house of pain and alarm clocks
claire is like crying because her milk is drying up. she was the one who pumps her milk so when she goes home to her baby, they can still breast feed. kind of icky, i think.
claire, whitney and lauren are all ganging up on dominique, for a multitude of reasons. they all hate her. lauren is crazy. and apparently she has found friends with whitney and claire, and they form their own little gang. it's weird...
anyways.... they get in their FabCab (lol) and go to some place. turns out tyra was their driver! lol i think she's on some sort of drugs, cuz my sister said she's just as crazy on the Tyra Show as she is on antm. she's like crazy! trya tries to teach them all how to walk, in a dance type studio with mirrors. and she sprains her ankle!! oh no! help tyra! just kidding, she was scaring them and "posing with pain". so they all have to do it.
someone had hurt hands... who was it... they were really bad.
they find out later, via tyra mail, that it was a secret challenge, and there is a winner. the winner::: anya. she was good, i think she had shoulder blades. i don't know how you hurt those, but whatever. she gets a photo shoot with nigel barker! yay! i love him. anya is naked on a bed. how original. her hair is really blonde! i don't like how she talks. she's from like honolulu or somewhere in hawaii. ugh it annoys me...
when she tells them about it, we hear this big thing from aimee, who was mormon, so she doesn't like to be naked. good thing you didn't win then. i really like her new hair. i love it, actually. we see a lot of her in this episode, and non of stacy ann.or katazyna or.... lots of them.
photo shoot:: the girls are each depicting a different style of music, okay, i like music.
claire had country, which i don't like, and she didn't do very good. it was awkward kinda, she was too high fashion and couture for the country
they didn't tell us what katazyna was, but from the outfit i knew. she was alternative, indie, my buddy. that's my music! later they called it "emo". whatever, i still like it. i thought she did great, and i liked her hair. they made her usually long dark hair short, and put some blonde like on top. tyra liked it too, because she said that next week someone will cut her air. i hope they do, i liked it.
aimee was boring being like aretha franklin or somthing
whitney was grunge, and she almost scared me, but she was good.
fatima fatima fatima. i'm sick of her. she had rock, and she just kept posing and being strange with a guitar.
dominique had folk music. lol. i thought she did okay, she deffinately looked peacefuller.
stacy ann had "house music". what is house music!? like "..." i can't even immitate it. she has like 6 poses, and they were always the same. boring.
here's the Judges order - Whitney, Katarzyna, Fatima, Lauren, Anya, Dominique, Stacy Ann
Bottom 2 - Aimee & Claire
i was worried cuz i love claire
but aimee is out, so claire is saved for another week.
i should have seen it coming, all that camera time aimee got.
predictable
PEELING THE ONION

i love this book. i read it this summer, and it started weird, but i just had to read it agian, so ya know it was good.
anna is in a car accident after the big karate tournament, which she's won. she's with hayden, her new boyfriend. or.. almost boyfriend? i don't know... eventually they are "going out" but she can't, because she broke her neck. but she didn't die.
so all of her is messed up, her ankles, thumb, neck, head.
the book is basically about her recovery, and almost not recovery.
then there's luke. i won't say anything.
here's my book quote:::
omg i just found out wendy orr wrote nim's island, which is being a movie soon. lol. see, she is famous. i thought she was just a one-hit-wonder. but no...
so read this book. now! lol...

