I promise I'll stop with the lame play on the title soon. But before the results are revealed tomorrow, I'm going to take a stab at who the Top 10 will be - provided their partners don't get in their way. I'm just going down the line in the order they performed tonight, it doesn't really reflect what I think of them.
Hok, Danny, Anya, Sara, Jesus, Pasha, Jessi, Lauren, Kameron, Lacey
It's a toss-up for me between Kameron/Neil and Lacey/Faina...I'm going to go with Kameron and Lacey. I like Neil and Faina a lot, but after tonight Faina may have some trouble down the road and I bet Benji's fanbase will carry over onto Lacey, and if Neil ends up in the bottom the judges may give him some flack about his somewhat upper-stiffness.
What do you guys think?

So I Think I Can Watch!
Yes, it's been exactly two months since I've posted, yadda yadda ya. So just in case you missed it:
-It's Raz-B, aka DeMario Thornton, aka one of my husband's, birthday today. He's 22. :)
-Chris Richardson did not win American Idol. :'(
-Neither did Melinda Doolittle. :(
-Jordin Sparks did. >:O
In light of these revelations, I'm seriously contemplating moving to Canada based on these facts.
In the mean time, there's So You Think You Can Dance. Which is quickly becoming my favorite reality tv show. So much so that I took NOTES tonight. Here's my mini recap and grades (score of 0-10 in chemistry, performance, likability and synchronization), based on tonight's 2 hour show (the one where America starts voting! Yay democracy!)
1. Jamie & Hok
Now unfortunately I missed about the first 15 minutes of the show, so their performance was the only one I missed entirely. However, from the recap of the dancing at the end, it appears I didn't miss much. From what I saw in the auditioning stages, Jamie (i before m?) and Hok can each dance - they obviously wouldn't be here if they couldn't. I just felt like something was lacking with them - in their chemistry, in their performances...we'll see how they do next week, seeing as how I don't think they're going home.
Chemistry: 9, Performance: 8, Likability: 9, Synchronization: 8
Total: 34 (out of 40)
2. Danny & Anya
If my memory serves me correctly (which maybe it doesn't), I got this cocky vibe off of Danny that made me think I was going to hate him. After seeing tonight's performance, I've done a complete 180. These two were AMAZING! And they were really extremely humble/gracious after getting all the praise they got, and I'm pretty sure it was genuine. I would've given them all 10s had I seen the entire performance - besides, I can't start them out too high, right?
Chemistry: 10, Performance: 10, Likability: 9 (I'm still not sure if he's cocky!), Synchronization: 9
Total: 38
3. Kameron & Lacey
Oy. Contemporary always throws me off, because I'm not sure if it's "supposed to be" as awkward as it usually comes across. And Kameron & Lacey's performance didn't really make me love the style - I don't think anyone can outdo Travis and Alison's contemporary towards the end of last season (the one with the bench? I STILL get chills thinking about it! TRAVIS AND ALISON WERE ROBBED!) I want to give them slightly higher marks, but I won't due to my confusion. They get the highest mark in chemistry, because it's quite obvious they work well together.
Chemistry: 10, Performance: 9, Likability: 9, Synchronization: 8 (something about those leaps and drags felt off, right?)
Total: 36
4. Dominic & Sabre
I love "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", the Donna Summer song these two disco'd to, and probably for all the wrong reasons. It's such a gay song. Like...really gay. It makes me happy. :) And I think that's partially why I enjoyed their performance - it was kinda gay. But gay in a good way, and it made me happy. I don't agree with Dan (is that his name?) entirely, but I do think something about it kept it more in the "OK" realm than the "awesome" realm.
FYI - Dominic's ass? AMAZING. Enough is not enough in that department. :)
Chemistry: 9, Performance: 9, Likability: 8 (I brought it down a notch because Dominic was really hamming it up at the end of the show, which I guess is what they're told to do but still - it was offputting. And could he have BEEN any bitchier in answering Nigel about how long he's dance with a partner?), Synchronization: 9
Total: 35
5. Ricky & Ashlee
I feel bad for Ricky & Ashlee. The choreographer was all "this is a very sexy dance style" but the dance didn't scream that to me at all. And it wasn't because of them, or at least not entirely. It was such an upbeat song, but the moves didn't seem to go with it. That being said, they still seemed a little out of their element and Ashlee being taller than Ricky didn't really help them out. I hope they don't go tomorrow, because I like them.
