Tonight the send two people packing. My money is on Jorge and Jasmine (since Megan had VFTW help). But before we begin with the 55 minutes worth of filler, I want to tell you about a new TV show called Castle . It just started. The first show was after Dancing With The Stars and it was great! I do h...

Updated with some photos! I don't think it's unique to San Francisco, because I think this is (or could be) true for anyone who's found a place that makes them feel like they can and should and have to be themselves. I don't doubt that for some people, that place is where they grew up. Maybe for som...

It's time for Idol to really start now. Normally, I already have a favorite but not this year. Most of the kids we've only seen once. Hard to become a fan with only 1 1/2 minutes of singing. Anywho, on with the show! Ryan start off standing on top of the "Big Stage" and then something strange happen...

(Note: Giveaway still going on; see post below this one!) My ex-husband's parents lived in Greenwich, Connecticut. About ten years ago, I remember a young couple buying a newly constructed house next door to them (and paying well over a million dollars for it, which isn't the point but is maybe wort...

Yesterday, I was bored with packing and being alone all day, so I began looking for something to do. I noticed on a friend's "wall" that they were headed over to Laurel Tavern for dinner. Laurel Tavern is a new spot in my neighborhood that has become very popular, very quickly. I had b...

How do I start this one? Back before Ish, when I was with TheBoy (who morphed into "T", who we should probably just call "Tony" at this point), my collection of Adult Products grew to notable proportions. This is because Tony worked for an online adult toy company and there were many unused, unopene...

It begins as normal with Ryan overstating the importance of everything. The eight will perform and then the judges pick who moves on. The kids tonight are: Jesse Langseth Matt Giraud Megan Joy Corkey Von Smith Jasmine Murray Ricky Braddy Tatiana Del Toro Anoop Desai Alright!! Anoop gets the pimp spo...

Is it just me or does the new format make it seem like we are still in the audition phase? Well, whatever is going on, it is taking FOREVER! I want the old format back. One thing that I am looking forward to is the group number tonight with Scott. Is that wrong? Simon should just shave his head beca...

Thanks to those who commented on this photo. Your observations were intriguing to read. The photo was taken by Jodie Kunnari several weeks ago on her trip to Iquique (northern Chile). More specifically, the photo is of Alto Hospicio (suburb of Iquique). -------------------------------- Here's what s...

Tonight is the last of the semi-finals. Three of the performers tonight will make it into the top 12 the rest have a wild card long shot. I'm late at starting this blog tonight for lots of reasons but the main one is that I'm not really feeling it. If things go the way they have been, there will be ...
