I haven't written in a while - been very busy with work, which SUCKS. Anyway, I am still loving Hell's Kitchen. I'm a little sad that Jen is gone - she was very entertaining. I love "I'm the best even though I never win the challenges". And "I cook good risotto the first time and crappy risotto 2 seconds later". Does anyone even like risotto? It's such a staple of this place!
I can't believe Petroza has managed to make it this far. He's fat and filthy but apparently a very good chef. There is NO way he is going to win this thing. I think it has to be Christina but I think maybe Petroza is the best cook. Can you imagine him as your boss in the kitchen? RIDICULOUS.
Ok - short and sweet. Can't wait for Hell this week.

Where Have I Been??
You know what's nice about blogging - I actually have a chance to miss myself... I need to delve into AI a little bit before I start on my new favorite show, "Hell's Kitchen". I must say that my little dred-lock guy HAD to go this week. Not only was his rendition of Bob Marley TERRIBLE, but he was a mess on the elimination show and was relieved he didn't have to come back because he wouldn't have to memorize THREE songs. Dumb as a rock - meanwhile, little lip-licker is belting out Elvis songs and while he is extraordinarily annoying, at least he can memorize his songs.
Why isn't Syesha getting any credit for
A - being good?
B - being beautiful?
Granted - she looked a bit whorish in her Tina Turner outfit but she PULLED it off. Meanwhile, the "tight pants boys brigade" is looking ridiculous with their chapped lips, yellow teeth and mysterious hairdos. This chick is bringing the beauty AND the voice every time. All that said, David Cook should win because he really is the only one with a future. Archuletta needs to go Disney (and gay), Syesha should go Broadway or TV, and Dred-lock needs to go to college and smoke pot 8 times per day.
On a new note, does anyone watch Hell's Kitchen?? I love this show. I don't even know where to begin. My favorite line this week about tall blond in reference to the little Vietnamese dude, "I mean he's barely 4 feet tall and I'm 6 feet tall. It's NOT happening." I LOVE the way Gordon Ramsey says Fuck Off instead of Goodnight. And I am supremely entertained by the number of DUMBasses who can cook. First of all, what the hell kind of name is Petroza and why is he NEVER on the chopping block? If I saw that man cooking my food, I would run for the exit. And Ben is dumb as a rock - none of them can speak and the little guy really IS 4 feet tall AND stupid.
My favorite/least favorite, though, without question, is Matt. CLOSE YOUR MOUTH. I do feel bad for those people who just can't close their mouths but this guy is going to immediately sign up for Extreme Makeover when he sees himself on TV. Now that Gordon Ramsey has joined Simon Cowell as one of the most accurate observers on TV, I think I may want to move to London. Or England, whatever - you HAVE to watch this show. It is priceless.
So, I play on a co-ed softball team and 3 of the guys have had babies in the last 2 years. 3 boys - the names....Jack (reasonable), Desmond (a bit odd) and Hugo (are you kidding me???). Now I realize people are going for original names and all but do these guys really not notice that they are blatantly picking the names of "LOST" characters? And if not after Jack which is a common name, how can you name your kid Hugo after the last announcement was of Desmond??? Ridiculous. But, I love it...

Back Bloggin'
Ok, so I've been quite busy the past couple of weeks - very busy catching up on tv but now ready to comment. Let's talk current, now. AI, first of all. I can't believe Brooke is not being voted off after that MESS last night. Who is voting for her?? And why does Syesha continue to get shafted? She's beautiful, great teeth, great skin and great voice and she always seems to be on the bottom. And I still love her for singing with no voice during the auditions. Ok, maybe she is a little lacking in the personality department but at least she's good!!
I'm a little sick of Carly and her terrible teeth and her awful black jeans which showcase her larger lower half. Yes - she has a good voice but the TEETH. And I'm sorry...I am all for immigration but should the AMERICAN Idol be American?? That's why I'm not too broken up about losing Michael Johns. I'm also a little sick of David little boy with the lip licking. I'd comment about the tight pants but what guy on this show doesn't wear tight pants?? Yes, he has a good voice but NO personality and the meek little "oh..oh...oh..." is getting old.
Ok - blogging during AI - now I'm liking Carly again for accepting her exit so gracefully. But the teeth are still terrible. I have to admit that David Cook should win - he is a great singer and he always pulls off the rocker thing no matter what. But, I like Syesha & Dred-lock - LOVE dred-lock singing Memories. Fabulous. He's a train wreck but he IS charming, as Simon says.
And I know I never "weighed in" on the BL finale. I think Ali will be anorexic within a year but I'm glad a chick finally won. That being said, America is STUPID for voting Maaaahk out (although it would have been a painful decision to vote FOR him) and Roger choked. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that Roger thought he would never be voted in by America but let's be honest - he's not that smaaaaaht. He choked. Plateau, my ass. He now needs a chin lift. And Jay needs his boob skin removed. And I wish marble-mouth had won - she's so sweet and cute and I can't believe her ex didn't show up. Definitely got fat again and not sick...
Finally, I am VERY glad that Maaahk lost to Bernie by ONE pound. And is it me, or did some of them lose almost NO weight?! At least they showed up, I guess...