Chemistry: 8 (Ricky seems to be a little more invested than Ashlee), Performance: 8, Likability: 9, Synchronization: 7
Total: 32
6. Sara & Jesus
To further add to Ricky & Ashlee's pain (but an added bonus for Sara & Jesus), the following act was the best one of the night. Hands down (Well...almost. Danny & Anya are a RIDICULOUSLYCLOSE second). And it wasn't just the choreography - Wade Robson is insanely talented, blah blah blah - but they just definitely gave it their all, and did so while seemingly out of their element. Anyway, it was one of those performances that sticks with you even after you're watching other people dance, so that's also good. On a weird side note however: maybe it's because I'm still getting used to them, but I could NOT remember their names for the rest of the broadcast until the recap at the end. I kept calling him Jose and thinking Sara's name started with an A. Does that mean they're somewhat forgettable?
Chemistry: 10 (they seem to have a lot of fun together), Performance: 10 (!), Likability: 10, Synchronization: 9 (a liiiiittle off)
Total: 39
7. Pasha & Jessi
Pasha might be my new husband. Something about the Russian ballroom dancers (Dmitri, anyone?!) must work for me on a subliminal level. I will agree with Dan (?) on this one though: I thought I'd be bored out of my mind watching this, and I was actually very engaged. They didn't have much to do it seems though, in showing off their talent, so either they lucked out tonight or they're just THAT good. (I'm hoping it's the latter.)
Chemistry: 10 (who WOULDN'T love Pasha?!), Performance: 9, Likability: 10, Synchronization: 10
Total: 39
8. Faina & Cedric
Faina annoyed the shit out of me in auditions. I felt for her tonight though, because, as the judges kinda hinted at in the auditions, Cedric is GOING to kinda mess up his partner. They both seemed to hit the choreography in sync, but of course, Cedric being able to perform in his strong style, outshone Faina. I didn't like Nigel's "by the numbers" comment on Faina's dancing - hip-hop IS kinda by the numbers, and if Cedric wasn't so "fluid" I'm sure they would've said the same thing. I commend Faina for holding it down out of her element, but I wouldn't be too bothered if these two went home tomorrow.
Chemistry: 8, Performance: 9, Likability: 7, Synchronization: 9
Total: 33
9. Lauren & Neil
Based on their rehearsal footage alone, I think I love Lauren & Neil. They seem to be hilarious, which can be extremely refreshing in a competition like this. Their performance was cute, but kinda read to me as "we SO obviously don't dance salsa!" I think their chemistry is fine - if my background knowledge is correct, Neil has a girlfriend, so I wouldn't be too caught up on him not really paying attention to Lauren. And if you're watching this show to see how much it looks like the dancers want to sex each other down, then you probably need a life. Or some help.
Chemistry: 9, Performance: 10 (I thought it was one of the better ones of the night), Likability: 10, Synchronization: 9
Total: 38
10. Shauna & Jimmy
Before the commercial break I was a little worried that this would be a terrible pairing. Watching them dance though, it's obvious I was wrong. This was a great number to end the show on - upbeat, fun, great song and great dancing! Anyone who knows me in terms of theatre will tell you that The Wiz is the most fun musical I've done EVER. So maybe I'm a little biased, but I thought it was really good. I think the style may have helped them out this week though, because I still get a kind of odd couple vibe from them. Can you see these two doing a convincing Argentinian waltz together?
And I disagree with Nigel about Shauna's dress.
Chemistry: 10 (this could very easily change next week), Performance: 10, Likability: 9, Synchronization: 10
Total: 39
So let's look at my end of the show scoring!
1st (3-way tie): Sara/Jesus, Pasha/Jessi, Shauna/Jimmy [39]
4th (tie): Danny/Anya, Lauren/Neil [38]
6th: Kameron & Lacey [36]
7th: Dominic & Sabre [35]
8th: Jamie & Hok [34]
9th: Faina & Cedric [33]
10th: Ricky & Ashlee [32]
That's just going by numbers though. If I had to rank them based on performances alone, I'd go with this.
