Randomness All Around

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
