American Idol

You know, my embarrassment factor makes it really hard to not mute the TV during American Idol when someone is sucking horribly.

( American Idol: St. Louis )

Also watched The West Wing. All I have to say is...I should never watch shows having to do with politics, especially when it's even erringly disparaging my NASCAR. And by erringly disparaging, I know we're supposed to think they were being snooty about the NASCAR. Guess what. It still grated.

On the other hand, I'm still trying to figure out what random reasoning was used for picking the three "hottie" drivers. Jeff Gordon I get (because he was one of the original hotties, before some of the hair incidents). Jamie McMurray I get (because he was appearing in the episode and frankly is the prettiest one on the circuit). But no Junior (although not surprising...I love my boy, but he's not "pretty")? Instead...Casey Mears? *giggle* I think this was part of the whole Days of our Lives thing. NBC's entertainment division actually had a clue who Casey was based on that.

Lost theory

I haven't seen last night's Lost yet, but I've been forming a theory for a while. (And don't worry about spoiling me...Lost is a show that I'm interested in, but not totally invested in, so knowing things before I see the ep doesn't upset me or anything.)

Request

Because I amuse myself some days.

I have an icon request. Animated icon request. Your muse may direct you. But this is what happens when I discuss theories. I always go to Anya's "I have a theory. It must be bunnies."

And suddenly...

"I have a theory. It must be polar bears."

Hey, vastly amusing to me. I would love anyone who made me one like that.

ETA: Two new icons in one day! *squee*

Because my PC doesn't let me see the img src location (don't ask, pain in the butt machine), I'll point you to the Battlestar Gallactica one in the comments, and the Jack O'Neill "Bite Me" icon currently being used. *squee*

What I get for feeling soft

Walked down the street at lunch (a brave undertaking cause it's COLD).

As I was about to enter the building that Subway is in, a woman stopped me. She was obviously poor. Was trying to get money for kerosene to heat her home. I told her the honest truth, that I didn't have any cash on me. Hey, check cards are wonderful things.

Standing in line in Subway, I went back and forth. On one hand, you're always told not to give out money to folks just standing around asking. On the other, it has been shockingly cold the last few days. I waivered, and had sort of decided that this one time I'd stop at an ATM if she was still outside nearby.

I walked down the street a bit before I saw her up ahead. She turned around, saw me and promptly yelled, "Hey Bitch! Got any money now?"

I'll save that good deed for someone else, thank you very much.

Meme snagged from unanon

Scan my interest list and pick out the one that seems the most odd to you.

I'll explain it.

Then you post this in your journal so other people can ask you about your interests.

Mine seem kind of straight forward, but I recognize that what seems like an innocuous description to me might in fact be weird to others.