1st: Sara & Jesus
2nd: Danny & Anya
3rd: Pasha & Jessi
4th: Shauna & Jimmy
5th: Lauren & Neil
6th: Kameron & Lacey
7th: Dominic & Sabre
8th: Faina & Cedric
9th: Jamie & Hok
10th: Ricky & Ashlee
Ricky and Ashlee are still in last, but again, I don't think that's their fault. I do however think it's pretty safe to say they'll be in the bottom tomorrow, but hopefully not going home. I also think that Faina & Cedric and/or Dominic & Sabre could be joining them. The third will be a toss-up, but I'm going to stick with 2 of the 3 I just mentioned being in the bottom tomorrow. We'll have to see how it turns out! I'll post pictures next time.
See you tomorrow night!

You Can Deal With Chris...
I'm a little annoyed at myself for being pretty involved in American Idol this year. I mean, in a way, it's kind of hard not to be seeing as how it's the #1 show in the country. And I guess "involved" is a pretty vague term, because I usually just pick a guy I think is hot and a girl I think is cute and go along with it. However, I have a tendency to pick the ones who are actually talented so there's reason to back them. I will admit, in the girls department, I haven't always been spot on (Jasmine Trias, any hardcore Idol fans?). However, I've yet to be wrong with the boys, and this year is no exception.
My cause for this year, as well as my future husband, is the scorchingly gorgeous Christopher Michael Richardson, born February 19, 1984. (Gotta love the stalkers over at Wikipedia.) The boy is beautiful. Have you seen the pictures? YOU HAVEN'T?! Don't worry, you'll agree with me in a moment.
If you read a bunch of reviews on the show, Chris tends to polarize people who watch - you either love him and sing his praises endlessly, or loathe him and use every chance possible to call him a nasally Justin Timberlake-wannabe. Is that seriously the only thing you can come up with? I mean, last time I checked, there are but so many types of singing voices, not to mention that almost everyone sounds the same when they sing (do you ever hear a Jamaican or British accent in some of today's songs?), so of course being a tenor "like Justin" the comparisons will be made. But I'm sorry if I think that Chris is a legitimately better singer. I mean, for one thing, he doesn't rely on the use of falsetto for an entire song. (He also doesn't use his next single to prove the mantra: "Don't cheat. Otherwise you'll end up in a fiery car crash. And presumably die.") He rarely ever relies on falsetto, he just happens to have a (FULL) higher pitched voice. And yet all of the Chris-bashers (an alarming amount of them female - angry lesbians much?) use these as their only point in his criticisms. He's nasal and he sounds like Justin Timberlake. You're whiny and you sound like a dumb bitch. Moving on.
Another blatantly obvious reason I support Mr. Richardson. You can deal with this:
...or you can deal with that:
You can deal with this:
...or you can deal with that:
Yes, Chris. I don't know what that is either. Now somebody tell me this man is not worthy of siring some sexy little babies with you. (Or me. Preferably me.)
So. In addition to his hottitude, fans seem to be very involved in Chris' personal life. From the speculation on the "girlfriend" (or "girlfriend: HAAAAAAAY!" ?) to his involvement with other AI contestants and M-list celebrities, none of the rumors are juicier or more fun to fantasize about than Cake.
Cake is the term coined for the relationship between Chris and fellow competitor/"friend" Blake Lewis. (Cake, in case you didn't catch on, being the combination of Chris and Blake. And although I'm all for the idea of Chris being single (so he can marry me! duh!), I actually don't mind their perfectly natural yet deliciously homoerotic friendship. In addition to being hotties, it's giving gay guys around the world more reason to love them.
Talented, boyfriend rumors, HOT like Phoenix in August...Chris definitely gets an A++ in my book. Now all I have to do is get him to marry me. Kyle-Steven Richardson...has a nice ring, doesn't it?
I second that hottie's opinion. ;)

Ice On My Toes And On My Fingers And I'm A Taurus Aries!
If you haven't caught on yet, my birthday is Friday. And in the US, most of the time Fridays means movie releases, so everyone can go waste their money on the weekend.
