The first sign you've been watching WAY too much Olympics coverage...

That little internal "thinking" voice in your head loses it's generic sound and suddenly sounds more and more like Bob Costas.

Okay folks, it's time for the American Idol concert recap! Woohoo!

First off...dude, hanging with [livejournal.com profile] dragonsinger was so extremely fun. I love hanging with cool fannish folks. *G* And we had fun with our squeeage and silliness and general all-around over the top fannish nature (I'll admit, there was squeeing on my part at inappropriate times).

It was also really fun (because [livejournal.com profile] dragonsinger missed it with her back being turned) at the restaurant when the three guys in the booth behind us kept turning around trying to figure out what they hell was up with us. Hee. This is what happens when fannish types talk very loudly (that being me) about fannish things. Our geek was showing.

Hee!

So the quick rundown by performer, before the big rundown.

1. Amy Adams - Now you see her, now you don't.
2. Camile Velasco - Shock of the world...the child can sing! You know, if random sounds counts as singing.
3. Jon Peter Lewis - Proof that old man pants are never cool, but running through the audience actually kinda is.
4. Jennifer Hudson - Bouncy! That's the best way to describe her boobs. Which, um, kind of distracted me whenever she was singing.
5. John Stevens - Be glad for my ovaries that he only say My Funny Valentine once, and then followed it up with the hysterical Pelvic Thrust of Doom.
6. George Huff - Most underrated performer on the show, and honestly? Outperformed everyone.
7. Latoya London - Generic Lowes' Foods white bread couldn't be blander.
8. Jasmine Trias - Why couldn't there be a dancing week added to this show, because this child kicks butt!
9. Diana Degarmo - Proof that the clothing designers should be shot. Also known as The Chick Who Came Before Fantasia.
10. Fantasia Barrino - Able to work it and sing stupendously, but sadly doesn't know the meaning of a good bra.

NASCAR utilized the Superhero themed cars this weekend, and in a suprising non-surprise, the winner at Michigan was...

The Flash. *snort*

In a weird twist though, Batman came in second. Superman came in in the 6th spot, and somewhere behind him was Martian Manhunter, and the Green Lantern farther back, and Justice League Nation even farther back, and sadly, with Wonder Woman ending the race in 24th position.

My assumptions are thus.

The Flash was obviously the favorite to win. He's the Flash after all.

Batman obviously did something special to the Batmobile (after all, prior to being the Batmobile, it as the Viagra car).

Superman is dang fast, but Flash has the extra speed, and Bats had been up to something with technological advancements that Supes isn't privy to.

I have no clue why Martian Manhunter came in where he did. I don't even have a clue who he is. The only thing that makes sense is that he was "played" by Matt Kenseth.

Green Lantern must have been feeling poorly.

Too many drivers in the Justice League Nation car, not enough actualy working parts.

And sadly, Wonder Woman came last because it was dang hard to get the Boys comfortable in the costume. And NASCAR wouldn't let Ricky Rudd race the invisible jet (because it's hard to measure spoiler height if you can't see it).

30 minutes to go in the day and all hell breaks lose.

My immediate boss is out today. So the phones? Suddenly go nuts. And I have no help on them.

I may have PMS.

The copier eats papers in a horrendous fashion when I need to make 4 copies of a 50 page document.

The woman who could print out that document for me (because of course it's in a "special" program) is having her time monopolized by the head honcho who wants to leave on time.

I keep getting asked really stupid questions.

And to top it all off, my sister is being a royal brat again and has short-circuited. Got in a fight with the hubby, so she hasn't been home since Saturday afternoon. She is not mature. She refuses to answer the phone for any family. She ALWAYS runs when she gets in a fight and never confronts and deals.

I'm very tempted to send flowers to the brother-in-law, or food, because my sister is an ass and doesn't deserve him, and he needs to know that in an odd twist, we actually all support him, not her (she's going to be the one to screw up this marriage, not him).
