sailorhathorWee, we got snow. So very little that I could barely make an army of snowants. Just a slushy mess, really. Snow is alot more fun when you don't have to go out in it and do anything serious. I wish it would just warm up some instead.
Many people who call Grey Dawg are irritating. I haven't said that in a few days, so I just thought I would remind you all.
"When will your buses be able to go out again?"
"When the snow clears up a bit, sir."
"When will that be?"
"I'm not sure, let me just set up a conference call with God and we'll find out."
I mean, really, how are we supposed to know that? This is an act of God we're talking about, and I'm not the freakin' Weather Report Woman.
I've seriously had several people ask me this week what the weather report was in the city in which they live. Where did people get the idea that Grey Dawg has this massive, technologically advanced supercenter somewhere in Heaven that contains all the knowledge of the universe? We don't even have a MAP. Look out the window and you know more than I do!
If I seem overly irritated tonight it's because AOL is a slow piece of dog dooky lately that won't stop freezing up!!!!! Everything loads ten times slower and takes far longer to type than it should because I have to sit here and wait for aol to unfreeze. It's doing it right now. I love the sound it makes when a computer breaks through a window and smashes on the slush-covered pavement below, don't you?
I am nearly speechless when it comes to "American Idol." So much freakin' badness. So many delusional people. So many contestants that made me want to say, "Is this a joke? This has to be a joke..." How can someone suck that bad and not know it? And so many ugly people who were just plain hard to look at. I mean, I know I'm fat, but if I lost weight, I don't think I'd be a bad-looking person. Not every American Idol was a beauty queen. But they are not looking for someone with a face that would make children scream and run away. That one chick who called herself "Hotness" had one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I mean, WOO, brown bagging it. She was literally hard to look at. As always, the lack of talent is proportional to the amount of indignant attitude. Attitude meter goes up as the talent goes down. Scary.
My favorite Horrible Singer so far has been geeky dude who did "Unchained Melody." Cracked me up so hard. After about a minute of that, I was yelling at the tv, "Stop him! Please!" It was like watching a train wreck, and you're fascinated and curious and horrified, and then they start bringing out some twisted bodies, and it becomes too much for you, but they just. Won't. Stop.
I love it when someone is so, so bad that the judges just completely lose it and all start cracking up at once. Randy puts his paper over his eyes, Paula turns backward in her chair, and Simon laughs right in your face - never a good sign. That one guy who did "Bohemian Rhapsody" made Randy snort with laughter. Not good, dude.
That was kinda sad, that one lady who came there after her husband had told her she shouldn't audition. Too bad for her he was right. He wasn't being an unsupportive asshole, she just couldn't sing. Sounds harsh, but I see where the guy was coming from.
I really liked the smiley brother and sister from India. Nice voices, and very cute in a perky way.
Did you see that interview Paula did that is stirring up all the controversy? Very sad. I don't know what she was on, but that was obviously not the result of exhaustion. That was drugs. She was high as a kite.
I really do not understand the level of delusion a person has to work up to to think they can sing when they are that awful. It's like I told Moosie in IM the other night; when I was younger, I knew I was going to be a rock star. Didn't matter that I couldn't sing a note in tune. It was just going to happen for me because I said so. Just like these gits on AI. There's a big difference between them and me, though.
I was NINE.
That dream eventually died for me. When I was ELEVEN.
To be 27 and still delusional about that? SAD.
