* Last night I attended the Top3 results show for Canadian Idol.  Lots of fun and a fair amount of squee was had!!  It was so nice to see everyone (fans I've met in the past) again.  Kalan sounded wonderful and it was nice to see all 4 judges give him a standing ovation after his performance ( Read more... )

Dear f-list, I have created an InsaneJournal account so I won't lose contact with those that are moving.  Same name but without that pesky underscore.  I'm not planning on moving (especially now with a permanent account) as I'm just a lurker skirting along the edges of fandom so, for now, I'm thinking my IJ account would be used solely to ( Read more... )

Remember this post I made a while back about knowing someone who tried out for Canadian Idol?

Well, Julie, his mom & my friend, gave me the impression that Derek didn't get a gold ticket.  LYING LIAR WHO LIES!!!  OK, so the family was contractually bound not to say anything but now I'm pissed that I didn't really watch the last few episodes.  There ( Read more... )

Derek is the son of Julie, an ex-co-worker/friend of mine.  He is 17 years old and has been playing in a band, Mail Order Bride (I'm pretty sure they have a Myspace) for a few years now.

I received an e-mail from Julie this afternoon telling me how Derek went to the Toronto auditions and has made it to the ( Read more... )

What a difference 24 hour makes.  Blue skies, above freezing weather and everything is melting.  I'm watching the news right now and the leading story?  Chunks of ice from yesterday's snowstorm & freezing rain are falling from the CN Tower and because of high winds, the chunks are travelling pretty far.  They showed a parked car that was hit by one ( Read more... )

MuchMusic has started to air this series and I watched the first ep out of curiousity.  OMG what a completely f-ed up family.  You know it's bad when Nick comes out as the sane one.  Aaron is a brat who has this disturbing tendency to date Nick's ex-girlfriends, ewwwwwww.  The 3 sisters are completely useless in all senses of the word.  The way ( Read more... )

Concert #2 -- Melissa O'Neil and Rex Goudie, March 16, 2006, Massey Hall

Lots of white baseball caps.  "I love you, Rex!" screams.  "Rex's #1 Newfie fan" shirts on lots of bodies.  Newfoundland flags flying.

Hey, isn't this a Melissa O'Neil headlining tour?

The fangirls were out in full force for the Newfie wonder but they also screamed for Melissa ( ( Read more... )

Random things I wanted to get down before I forget...
