Dear Rosie O'Donnell: Please, I'm Begging You, Shut Up
I had to snap out my blogging coma to implore that Ms. Rosie O'Donnell, currently of ABC's test of viewer wills The View, shut her pie hole. I'm not referring to her spat with the equally obnoxious and dead pelt-coiffed Donald Trump, but instead to her outrage over the treatment of those auditioning on American Idol.
We are currently in the midst of SEASON SIX of American Idol. There are no more surprises -- for either the viewer or the contestant. Audtioning for the show is voluntary, and if those auditioning a) are surprised that weren't picked or b) outraged about comments the judges made about them, they have nobody but themselves to blame. They also haven't been watching the show for any of the first five seasons.
Frankly, I've actually started feeling bad for the judges this year, as the combination of attitudes and ghastly performances could make anybody crazy. Also, keep in mind that we are watching but a minute portion of those who audition in each city. I would venture to guess that 99 percent of those that don't make it are told so in quick, polite tones.
How About the Weather, Huh? Yeah, from what I hear it's bad all over. In fact, I was thinking about the weather this morning as I was scraping some global warming off my car.
My dad, stepmom, nephew, and his girlfriend are coming to town tomorrow. This will be the first time they will have seen Sam. While contemplating things we could do while they're here, I remembered that the O'Reilly World of Wheels will be in town -- you know, the one featuring the Texas Bikini Team. Please, somebody, tell me: What is a "bikini team"?
Words. Recently in The Pulse, I've interviewed Ralphie May and Isaac Hayes, reviewed Robert Fripp's Exposure reissue, and took the city to task over its questionable marketing of the proposed homeless campus.
Blog Changes. I am adding an "About Me" page and a link to my fickr page. I'm also going to revise my blogroll and links and place them on separate pages. Wow. Exciting.
