Dammit. I just realized what I did this morning. I let Lex get to me. All of that Luthorness last night just...
I'm wearing black and purple. Black leather boots and jacket, black top underneath the jacket, my A-line purple skirt (it's funky and retro and falls very nicely). And of course my bright red hair.
Dammit.
( You know you want to be a Luthor too. )
American Idol last night. Okay, folks? Ruben is my new favorite (especially since Frenchie is gone now *pout*). My mom made the observation that there were a lot of good people last night, about 4 or 5, and that someone deserving was going to be cut. Of course it really sucks because this was the group with all the really good ones (except Rickey comes later), so the next two groups are going to be lackluster again I'm afraid.
But how much did Ruben kick ass last night? Hee. It was so subtle. He didn't overplay the song. He also actually performed. He completely connected with the audience. As did Kimberly. While I loved Clay's song, and he definitely came in third for me, he just doesn't have the same stage presence. So of course I voted like mad for Ruben and Kimberly (and threw in a few votes for Clay, but most of the state of NC voted for him, so he's fine).
I did have a few disappointments with performances. Candice Coleman, while having a fabulous voice and a great look, has absolutely no stage presence whatsoever. Girl seemed awkward and freaked out about singing to the camera. The curly haired boy (Jacob? Josh?) was blah. The last girl completely chose the wrong song. I mean, who chooses inferior 80s Whitney Houston? That's like a death knell. And if you're going to choose a song to really "perform" for the audience, you have to have the right moves. And an outfit not befitting a dominatrix.
I did like Hadas and the cabaret girl though. Just thought there were others better.

Funny bit from a local radio show yesterday. They claimed to have an interview with Brooke Gordon, soon to be ex-wife of Jeff Gordon (otherwise known as the "Pansy Ass" of NASCAR racing). Ahem. Is it obvious I don't like Jeff Gordon? *g* Of course we don't know for sure whether it was Brooke on the radio or not, could be a stunt.
Anyway, the divorce is rather nasty, as he was cheating on her. In this "interview" Brooke was recounting the last time they had talked to each other.
"I called him a scum sucking bastard. He called me a money grubbing tramp. It really shocked the people at church because they had never heard him talk like that before."
It was much funnier to hear, because there was a big pause right before she said the part about the church. So you weren't expecting that they had a run-in there.