The following are the movies that are coming out on my birthday (more than any other date this month...yay me):
Now. A lot of these movies look bad. Like, REALLY FUCKING BAD. That doesn't mean I won't be looking forward to a few of them though. Perfect Stranger? Sign me up! (As long as I don't have to pay for it.) I also want to see Disturbia and possibly Lonely Hearts, as they seem to be the only ones on this list close enough to being legitimately good. I will, however, be seeing the movie being made for my favorite TV show, EVER.
Ok, maybe not EVER. That title goes to Invader ZIM.
ZIM was the story of a misanthropic alien (aren't they all?) who also happened to be a megalomaniac and an idiot. His mission was to take over the Earth. (again, aren't they all?) The problem was, he sucked at it. Badly. His idiot robot (which fanboys of the show to stupid to see it for all of it's brilliance peg as being the only reason the show was funny, even though it WASN'T the only reason by a long shot) didn't help matters either. Despite his seemingly lacking intelligence, I am obviously the human real-life equivalent of ZIM. The picture above shows what ZIM looked like on a regular basis. And this is what he looks like after his disguise:
(I kinda think he looks like me. :D)
The best part about it was, only one (well two I suppose, if you count Dib's sister) person was aware that ZIM was an alien, despite it being painfully obvious. With a generally misanthropic undertone, the endless exploitation of stupid people, bouts of randomness (which I live for), the twisted art and the even darker sense of humor, ZIM was the best show ever made, EVER. Unfortunately it aired on Nickelodeon and because it was a happy-go-lucky sponge who lived in fucking luau headgear, it was cancelled. Cartoon Network's [adult swim] tried to obtain the rights to air it, but Nickelodeon, probably seeing what [adult swim] did for Family Guy, didn't sell them the rights. In a way this irks me because all the potential for more brilliance was squandered, but I suppose it also maintains the integrity of the show by leaving it be.
Just a few more pics from the show:
If it's brilliance escapes you, I fear you have the brain worms. Hideous human pig smelly.
Anyway, with ZIM gone (but now on DVD! I have #1 and 3. Someone should get me #2. Do I hear birthday wish list?!), I moved on to Aqua Teen Hungerforce.
I can't really offer an intelligent explanation about the show, because really it can't be explained. And as I believe it says on their official site, if you have to ask what it's about, it's probably not a show for you. Anyway, the movie comes out on - surprise! - my birthday. I plan to go see it, even if half of Boston won't. (See what I'm talking about here.)
Will it be a crappy movie? Maybe. But as a true fan (and someone who's not really looking forward to my birthday), I plan to revel in it's possible crappiness.
Anyone care to join me?
Don't lie. Because if you do, they'll find you. And kick your ass. Check, check it.

With a generally misanthropic undertone, the endless exploitation of stupid people, bouts of randomness (which I live for), the twisted art and the even darker sense of humor, ZIM was the best show ever made, EVER. Unfortunately it aired on Nickelodeon and because it was a happy-go-lucky sponge who lived in fucking luau headgear, it was cancelled. Cartoon Network's [adult swim] tried to obtain the rights to air it, but Nickelodeon, probably seeing what [adult swim] did for Family Guy, didn't sell them the rights. In a way this irks me because all the potential for more brilliance was squandered, but I suppose it also maintains the integrity of the show by leaving it be.
Just a few more pics from the show:
If it's brilliance escapes you, I fear you have the brain worms. Hideous human pig smelly.
Anyway, with ZIM gone (but now on DVD! I have #1 and 3. Someone should get me #2. Do I hear birthday wish list?!), I moved on to Aqua Teen Hungerforce.
I can't really offer an intelligent explanation about the show, because really it can't be explained. And as I believe it says on their official site, if you have to ask what it's about, it's probably not a show for you. Anyway, the movie comes out on - surprise! - my birthday. I plan to go see it, even if half of Boston won't. (See what I'm talking about here.)
Will it be a crappy movie? Maybe. But as a true fan (and someone who's not really looking forward to my birthday), I plan to revel in it's possible crappiness.
Anyone care to join me?
Don't lie. Because if you do, they'll find you. And kick your ass. Check, check it.
