Randomness All Around

[strangevisitor7]

In Birmingham, after a bit of a delay. It wasn't fun getting in so late last night and I really appreciate all the airport sympathy. Traveling can be so frustrating sometimes.

I watched American idol and now I'm wondering why they even bothered to have them sing again because the ones they put through were obviously decided before they ever took the stage. I hate the new format and when I think that David Cook most likely would not have made it through, let alone win if he'd been subjected to this format, it makes me crazy.

I seriously do not like the twichy blond chick, Megan Joy Corkrey. She did not sing well and they pretty much said they put her through because she's quirky (I think its because they didn't have a blond yet). You could tell from their comments they were so happy Jasmine sang well so they could put her through and the same goes for Matt. Heck I don't think those two even deserved a second chance based on their wild card performances but that's not the point, is it. It's all about controlling the top 12 - Damn I sound like one of those conspiracy nut jobs.

You know what I'm so disappointed with the competition so far I don't even have the energy for a significant rant. *sighs*

So I need something to make me giggle and Ith supplied it. It turns out that with a little coding you can turn anyones user name into something else.

For example I, strangevisitor7 can really become strangevisitor7

Then egorstandish becomes egorstandish and conjured_1 becomes conjured_1.

Thanks for showing how to do this ithildyn; otherwise known as ithildyn.

Wow - that is so cool! Out of curiosity, based on my own journal and what I've told you, what would you call me?

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

LOL based on you query from yesterday (and my apologies to Alabamans everywhere)

[tygermama.livejournal.com]

I can't decide between tygermama or tygermama

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

How about tygermama

[tygermama.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's the one, it's awesome!

:D

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

strangevisitor7 is so happy that tygermama approves of her new moniker and bows before the glory of her socks

So I was satisfying my Survivor and CSI habit tonight with my old roomie and didn't watch Idol- does this mean Tatiana didn't make it?

Thank God. If she made the top 12, AI and I would be DONE.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

No she did not and she was talking with this weird accent and being more of a drama Queen. Guess she hoped they'd put her through if she gave them what they wanted. Thanks goodness no!

Now the top 13 yes 13 - will have to prove to me this isn't the most boring season ever

[asoneill.livejournal.com]

Well, at least she's not there. I'm not really behind anybody so far (except maybe Alexis) so I'll give it another week or two and see if I get drawn in. Thanks!

[conjured-1.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm conjured_1! \0/!

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes you are \0/

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

I am now layla_aaron

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

That;s what I would have called you :D

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

I put something similar on Ith's post. :) I'm watching an older Bollywood movie right now. I am blown away by the subtle slash elements this movie has. It's considered one of the all-time great male friend adventure movies, but they sure do touch each other A LOT! :D

I seem to be the only one who liked Matt's Coldplay performance! I'm glad he made it through. I can't wait to see him perform with his keyboard. And thank God that Tatiana is gone! But knowing the show, they'll probably find some way to bring her back in a later show. gag

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

The Wild card format makes me feel like I don't know most of these people yet - so I'm still waiting for the show to engage me. As for Tatiana - she be in th finale for some gag or something. They really like her for some reason. *shakes head*

[pezgirl7.livejournal.com]

Yea, I know what you mean. I was just talking to my mom, and she asked who my fav was, and I couldn't really say yet. My parents are rooting for Danny because they're both from Milwaukee. He's good, but I need to hear him sing more current songs.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

I agree I like Danny but the others are still a mystery

[tpena19.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is so cool, I hope I remember how to do it! Remember I'm tpena19

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

strangevisitor7 agrees it is silly fun
