American Idol Top 9 Results Show

Yesterday’s prediction:

The bottom 3 will be Ramiele Malubay, Brooke White, and Jason Castro.
My prediction: Ramiele Malubay

What can I say? When you’re right, you’re right. I don’t think that Kristy Lee Cook was in the bottom for any reason other than how bad she’s sucked in the past, but her last two weeks were better than Jason Castro, IMHO.

American Idol: Top 9 Week – 4/1/2008

Last night, Simon was in quite a funk and dissing everyone left and right. You could visibly see the stab to Carly Smithson’s heart as he made a rude remark about her clothing style.

I was pretty tired and didn’t take notes, so I’ll just tell you how things were.

The bottom 3 will be Ramiele Malubay, Brooke White, and Jason Castro.

The best of the night were Carly (9.2), David Cook (9.4), Michael Johns (9.6), David Archuleta (9.9), and Sayesha Mercado (10.0).

I don’t give a darn that her song was different from Whitney’s (Whip Me Houston) version. I liked it because, while the notes were different from what I expected, they were very pleasing. Given enough time, I could forget Whip Me’s version. It was HAWT!

Ramiele looked like a scared little girl who wants her mommy, and I think that’s how her performance came across. She seemed to be channeling Jason Castro’s mannerisms when Ryan came over and she answered his questions. Brooke is downright pissing me off with her agreeability and interrupting the judges with her agreements to their criticism! Shut up and listen and try to look pretty, not pitiful. Jason is just cruising… coasting, really. He needs to step it up.

My prediction: Ramiele Malubay

A World of Pain

I’m putting up a quick update from the USF library. I had my appointment with my sinus doctor, as usual, but today was not a usual visit. Today he planned an in-office surgery.

I’ve had 6 (or is it 7?) sinus surgeries under general anesthesia. The last one was about 4 years ago, but apparently my deviated septum was touching another wall of my sinus when it was healing. The result is a scar band that makes it painful, and almost impossible for the doctor to do his maintenance during my monthly visits.

Today, he snipped the scar band under local anesthesia.

Now, it hurts like heck! I’ve arrived at Vicodin Land… we’ll see how I last.

I have another 20 pages of the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to read before class, so I’m going to log off the computer and get to work.

Word for the Wise

Since I can’t really promise a “word of the day” series, I’m starting Word for the Wise when I come across interesting, educational words. I found this one in a document Friday and had to look it up. Do you know what it means without looking it up? Try.
