The Squish!

NASCAR

My thoughts on yesterday's race:

1. YAY THE SQUISH! Go Vickers!

2. I am an unapologetic Junior fan (meaning I don't apologize for loving the boy, flaws and all). I want to beat the Dega fans silly. On one hand, I'd like to go as a Junior fan for the fun of all the times he takes the lead and the fans go nuts. On the other, for god's sake, any time he's close to contending for the win and doesn't, those fans act like butts. There are lots of sane Junior fans out there. We should form a club and refuse to act like the ones that throw things, scream "BULLSHIT" en masse and threaten to harm another driver. I can understand being pissed and not liking Vickers or Johnson, but throwing and screaming and threats? Juvenile and stupid.

3. Jimmie and Chad need to get over themselves, and now. Jimmie's on my shit list (and Chad would be doing good to get only spit in the face for the vitriol he spewed - jeez Louise, he's worse than Jeff Gordon when it comes to bad mouthing Vickers). Sticker will NOT be going on my car anytime in the near future. Racing accidents happen. That same situation happened in a Busch race many races back, except the perpetrator was Junior and the punted one was Carl Edwards. Carl overreacted as well (and who knows, Jimmie may get over it and apologize to Vickers for being an ass when Vickers was contrite). It's a regretable way to win, but it's still a win.

4. Vickers said "Hell yeah!" Hee.

5. I want to cuddle McMurray.

6. Gilliland got the pole! Woohoo!

Dreamgirls

Pardon my massive squee for a moment, but J.Hud brings the fierce.

Jennifer Hudson singing "And I Am Telling You".

I've been waiting for the moment we'd hear her take on the song, just to see how it would compare to Jennifer Holiday. Visual performance will tell all, but based on audio, this is the closest anyone has ever come to Jennifer Holiday.
