a cure for such a horrendous disease - in your honour.

TGIF

I do hope to get back to regular blogging soon. I've made some changes to my work station at work in hopes it gets the pain/numbness under control.

Until then -

I know you're all happy that it's Friday. I wish you all a relaxing, safe, enjoyable weekend! xo

Beating out 9

So I'm still in agony with my stupid wrist/elbow/shoulder thing and I'm sure that typing on the laptop is NOT helping. I owe you my AI post though peeps - so I'm going to try to get through ;). I'm making it short & sweet.

The Beatles and our Top 9:
-Aaron - SUCKED and he's still using too much tinted Clearasil
-Katie - safe from the bottom 3 this time
-Andrew - meh. Not sure he should've picked a fast song.
-Mike - I didn't love it.
-Crystal - FANTAAAAAAAASTIC.
-Tim - *YAWN* ....this is a singing competition, isn't it? Having him come after Crystal is laughable.
-Casey -Oh Casey you are so pretty; and that was marvelous!
-Siobhan - So Simon's commentary last week must have scared her into being submissive? For the first time in forever, I actually liked her performance.
-Lee- after last week's performance and tonight's, it's plain to see he's finally coming out of his shell - and I simply ADORE him. He's one of my favs for sure.

Bottom: Aaron, Andrew and Tim.
Going home: TIM

For Corey

Thinking of the Michael song...

I'm here...

I'm still alive - sorry for the lack of posting. My wrist/nerve issues are making it difficult to use a computer for work, let alone for fun. I'm pretty much tingly, numb and sore from my pinky finger up to my shoulder. Awesome. So for the rest of the weekend I'm going to try to avoid mousing and typing as much as I can. Good thing the forecast is SPECTACULAR! I'll take pics and have a catch up post soon, you can be sure.

Have a safe, and happy Easter y'all.