"Belated" Birthday Wishes
Somehow, lately, I find myself saying, "Only in America" A LOT. In Sweden, almost every staircase is winding. One of my colleagues once said if there were a staircase like that in America, there would be a table at the bottom with lawyers seated, waiting for people to fall down the stairs and sue.
My inspiration for this? The "belated" birthday card. I might have missed a friend's birthday (ahem) so I was looking in the card section for LATE birthday wishes. Then, I remembered to look for "belated". Why so proper? It's RIDICULOUS!! At physical therapy, when they put heat on my back, they give me a little bell to ring if it gets too hot. Only in America. The extreme warnings on coffee cups - "BE CAREFUL OF HOT LIQUID". Only in America. The 9000 side effects of every drug during the commercials. You get the point...
I am so glad that Maaaahk and Dan fell below the yellow line. But, once again, Dan fucked up. A smarter person would have lobbied with the girls - don't vote me off and I'll team up with you two. But noooooo, PRIDE ON THREE had to win out. And the big fat guy, Roger, also stupid. Vote off a brother!! Now, if he falls below with a brother, he's screwed. AND, don't think the brothers won't turn on Roger in a heartbeat if he falls below. He's the only one who can beat them. These guys are IDIOTS. PRIDE ON THREE.

Hamantashen and Circumcision...
Ok - is that how you spell circumcision? Tough one. I have the MOST bizarre experiences in my job. Being in the science field, the majority of my meetings are with Asians and Jews (in one network, not the other). So, I was meeting with this guy from Moffitt Cancer Center (one of the biggest cancer centers in the U.S.) and he was hurting my brain with all of his scientific questions so I decided to change the subject. Please picture this man - typical Jewish-looking guy. A bit pasty, glasses (Ray-bans, interestingly), yellow teeth, short and pretty big hair. ANYWAY, I was meeting with him on Good Friday and my head hurt from all of the science so I steered the conversation to Judaism, not knowing it was Purim.
First, we talked a bit about Hamantashen (the fruit-filled triangular cookies we Jews eat on Purim). Then, he told me that his wife is more religious than he is and that she converted. SOMEHOW, the conversation moved to circumcision. He was talking about his wife being pregnant and she is having a girl and I said something like, "At least you don't have to have a bris!" These little conversations, by the way, keep me sane in my line of work while leaving me with a story to tell my friends and also, help me to be successful - who wants to ONLY talk about DNA, right?
So, I was telling him (please don't forget what he looks like) about my conversation with my Swedish friends and how the Swedes don't circumcise. My friend couldn't understand WHY we circumcise in the U.S (it's a very hard word to write, by the way) and she just wasn't buying the "sanitary" explanation. So finally, her husband explained that the kids who aren't circumcised get laughed at in the locker room. She COMPLETELY understood this! Yes, I told this story to this man :)
His reaction? Well, he laughed and told me that he remembers the one kid growing up from the locker room and how weird he looked with his uncircumcised penis. RIDICULOUS. The next day, I got an e-mail from him....some of it was about science but a good 3 paragraphs were devoted to the various hamantashen flavors and the fact that his convert wife didn't do such a good job of cooking them! These moments are just priceless and I need a hidden camera or something!!

Ugh how could I forget...
CHIKEZE. He should NOT be on this show. Gay-boy should have beaten him out. Even when he is "good", he is still sweaty, gummy and awful. And I will NEVER get over the orange suit.
I have to say that I agree with Simon about almost everything. I HATE Brooke - she is so damn pasty. She does look better than she did at the beginning of the show but the yellow dress for "Here Comes The Sun" and the horrific dancing just makes me hate her more. AWFUL.
I wish the little Asian would just belt it out. And, I can't help but love dredlock. He is adorable. Was tonight the night for tight pants, or what??

TV
I'm not sure how I feel about Monica Seles on Dancing With The Stars although I do have to say, that I may actually watch it. She looks ridiculous. And "deaf" is on it, too. Polite. So, she has advanced her career to DWTS and The L Word. Deaf has made some interesting moves!! And when did she win an Academy Award?? Oy. I don't know if I can watch this, even with Monica Seles. Do you think one of her competitors on the dance floor will stab her if she gets too close to winning?? J has asked me to tape this show for her. So, as it is getting ready to tape, the tv tells me that 2 shows will be taping at the same time which is ok, as long as I don't want to watch anything else at the same time. So I figured the conflict was with "Intervention" and it would be no problem because I could watch it while taping DWTS. But noooooo...the recording program was Little People, Big World. I am embarassed as to what our taping has become.
So, more importantly, shall I begin with BL or AI? I have yet to address AI at all, I think. I am SO glad "Skunk" was voted off as well as "hot but boring as all hell". I'm a little pissed that Stripper was voted off instead of that blonde chick (hard to tell all of the blondes apart). Is this the year of the bad hair or what?? The "rocker" boy has the worst hair ever and the gay guy who was voted off - what was up with his hair? And I am NOT including dred-lock in this synapsis because I kind of like his hair. I'm also not too pleased with some of the teeth, most notably "I'm Irish and I already recorded an album".
Anyway, I AM a fan of "I'm two but I had the best voice ever until I forgot the words last week. I must have blown my load on Imagine a few weeks ago". I'm also a fan of "dred-lock" who is adorable. And I like the black chick with the big hair who lost her voice during auditions but found her voice in time to belt out her final audition. And that's my take on AI, for now...
As for BL...I am SO pissed off that they let Maaaaaaahk back on the show. And, I can't believe those shoddy girls voted off Bernie, once again, ruining their SLIM chance to get rid of the boys. And Dan is such a moron - if he had any brains at all, he would have flipped over to the girls' side - if he ends up in the final four with those chicks, he could win the whole thing. But noooooo, he's siding with Maaahk and the Alabama guy who just turned into a DICK when his buddy was voted off. It's BS that they didn't tell us who was voted off last week so I guess we'll see what happens during the intro... All I can say is, despite Jillian's best efforts, black is HURTIN'.