good enough for a mondkey to eat
quickfire challenge
they are brought to the Green City Market. they have to make an entree, using just 5 ingredients. the only ones that don't count are.. salt, sugar, pepper, and oil. okay...
so everyone is running around because they only have a half hour. but spike just sits there, listening to the music, taking his time. then he says something that amazes me. the quickfires really don't matter. they can't send you home because you fail! i think that's genius, and also cheating the system. i like it.
mark was spazy, being all mean and Australian. he like opened up some poor lady's cart to see the meat or something while she was with another top chef. and she was like :0. then he went to this one place and forgot his bag because he was in such a hurry. oops. oh well, he deserved it.
the guest judge is some ugly guy with ugly hair and crazy sideburns. he's like a... molecular something. just like Richard. they use crazy tools and fire and... yeah.
Richard is using eucalyptus, like the pandas. apparently it's not poisonous in really small quantities! well, then, let's embue our chicken!! is that the right word? it reminds me of elisa and her spiritual spit marking... but his chicken turned out oily and icky.
andrew the tard... he used balsamic, as a sixth ingredient. dumb. he's like "i can only focus on so many things at once, i'm kinda scatterbrained like that." no, really?
spike got the wrong meat, so instead of creating a new thing, like a steak sandwich, he kept his old menu, with the crappy meat. not smart.
wylie picks the best and the worst
bottom: erik, spike, richard
top: valerie, mark, ryan
winner: mark, he gets immunity
elimination challenge
they all draw knives, and there are weird animals on them. there are three in a group, so there are... five groups. they have to cater a staff party at the zoo. i don't know which one, but it's big. and... the menu has to be based off of what their animal eats. soo...
bear:: dale, spike, nikki
- venison something (i think it was okay)
- salmon (probably good)
- stuffed mushrooms (looked like turds. they weren't going to serve them, cuz they weren't hot either, but nikki did. nobody was tasting these before they served it)
- little honeycomb and cheese things (good)
- shrimp and crab salad (pretty okay, didn't suck)
- zuccini (i have no idea how they felt about this.. i don't think it sucked though)
- squid civiche (everybody liked that)
- jello-ish mint glacier, for cleansing the pallet (crazy cool)
- black olive blinies. (made early, not good, everyone hated them)
- banana bread (good!)
- lamb something (i think that was good...)
- and some sort of salad thing on chips (she ended up not using the chips, but her salad was soggy because she dressed it too early...)
- chicken on tostada chips (good)
- lamb meatballs (good)
- something with anchovies (everyone LOVED it, mark made them "anchovie believers")
- bison (where do you buy bison?)
- salad, goat cheese foam (ew, but of course, they have richard)
- prime rib, horse raddish foam (huh?)
- chicken somthing
everything was pretty good, nothing sucked for lion
top two:: vultures and penguins. liked the squid, glacier, anchovies. winner:: andrew. he was the person behind the squid and the glacier, so it's deserved.
bottom two:: gorilla and bear. poop mushrooms, crab (lol crap) salad, blinis packing their knives:: valerie, because of her blinis
good, i'm done, tell me how you like the layout of it, because i'm still a bit confused...

