American Idol was a hot mess on two levels tonight. First, what a bunch of utter BS that only 2 judges spoke after each contestant. And it was either Randy/Kara or Paula/Simon. THAT was the only way they could figure out how to get the show in under an hour? Are you fucking kidding me? Forty-two minutes of show outside of commercials MINUS (2

I taped it so I could see my Quentin since I don't get Inglorious Basterds until August and I desperately need my Q fix. Mmm. Can't wait to see his stupid face. Am not really looking forward to the performances (The Rose -- REALLY?!) but I'll def watch your boy :)

Yep, it was a suckfest for the most part. OH well, next week should be worse...I hear it's DISCO NIGHT!

I've never been able to get into AI for an entire season. I think the last one I watched after the try-outs was the season with Jennifer Hudson in...2004, I think? That said, having Quintin as a mentor is fucking nuts! I love him and his weirdness and his affinity for black women but he shouldn't be dispensing musical advice.

I'm still holding out hope that Green Day will do a "secret" show in LA before the month is over. I would love to be there for the Oakland/SF shows but money's tight these days. I'll probably have to start asking the 'rents for money soon. Would you be coming to a LA show if it happens? You can totally be my +1. ;-)

BTW, I went on an interview yesterday for a Pharmacy Desk Auditor position in Culver City. *crosses fingers*

Good luck with the job interview!!!!!

This is the first time I've really been invested in a contestant, although I've watched it casually before.

I wouldn't mind going to an LA show for sure!

I will be no doubt rambling in my own lj later but yeah, yawn-inducing song choices and meh performances and wtf Quentin Tarantino all adds up to a very disappointing AI tonight. And I'm totally with you on the judging thing - assinine idea, man. And Paula just needs to shut the fuck up, full stop.

Looking forward to your ramblings, as usual. :-)

Good luck getting tickets for the show tomorrow, hopefully most people haven't caught on yet. I have an appointment at the same time it's rumored to be happening, so it looks like I'm gonna be 0 for 4 on secret shows. Anyway, while cleaning my apartment I realized that I still have the Anatomy textbook you loaned me last year. While I know you really don't want it back right now since it might be carrying some of whatever bug I'm having issues with, if you'd like I can still return it at some future point when you're in SF.

[revid]

Yeah, I'll get the book from you at some point soon.

I'm fence sitting about tonight's show. I hate the fact that it's tix at the door only. :-(

Finally got to see your Adam perform! Let me tell you, thank god he was on third because if I'd had to watch any more of that I'd have gone Elvis all over the tv and shot it. Not that I have a gun but, you know, the thought was there.

*LOVED* Adam's performance. Very theatrical but his voice is extraordinary and the theatrics are no more so than any good lead vocalist of any good rock band. He reminded me a bit of Freddie Mercury in that respect.

So, there's a chance I'll be taping it in future so that I can see him.

Nice choice in pbf, btw.

Adam reminds me of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant. Hard to beat that for someone of my age.

I wish you had broadband so I could show you some of his other performances...every one is different. The most fun is wondering "what he's going to do this week?"
