Anybody out there watching Idol? We have been following it here on My Beautiful Chaos.
As my friends so accurately perceived weeks ago…it is the war of the David’s.
Yeah…so what? Archie had a better night last night. But he is so OMG irritating.
Any thoughts out there while we are waiting for the results?

Alrighty, David A. is going to be your next American Idol. It’s not right, but that’s the way it’s going to go down. Should be David C., but, if we are talking about the way things are supposed to be, Michael Johns should still be gracing the stage and Jason should have been gone a [...]

Urgggggg. I must remember this a family friendly blog. My children read this. So, no swearing about the C-R-A-P that is American Idol. I am with Kirsten, surprised…incredibly surprised.
So, Savannah Red was right on about the Andrew Lloyd Webber bit. Love him, but for Idol…ummm, no. He thought they would follow up with Tiny Tim. [...]

So, I am watching the vote off show before I even have the chance to watch my TiVoed episode from last night. Crap! Well, at any rate, I can tell you that missing Idol was due to a big ole project I promise to reveal very soon. Oooo – mysterious…
But – I have gone [...]

Boo Hiss…I feel like boycotting a Michael Johnsless Idol. Especially if the “pink cell phone” crowd is still there in numbers. Ugh…but, there is still David Cook and Brooke…
David A. – yawn…have I mentioned how perplexed I am that I dislike a kid that sings so well? I do…I really do. Would turn the radio [...]

Woo Hoo! How about I am a huge Dolly Parton fan. And it is Dolly Parton night on your American Idol.
Brooke White – One of my favorite Idols doing one of my favorite Dolly songs. I would buy her album today. Who cares what the judges say?
David Cook – Wow! Michael Johns better bring it [...]

So, I left my computer at the office last night. While it messed up the American Idol blogging, I realized it is probably something I should do more often. Kinda relaxing and liberating when you can’t get online even if you wanted to…
But, I watched Idol, sans the laptop, and I was impressed. The night [...]

Last week, David Hernandez got the boot. Neither Savannah Red nor myself called that one. Eric wimped out and wouldn’t pick Maybe he’ll change his mind this week and play along. Maybe you will too.
Amanda Overmyer – First up is one of my favorites. The thing I like about her is that she [...]

So, Jim Carey is in the audience has showed up as a cracked out version of “Horton Hears a Who.” Interesting.
I do love Idol…but I think they really drag these result shows out. But, I will watch every minute of it anyway.
Carly is…safe
Michael is…safe
Jason is….safe
Syesha is…in the bottom three
Chikezie is…safe (miss another for me)
David Cook [...]

I LOVE American Idol. I don’t care about “guilty pleasure,” reality bites, brain numbing traits of TV. I have been wanting to blog it as a regular thing for a while. But, until now, it was just on too often, there were too many people and basically filled with disposable material. Don’t even tell me [...]

The 2008 Sugar Bowl was played on New Years Day. My Dawgs were there. So were my Hawaii Warriors. It was a tough game day at Dad’s house.
Get the story on this picture at Joyful Jubilant Learning
While the house was divided, the game was not. And while we are Dawgs through [...]

Liz has done it again! How that brain of her’s comes up with these things is beyond me. But I am so glad it does and I am especially glad I get to play.
Ok, so the game is simple.
Liz wrote a story with bunches of blanks.

I had the awesome luck some time ago to win the new CD by Christine Kane. This was very exciting to me because I figured if her music was half as good as her blog, I knew I was in for a treat.
She did not disappoint.
I knew when I popped the CDs in, (it’s a two disc [...]