top 11
Amanda Overmyer - Back in the USSR
i don't get this song and i don't get her. i'm really sick of her cuz she always does the same thing. yucky.
Kristy Lee Cook - You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
i am UBER sick of her! mann. she's boring too. i can hardly stand to watch her or amanda anymore.
David Archuleta - The Long & Winding Road
better than last week, that's for sure. kind of a boring song for him.... i hope he's losing fans, cuz he's really not that great.
Michael Johns - A Day in the Life
hate him too. he's not very good.
Brooke White - Here Comes the Sun
talk about awkward. manno. she didn't have any instruments with her, and she was totally lost. she's a musician, not a performer. she did these dumb dance type things... she was just weird. i almost felt bad for her, because she knew she sucked too.
David Cook - Daytripper
he is crazy. omg he had this voice box thing, and it makes these crazy noises. i don't know how it works.... he like throws his own little concert whenever he's on stage. fantastic. although simon thought he was a little smug, cuz he did soo well last week. i can understand that...
Carly Smithson - Blackbird
she has a voice! but maybe not her best ever performance...
Jason Castro - Michelle
talk about awkward again. he's like brooke, he's a musician, not a performer. david cook is both, but they aren't. he didnt' have his guitar, he walked around, very strange... and the song was half french, so we didn't know what he was saying.
Syesha Mercado - Yesterday
she's strange. don't really remember her. i know she had weird hair though.
Chikeze Eze - I've Just Seen a Face
another one of his crazy performances. harmonica. it started in his slow, kinda country thing, then BAM! harmonica! then some quick tardness. it was weird. but very chikeze.
Ramiele Malubay - I Should Have Known Better
i've forgotten her already. not that great. not as bad as the week before, but she's still missing something, and i think it's getting worse.
results show
i don't really watch the group songs anymore, but i know it was an interesting one. ramiele's mic wasn't on, so she was singing with brooke, but not really. and, the camera guy spazed and almost killed someone.
they do this new dumb thing where the people come out from the back one at a time for their results, then sit on the nice couch or the crap stools. here goes nothing::
brooke:: top ten
david a::: top ten
michael johns:: top ten (unfortunately)
carly:: bottom three. what!%^$#@! jeeez.
break for ford camercial. i always love these. they're funny actors.
david cook:: top ten
jason:: top ten
ramiele: top ten
kristy lee: bottom three (did we have any doubt?)
viewer calls! i find these rediculous, silly, and great.
does simon want to do a "kiss scene" sequel with paula? (season 2, fake kissing scene) apparently he wants to. and then something about paula being a good kisser. EW!
last thing ramiele downlaoded for her ipod: R Kelly, i'm a flirt. seriously? she looks embarassed.
mantage of kelly pickler! why? cuz she's singing for us!!! yay! she's kind of annoying, but really funny. and apparently really famous. she sings to simon. gag me.
idol gives back. i'm sick of them mentioning it. elliot yamin and fantasia went to africa, and they named a baby after elliot. he was crying. then he went outside and he's like "i'm a godfather!" good for you, kid! but i don't really know if he was, i thought he just used his name... whatever.
back to results finally
syesha: top ten
chikeze:: top ten (ah)
amanda:: bottom three.
this week again krisy lee is in the bottom TWO, with amanda. guess who's out? amanda! i hate how kristy lee just keeps floating on by. yuck. but i'm glad amanda is gone, i was tired of her. she sings again..
lizzy out!
the 3 C's
they go and meet benny ninja. he's a freak too. but apparently everybody loves him. they walk up and there's all these kinda gangsta lookin people striking poses.
the three c's are:
commercial (smile pretty)
catalog (show the garment)
couture (pose freaky)
then the girls are supposed to have a pose-off, with two teams
Team A - Dominique, Anya, Aimee, Lauren & Fatima.
Team B - Stacy Ann, Katarzyna, Claire, Whitney & Marvita.
marvita sucks, but team b wins. then there is one ultimate winner. all of the girls get all this free crap, but claire, the winner, gets a trip to... somewhere in asia or the middle east. i don't know.
back at the house::: whitney set up a phone time schedual. which is not a bad idea. but dominique missed her turn cuz she's dumb and didn't know about it and no one is in charge of dominique(!) so they didn't tell her. so she creates this huge argument with whitney, and ends up calling her racist. which really hits whitney below the belt.
so she has the BEST line probably in ANTM history...
she's all "don't. call. me. racist." and then... 'my best friend is BLACK!'
omg i still laugh every time.
i really liked this week's photo shoot. it was just a head shot, and they had people dripping paint on them. plus they had like these colorful clearish plastic things like on their eyes or their head. hard to explain. kind of like my read seran wrap.
marvita sucked. she used to be good, right? she does these 2 poses, holding her necklace up. it was retarded.
fatima doesn't shave her armpits. cuz she's from africa. learn to be american. sorry if your country doesn't, but now you're in america.
someone stole lauren's shoes, and tyra's like "it was me!" i think tyra's like on crack or something.
tyra CANNOT say katarzyna's name! i know how to say it. tyra and all the judges are dumb.
order:::
Stacy Ann, Dominique, Claire, Anya, Lauren, Aimee, Katarzyna, Fatima.
Bottom 2 - Whitney & Marvita
i don't remember why whitney's picture was bad. marvita's was terrible. the judges didn't believe that either of them really tried or something like that.
oh well> out::: marvita. good i think.
oh yeah, covergirl of the week is claire (again) she's like heather last year. claire is one of my favorites. along with... katarzyna, aimee, and kinda whitney. i HATE dominique.

cooking in chi-town!


apparently, jen and zoi, are a couple! everyone meets at this pizza place in chicago. which i guess is perfect.... and they're sitting with each other. then they have an "announcement". they 'know' each other back in SanFran and they are a couple. they just wanted to get it out. good for them. did they know that they both were going to top chef, or was it like, "um.. honey, i'm goin for business for like 3-30 days..." and the other was like "oh, me too.... well, bye." that would be wierd... i think it's gonna be harder for them because they are a couple, but at least they already have a friend!














so i don't really know how i'm going to do this... um...
quickfire
make a deep dish pizza. some people didn't know how. i think nikki was the one who had like 75% crust, and no sauce cuz she used mushrooms or something. it looked okay. some were good, some were not.
they went to the guest judge's house with their pizzas. i don't know who it was... but apparently it was their house, so they got to stay there. there were 8 winners and 8 losers of the quickfire challenge.
elimination challenge
the 8 winners from last night got to pick one of the losers to have a cook-off with. but the loser got to pick which dish. there was a soufle. obviously, that went last, for poor erik and... someone.
winner
stephanie. she made "duck a'la orange" or something crazy like that. i'm pretty sure that's what she made.
packing their knives
nimma. good ridance. she was boring. and she made some SALTY shrimp.

