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.

( spoiler thoughts )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.


You can play too. Just replace the '[' with '<' and fill in the person's username and what you want to call them
[lj user="username" title="example"]

Found this via misskatieleigh and I just had to post it because I find it hilarious every time I watch it and makes me love David Cook even more!



Also this article about the fact that David has 15 singles in the Billboard Hot 100. That is the most by an artist in the chart's history.

Have I mentioned that I want his album now!

I must have voted about 500 times - hell i've been hitting redial for three hours straight so maybe more - Yep I'm obsessed with Cookie. I just turned the phone over to my mom because my fingers are dead. And now that the west coast lines are open we're not getting through - which is good!

Cookie was terrific. I have no idea why the judges suddenly turned on him. Simon even gave the night to Archie - what's up with that. Really pissed that they would crown DA like that. Archie is as boring as they come.

Cook even made the horrid coronation ballad sound good! And I give him credit for not repeating an easy song but sang something that obviously meant a lot to him - he had tears in his eyes folks

The good news is DialIdol.com has Cook up by 12 points and they have correctly predicted the winner since they started 4 years ago. Dial Idol view it here


Vote for David Cook! 1-866-idols -01,03,05. There's still time!

Can you hear me squeeing like a crazed fan girl? Plus, I just got my new SFX magazine and there will be an interview with Jared in the next issue. Will do my best between now and then to figure out how to use my scanner so I can post that.

So what am I watching these days besides to much TV in general? The the short list.
( Terminator:TSCC - renewed. Yay! )


( Eli Stone still on the renewel bubble )


( NCIS: What's wrong with Abby? )

( American Idol: The Music of the Night )

As always, I would love to know which shows are worthy of your attention.

Also Idol fans - who do you think is leaving?

American Idol: My boy, David Cook, rocked the house. Really the best performance of the night. I want to buy his album now! I actually do not like "Billie Jean" - never been an MJ fan but Dave Cook's version - I must have that on my iPod.


So happy that the TV season is starting up again. But it is still a month until SPN returns. *sighs*

So I'll just settle for these cute brothers who fight evil crime for now. I really have write a sequel to my Numb3rs fic. I love this promo for Numb3rs snagged from shallanelprin and had to share.


Anybody out there know if Eli Stone is being renewed? I can't take another show I love biting the dust. Haven't I paid enough with CBS' boneheaded move canceling Jericho. Must get more letters written.
