Day 109 - Idol, White Wedding, and Sleep

Let's start with my fodder from Idol. Last night's performances of Carol King tunes, which is ALL the rage with hipsters these days, was interesting. I have to wonder if this theme was chosen to keep the two remaining females in the competition as it really doesn't make much sense no matter how you look at it. There were 6 solos and 3 duets and I have to say at this point - not really a fan of any of the duets last night. But one contestant stood out from the rest of the pack, again. James Durbin. He totally slayed "Will You Still Love me?" and was by far the best of the night. So... predictions on who I think will be in what position after the votes are tallied:

Top 3
1. James - that was outstanding. Bar none the best.
2. Casey - It wasn't as good as past performances, but not much competition tonight
3. Scotty - All things being equal, parts were really good and it was nice to see him not rely on the LOWs in his voice.

Bottom 3
4. Lauren - She sang it safe and predictable. I'm still confused as to how one's voice cracking qualifies one as a good singer.
5. Haley - So-So performance.
6. Jacob - Has got to go. And whoever dressed him like a spastic golfer had to have been drunk.

In other news, tomorrow there will be a new princess in England. While many really don't care, I'm looking forward to seeing this little event. I don't know that I will get up at 0300, but I do want to see bits and pieces. It's a cool day for Great Britain and I hope they enjoy the show.

Because of the wedding, I will experience a lack of sleep. I don't know about you, but my functionality of this week is already waning and I need a nap even as I write this. Somehow, there is a great force in the universe that has put up a blockade against my efforts to snooze, but hopefully, I will go to bed a wee bit early and get a few good hours in. I hope.
More later...

Day 107 - Part Deux

The Hayes side of the family hasn't been known for it's fabulous health for a long time. I try to keep the complaining down to a minimum, but today I have to say I feel crummy. Massive upset tummy for the past two days, pain in my tummy and I ended up with a migraine at work this afternoon that took 3, count them, three Excedrine migraines to flush out. Not even Billy Joel could help that one... in fact I want to blame Billy Joel and using massive amounts of brain power to try to remember the lyrics to that stupid song. However, I was saved by a friend of mine who posted the entire song on my Facebook page. God bless you, BJ!

We are having a family dinner at the in-laws tonight. I love them and want to see them. I do not however wish to consume much in the way of food. I have a feeling my body will reject any and all attempts to get some vital nutrition in it. So far today I have had a large cup of chocolate silk, an egg with a little bit of wellll drained sausage, some rice, an orange and a 6 pack of Oreos to eat when I took the migraine meds. Not overly healthy, eh? (Long drawn out sigh here.) Hopefully dinner will be light.

"Deadliest Catch" is on tonight. Woot!!! I love that show. I know I have mentioned it before, but I'm sure that after I watch it, I will consider my aches and pains a little more trivial. I can't imagine what it's REALLY like up on the Bering Sea, but based on what I have seen... those men are truly men of steel.

Time to leave for dinner... Hugs!

Day 107 - Billy Joel

I've been stuck on Billy Joel's "We Didn't Star the Fire" all day today much to the disdain of those around me. I didn't even realize I was humming it out loud until an officer came by and started feeding me the lyrics. Now I'm trying to remember the entire song. I have a couple of verses down, but I don't want to cheat and look it up on the net. Hate it when the memory goes... but I'm sure my brain is filled with much more important stuff like where in the heck I left my car keys. Again.