PEEPS


but this post is about Peeps. i got it on Easter, yesterday, and i finished page 304 this morning. now, either i have absolutely NO life, or i just really loved this book. probably both. but i didn't spend my whole day reading, otherwise i would have finished it yesterday. no, i went places. but it was fabulous.
so Cal, this kid from Texas, moves to New York, as a college freshman, and finds himself all alone at a gay bar. i have no idea why... but he... he gets this 'disease' from this mystery girl. he was drunk. he doesn't know her last name.
but it's not your regular STD. no, this kid is a freakin vampire now, but they call them peeps. but he's not crazy, like most of them, he's sane, just a 'carrier'. but apparently, the 'parasite' wants to spread like crazy, and the only way it gets that is through kissing... or the other thing. so call made his first girlfriend into a crazy canibalistic vampire, with real icky finger nails.
instead of cal being crazy himself though, carriers are really... really... "horny" as the book would put it. like all the time. seriously, probably the most used word in this book, besides "peep".
so, yes, this book is a bit dirty. but not graphic. in that way... they do fight a giant worm thing... the we is Cal and Lace, short for Lacey. i would have left it as Lacey, but whatever. she says dude wayy too much. but he hasn't even touched a girl for like 6 months, so he doesn't make more peeps. now, this is a teenage boy, plus all those crazy extra peep "things"... here's a tidbit from the last chapter, not counting epilogue (like my favorite part of all books, the epilogue)

