Okay, I am totally a major nerd, but I am LOVING this "Heartless" cover on Idol.

I feel so freaking White right now.

HOLY CRAP, PAULA ABDUL!!!

Did she REALLY just comment on Jason's "second song" that he hasn't even sung yet???!?!

And what the heck crawled up and died in her hair!

Tonight's American Idol totally sucks. Seriously. These people are the best in the country? *weeps*

I sent Jen to bed at 8:30pm because she kept snoring. Maybe I should have left her on the couch, because the snoring would have been better than this "singing."

I can't wait to see what drainbead has to say.

But I can't wait to see that hip-hop documentary on PBS at 10! Can't wait!

Just came back from breakfast at Sorella's. They're pricey but they're so, so good. I had pumpkin raisin french toast and Jen had banana peanut butter french toast. We split a side of home fries and a side of sausage. She got the better deal - mine was good but hers was way better. I know what I will order next time around. (We go there every couple of months.)

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the beach with my coworker Marti. Jen was originally not coming but then decided to come after a whole lot of drama in the morning. It wasn't very warm but we did go into the water mid-thigh and played a little Yahtzee on beach blankets. I think Jen won both times. Jen got sunburned on the backs of her knees/calves - ouch!

I got my hair cut after that and I managed to snap a couple of pictures of The Dark Overlord (vlindinhauer) which I will have to upload tomorrow or something. It was a good time and I tried to get him in trouble by his boss but I was unsuccessful. (Oops.)

We headed up north from there to go to tool_of_satan and Kristine's game night. I once again got my butt whooped at Ticket To Ride and did not win 10 Days in Europe either. Both times, I was completely and utterly blocked by bluekniggit because he is Just So Mean. But I got to at least outwit him a little bit and knock his manhood, so it all balances out. Besides, I don't have any strong desire to win, especially at Ticket To Ride because I am always dead last. CHOO CHOO. We headed out early because I just wasn't feeling the games last night, apparently. But lorac blew some kisses at me and that always makes it worth it. And we had cannoli. (I'm glad lorac is back from Japan.)

Last night, cappuccinogrl called me from the Paul Simon concert she went to, and he sang "Mrs. Robinson" into my voicemail. It was hard to make out because it kept cutting out (too loud, probably?) but I did get a "woah woah" out of the deal and some musical interludes. Yay, thanks!

I am leaving soon for Parts West so that buddhafly4224 and I can totally Nerd Out at the American Idol concert in Hahtfud. Holy crap, we are going to be the dorkiest people ever - but I will be thinking of you, drainbead! Before that I think we're going to crash a cook-out in Northampton very briefly pre-concert to party with hope_persists which should be awesome! (I will be thinking of you, jadefu, when I am in your town for a minute!)

OMGZERS IF ACE YOUNG IS THERE I WILL DIE 11!!oneone!111! Bring the sperm collection cups!

(I really just wanted to see how many lj users I could stick in one post. So let me add a few more: whirledpeas, I love you; crena, I miss you; lemur68, I keep forgetting to mail you those pants (sorry); sassywoman, I am so happy you are knocked up; and vishudda_spin, best of luck on Monday!)

Okay, so is there ANY proof, any at ALL, that Paula is not boning Elliott? I mean, come on! What was with her display when they were showing his homecoming recap??!?

She is so ridiculous. They should just do it on stage and get it over with.

I have not been as good with the eating since Easter. On Easter I, of course, ate way too much and most of it was not exactly healthy (but boy was it good). And since then, everyone has been bringing Easter treats into work, or birthday cakes, or whatever and I haven't been as good at saying no. Today there was a HUGE cake for Coworker Gina's birthday and I at least only had a tiny sliver of it, but I also had a cinnamon bun and then later had my last piece of ice box cake. I am currently binging on grapes. Mmm, grapes.

I am trying to be all positive and groovy about our TTC stuff but I admit that it's harder than it appears. I mean, this is our first try but it is already so gutwrenching, you know? Sure, we can try again next cycle, and yes, we're lucky that it's covered by insurance right now, but I really just want it to WORK. On our schedule preferably, but just work. I don't feel comfortable leaving my job (and my insurance approval) until we're knocked up or decide to stop... and I really want to leave by the fall. I'm such a planner.

At the Dar show, I got to introduce Jessica to eeka, Molly, and Jodie. It's always interesting when people I know from different places get to know each other. But it was kind of cute when they were fighting about where I would live (Western MA or Boston). They totally don't know what they're fighting about - they should be fighting about getting rid of me instead!

Seeing the pictures of Quinn, Hope and Megan's beautiful newborn daughter, are really making all of this stuff seem more real to me. Seeing old friends who I kind of look up to holding a teeny tiny newborn is kind of staggering. I mean, Hope and Megan are /parents/. MY Hope and Megan. Parents. And we want to be parents, too. That's kind of weird.

I wonder who is going to be voted off of American Idol. I hope it's Elliott because I'm not really ready for anyone else to leave yet. I don't want any girls to leave yet and I know Ace is terrible with the singing but I just adore looking at him. Yum!

My goal is to get a decent amount of sleep tonight. Will it happen? Who knows! But it's good to have goals!

Dang, I am awesome at the healthy eating today. I am the supreme Power Eater. I started the morning with "Weight Control" oatmeal (which is high fiber/protein) with bananas and a glass of soy milk. For lunch I had a salad (romaine, cukes, red peppers, tomatoes, carrots), an orange, and a container of organic applesauce. For dinner I had leftover chicken and rice with some green peas, and because I was still a little hungry I had a handful of almonds.

I win at food.

( Fertility stuff. )

Oh boy, "Queen Night" is starting on American Idol. BRING ON THE COMEDY!!

(I was wondering how long it would take to get to "Fat Bottom Girls." First song! Big fat fatty!)

Oh, American Idol, how I love thee even though my IQ drops percentage points noticeably with each passing episode. I /am/ the American Lowest Common Denominator when it comes to television, but oh, the Ace Young! The Mandisa! The Pickler!

So I've decided that I /adore/ Mandisa and Pickler, but I definitely have the hots for Ace. I mean, the full-blown hots. I want to make out with him. I think that grossed Lisa out a little bit.

Yes! Lisa (buddhafly4224) was nice enough to come to the D-O-T to watch American Idol with me, which was awesome - I felt much less loserish and more social. Besides, I never see her. So, yay! (Thanks, Lisa.)

p.s. Today I got McDonald's on the way home from the car fiasco because I was starving and didn't get to eat lunch. I feel so dirty.

Dear Ace Young,

Please donate your sperm to me ASAP. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Jude
