Just Can't Get Enough...

hiddenmuseWell, I finally got around to writing a story - just like I kept saying I was going to do! Of course, my story-writing time coincided with the premier of American Idol, so I got a couple of paragraphs hashed out, then got sucked into the tragicomic freak show that is American Idol.
My intention was to continue writing when the commercials came on - but instead, I sat through the commercials and didn't write. It was like one side of my brain was telling me: "Keep writing!", while the other side of my brain tried to overrule with: "No! Must. Watch. American. Idol!" So my brains turned to sludge and I had moments where I cringed and wanted to plug my ears, running around the living room "lalala-ing" in a futile attempt to drown out the tone deaf caterwaulers.
As for that near-psycho Enrique Iglesias wannabe ... oy. That was just wrong. Just because you look like someone, doesn't mean that you inherit their talent. Or, in his case, a brain. (What part of "NO" did he NOT understand?)
But Coffey (from Austin, TX) - he was cool. And his baby girl, Savannah ... such a little doll! :)
Yet, I'm going to be plopped in front of the TV watching again tomorrow night. Can't get enough of the show, because I'm pathetic and need a hobby besides work.
Geekout Moment: One of the commercials was for a new Fox show - Oliver Beene - had a bit of the Me First And The Gimme Gimmes version of "Wild World". That was cool.