top 12
big new fancy stage. new opening that i don't like very much...
Theme - Lennon - McCartney Songbook
we get their life stories this week, no one cares, so i'm not telling you about it. just the songs.
Syesha Mercado - Got To Get You Into My Life
i think she's good, but she's not the best. and i don't like her. she bores me. i know she has a personality, but she... doesn't.
Chikeze Eze - She's a Woman
this kid is crazy. but i finally realized that yes... he's a pretty good singer. but i still hate him for taking away danny! so it started slow, kinda country, then he like EXPLODED, and he was jumpin all over that stage. it was like... i can't even describe it. then ryan was crazy, jumping around, rubbin chikeze's head. which was weird. ryan has gotten very weird this season. and he and simon keep exchanging little "convos" that are clearly supposed to be about very dirty things...
Ramiele Malubay - In My Life
she dedicated this to all her besties who left, mainly danny
she's got a great voice, she's really good, but the judges were right, she was boring.
Jason Castro - If I Fell
i still love him... but i might be waining. is that the word? he's not a powerhouse, and i love him for that, but jeez, he's gotta do something. he's good, but too shy and he makes too many faces. simon compares it to a student singing in their room at midnight. then ryan... (oi vey) says something like "i suggest when it gets dark, you get out of that student's room". duh. then simon goes "ryan, carefull" like there's some dirty scandal with ryan and a student after hours that's just dieing to get out. i hope so, that'd be good. but simon was creapy.
Carly Smithson - Come Together
apparently she used to sing this all the time in her bar. is that a risk? no. she's a real powerhouse, though, and she's real good. it was a big song, but she didn't have to scream it, cuz she can sing.
David Cook - Eleanor Rigby
i love this song. probably one of my fave beatles' songs. he's crazy good. rockin out. simon said he could win, if it stays a talent competition, and not a popularity contest. probably true. he still looks kind of like a scumbag. he needs to shower more and shave.
Brooke White - Let It Be
omg she started crying. she puts soo much heart into it. maybe too much... and she has to play the piano barefoot. but she's really good, i thought.
David Hernandez - I Saw Her Standing There
he's pitchy, gross, not TERRIBLE, but not at all good. yuck.
Amanda Overmyer - You Can't Do That
yuck again. and why does she always wear those ugly scarves? her voice drives me crazy. not in a good way either. she's hard to understand with all that screaming, and she doesn't look like she likes it up there.
Michael Johns - Across the Universe
i'm tired of him, he's not good anymore. but i like that song. but i was soo bored, i couldn't even focus on him.
Kristy Lee Cook - Eight Days a Week
she made this song country, cuz simon said that would be good for her. i don't think he meant that drastic. it was like crazy country. i can't even watch her any more, i just skip her on the dvr. soo bad.
David Archuleta - We Can Work It Out
HE FORGOT THE WORDS!!!! he should have been kicked off right there, but no, people love him! why!??! he's retarded! jesus! this is the top 12!!! you cannot go around forgetting the lyrics. and his breathing is still terribly bad.
results show
jim carey is in the audience, dressed like horton. i wanna see that movie!
and guess what! they're doing lenon-mccartney again next week! and i'm like NOOO!
group song: fine whatever.
they're doing results in groups
carly, michael, jason, syesha. stand.
syesha: bottom three. she sings. which i thought was weird...
we see the 12 at the horton premier. and jason yells "i love horton!" lol funny.
next group:
chikeze, amanda, david cook, kristy lee cook
bottom three: kristy. good. sing.
then they take viewer calls! i think this is stupid, time filling, but i kinda like it. which judge would jason be? we still don't really know that... how can this tard who tried out 6 times get on: you won't. why don't simon and ryan just fight it out: ryan suggests mud. do americans or brits have more talent: american singers, but british judges. haha good one, not really.
now katherine mcphee comes with some old guy and sings, fine.
jim the elephant goes to sit with the contestants. stop wasting time!
last four:
david a, brooke, david h, ramiele
bottom three: david h. song.
syesha is safe. david or kristy. i think kristy was like "it's me". but....
david, you're out. they both were just like ":0"
at least he didn't have to sing when he was all sad... i don't lie ruben's new song for the good byes... yikes.
my hair
the fire is on! antm style.
they get the tyra mail about their challenge. can i just say, i hate the new tyra mail thing. it's digital, so the words move slowly across the bottom. so all the girls read it slowly together! i liked it before when one girl would read it, then they could trick the others by saying something else. that was good.
they go to a fire house! yay! not really, i don't care. they had to change their clothes real fast, like the firefighters, into these skimpy "fire fighting" suits. complete with hats and these shoes that would not be practical in a burning building. fatima didn't get her shoes on in time, she was the only one. loser.then they had to walk, for fire fighters. good day for them, i bet. fatima is a bad walker. but lauren takes the cake for being the worst. manno. she's bad. amis skipped down the runway. trying to be "fun". she's a freak i think.
at home.... aimee wants to take a shower, but the other girls can't like go to the bathroom while she's in there, cuz she doesn't like people to see her naked. when you are a model, people see you naked. that's just how it is. make me a supermodel: they've been naked like every week. and no one complains then. then wittney jumps in and starts "helping" aimee. she is in the middle of every scrape in this house. she puts herself there. kind of annoying, but also nice.
then they go do a fashion show. for jaslene! she's annoying, i don't like how she talks. anne was there too, the 17 editor. whatevs. they had to change fast. they should have had more than one change, like a real show, but no. who's the genius behind that? wittney's boob popped out. fatima buttoned her shirt all wrong. lauren... um.... she like ran down the runway. like, creating wind. it was terrible.
later... jaslene asks lauren if she really wants to be there. lauren's like "yes. if i didn't, would i have let them do all of this to me?" which is true... that was kind of mean of jaslene. i don't think you should ask people if they want to be there, cuz they obviously do. except for that kim chick. and that one girl last cycle. what was her name?... i call her ebony, but i don't think that's it...
winner of the challenge: katarzyna. i think that's how you spell it. everyone says it wrong, and it's driving me crazy. learn. jeeeeez. she and two friends get to do a photo shoot with jaslene. she picks amis and marvita. wooopie.
for the big photo shoot: all the girls had to pose with meat. and wear meat. and touch meat. gross. plus, kinda mean to all those poor cows who died for fashion. it was a mean and gross photo idea, tyra, but some of the pictures were good. why didn't at least one of those girls say "ew.. this isn't right"? they were just like "this is gross, but okay". no, it's kinda not. call up PETA, that's what i say. like, this is bad.
cuttin to the chase here: panel.
amis wears this crazy jacket and this crazy headband (though they did match). she''s a freak. she should dress like a model. you can look different, edgy, silly, but in a model-esk way, not grimy. oh well.
order of photos - Anya, her talking annoys me; Whitney, Katarzyna, Claire, Dominique, Stacy Ann, Lauren, Marvita, Aimee - Bottom 2 - Fatima & Amis
long story short: amis is going home with her orange juice, grapes, and ugly headband.

FINALE PART 2







Wednesday, March 19, 2008
MAYDAY PARADE
seeing if this works.
mayday parade. omg i am like ocd-ing about this music video. song: when i get home, you're so dead. guy: derek. two words: danny noriega. that's who he is like totally like. movement wise... just weird. really awkward with the "dance" type stuff. and he's strange looking. i was picturing these big guys, but no, scary emo twippy kid. but i love him. sooo sad that jason left the band though. i liked him better. how do they do this now? how do they have all of his parts in the video but with no one singing them? cuz he left right after they finished the album (perfect timing). he wrote most of the songs too. loooove him. and alex too. he's funny. bassist i think. manno i love this band. ocd-ing.
