So maybe "American Idol" ISN'T the craziest television singing show ever.
The most popular episodes of "American Idol" are the ones at the beginning of the season, where open auditions are held in several American cities. Some of the people who audition are, to say the least, really bad. They're usually the ones who are shown telling the camera/ Ryan Seacrest that they're great singers, that everyone they know says they' ( Read more... ) -
Oh, the humanity!
Marge, I ripped my pants! The only pants that understand my complex hiney!
Homer Simpson, Episode HABF05, "My Fair Laddy"
Today, I learned that there will be a shortage of Lululemon yoga pants. The company will be recalling some of their black luon pants because they were too sheer when worn. I am sure that Lecherman is quite disappointed; now ( Read more... ) -

It's a good thing that it's overcast today. If it were sunny, I'd be outside.
I see vacuuming in my future (after my yoga mat dries off). Maybe some dusting, too.
I'm going to continue this exercise (to some extent) in the following ( Read more... ) -

Day 17: Looking at Living Room Lighting Apartment Therapy January Cure | Apartment Therapy.
My current living room lighting set-up: a floor lamp (in use) and a couple of Ott-Lite desk lamps (not in use; I do use one for knitting, though). I hate the floor lamp, but it was a cheap buy from IKEA. I'd like to replace it, and add a couple of table lamps ( Read more... ) -

Actually, this task is relatively easy. I have a filing cabinet for my financial records, and an accordion file to drop the documents I need to do my income tax. In fact, I just got off my lazy butt and filed my RRSP contribution slips.
The challenge will be ( Read more... ) -
Television: teacher, mother, secret lover....
This guy from Deadspin was writing about my second favourite new show, Elementary. (The Neighbors is my favourite - those aliens are just so goofy. And the Halloween-ween thing sealed it.) He was writing about how a baseball game that Holmes and Watson were watching on the show was implausible. That was because instead of showing a game, the ( Read more... ) -

Actually, I already do a lot of the suggestions in the article, however crudely. So, I think that I will tidy the hall table and make a list of things to purchase. I would really like a proper mat to protect my carpet - right now, I'm using these cotton things from ( Read more... ) -

Vote for the Worst Will be Shutting Down After American Idol Season 12 | Vote for the Worst.
This is truly sad. For the last few seasons of "American Idol," Vote for the Worst was the only thing that made the show fun. (Come to think of it, it was the only thing that made "Canadian Idol" fun.) The Universe of Sanjaya was brilliant, as was Jaydee ( Read more... ) -
Well, I didn't quite accomplish the weekend's goals
I cleaned out the kitchen cabinets that have food in them but left the other ones more or less untouched. Unfortunately, cleaning the kitchen out is going to take more than one weekend. And I'm going to have to redo the cabinets that have food in them on the Fambly Day long weekend, because I want to line the shelves but don't have anything to line ( Read more... )
