absolutely ordinary

Oh, and while I’m on a mini posting binge, I’d just like to state for the record that for this season of American Idol, I would have been happy with either Adam or Kris winning.  Kris makes the kind of music I like to listen to (and I think his duet with Keith Urban was all kinds of fantastic), but I appreciate that Adam can sing his face off (as Randy Jackson would say).  Yeah, his screaming kind of turned me off and would either make me cringe or laugh, depending on the song, but when he sings in his normal voice?  I love it.  So, yes, both would have been good winners, and I love that they’re bestest pals and all, which probably makes the creepy Idol fan fiction writers super happy.  But deep down inside, I’m happy that the underdog won.  I’ve assumed for months that Adam would win, but once Kris pulled out his cover of “Heartless” and went for the jugular last week, I thought that the underdog might pull this off, and he did.

Rabid Adam fans, if you want to blame someone, blame me.  I voted.  Once.  And that vote was for Kris.  I would have voted twice except the first time I’m pretty sure I misdialed the number because instead of hearing, “THANK YOU FOR VOTING FOR CONTESTANT TWO,” or whatever the recording dude says, I heard some sultry jazz music and a woman cooing, “Hello, stud,” and I hung up super fast.

Yes, I likely misdialed and called one of those late night party lines or something.  It’s a miracle that I wasn’t overly traumatized and managed to dial the proper number to put in my single Kris vote.

So, yes, I like to believe that it’s my one single solitary vote that made all of the difference.  You’re welcome, Kris.

I’m not sure what the hell Tumblarity is, but I’m pretty proud that my Tumblarity is zero.

I win.

If you like Wilco, the Wilco app for the iPhone/iPod is pretty nifty.

And did I mention free?

I feel bad when I neglect Tumblr for Twitter.  To keep Tumblr from feeling left out, I’ll tell it that I have a super blister on my foot.  Lovely, no?  Yeah, it feels lovely, too.  Makes me limp and everything.  THE BEST.

Oh, and I should have known that mentioning Foot Fetist Tanner on The Bachelorette on Twitter would bring out the weirdos.  Right after I mentioned him, I get a notice that some “sexy feet” person is following me.  Ew.  BLOCKED.

Now I can go back to not posting here for another month or two. 

File this one under “Things That Make Me Laugh When It’s Almost 2am and I Should Be in Bed.”

Eric Byrnes believes his new mouth guard will help his hamstring.

Say whaaaaaaaaat?

But because it’s almost 2am, and everything is funnier at 2am when you’re extra tired, this is the part that makes me laugh the most:

“It’s supposed to line your jaw up and help you breathe and a bunch of shit,” the third baseman said.

You going to try it out?

“No.”

I’m giggling as I type this.  I’m going to bed now.

If it’s true that Kris Allen is singing “Falling Slowly” on American Idol tonight, then he automatically gets all of my votes (if I could be bothered to vote) for actually picking something cool and current and not done to death on this show.  Bravo, Kris Allen!  You win my vote for being one of the only contestants this season who can pick songs that don’t suck and suit your voice, last week aside.

Now I’m going to try to go outside without getting blown over by the wind.  I was already attacked by falling eucalyptus bits this morning.  Taking an acorn to the head unexpectedly?  Doesn’t feel good.  Then again, taking an acorn to the head anytime?  Doesn’t feel good.
