Tell Paula Abdul to STFU!!!!!

I don’t really watch American Idol as religiously as The Fishdog. Truth be told, I don’t really like the show until the final 6 or so, because let’s face it, the performances up until then can be sketchy at best.

I also have an issue with the fact that it’s a popularity contest and not a talent contest. If it were based on talent alone, there are a few finalists/winners that wouldn’t be. (koff, Clay Aiken, koff, Justin Guarini, koff, Carrie Underwearwood. okay, sorry. she can sing, but I still can’t stand her. Ugh. koff, Taylor Hick(s) Yeah yeah. I know people liked him. whatever. Chris Daughtry kicked his ass and outsang him.)

Anyway, back to my point. (and I do have one) Why is Paula Abdul on this show? Does anyone know? And more importantly, what the hell is she smokin’? It’s got to be some primo stuff cuz bitch don’t make no sense but she sho seems happy.

What I love most about Paula is the fact that she continually denies drinking or being under the influence of any mood-altering substance. Mmmmhmmmm. Funny, but I don’t really believe her. (FYI, you don’t have to watch much of the interview below to get where I’m coming from)

So I took the easy way out for a blog today. Sue me.

Snappy title, eh?

Cuz today is Tuesday and this is my blog. See the perfection in the simplicity?

Just a few minutes ago, I was whining on Killer’s blog (now with 30% more Liz!) about how I’m struggling to maintain my daily entries here in my own little slice of cyberspace.

Part of that is because right now, I’m distracted. Vacation starts in 3 days. On Friday afternoon, I’ll be hanging out with Maria Geraci in Tallahassee. Sunday afternoon, I’ll be taking my first of many rides on the Incredible Hulk roller coaster. Sunday Night I’ll be lounging by the pool in the house we’re renting in Orlando, preparing for my next three days at Disney.

After that, we head to the Beach where I’ll see my face crack dealer, Angie and play with her little boy and her big ol dog.

Jealous much?

Anyway, as I was pondering what I should blog about, I strolled over to Stinkydog’s blog and was inspired!

Check out my monster name.

Awesome. Go forth and find your monster name then post a comment and tell me who you are!

Yeah, I’m pretty certain I might fail 5th grade if I took their year end test today.

So, the young’uns and I watched this show tonight. Holy Crap! I’m an idiot.

You know, at one time, I thought I was pretty smart. But tonight, I discovered that common sense and smarts are not necessarily synonymous.

Ursa Major? had no idea it was the constellation in which the Big Dipper resides.
NA? it’s the elemental abbreviation for sodium. (yeah, at one time, I know that. But now that I’m a tainted adult…the only thing NA stands for is Narcotics Anonymous.)
How many teaspoons in 5 tablespoons? Okay, I cook and still didn’t know. I thought 20…but actually it was 15.

Anyway, if you ever have a desire to feel inadequate and still be slightly entertained, tune into Fox and Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader. Seriously. It’s enlightening.

(BTW, my 3rd grader was as smart as the 5th graders. He correctly answered two more questions than I did. Is it strange that I felt shame and pride simultaneously?)

Somebody please.

Just. Shoot. Me.

Honestly. It might save a child’s life….

I’m a pretty passionate person and therefore, I have a hot button or two.

One is censorship in any form. (as noted by my outrage over the proposal to ban books because of the word scrotum)

Another is forcing your beliefs onto someone else…whether they be political, religious, or parenting styles.

And another is copyright infringement. Even before I was a writer, I believed in supporting the artist whenever possible. I don’t like to buy books or CDs at garage sales or resale stores because I think it’s important the artist gets paid for their work. So, imagine my shock and frustration to discover that esnips.com allows its members to post full books in their entirety for free download.

Authors like Meg Cabot, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Kasey Michaels, Lemony Snicket, John Grisham, Jayne Ann Krentz, Linda Howard, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Alison Kent, Gena Showalter, Jaci Burton, Jennifer Crusie…need I go on?

Offering free downloads of books is taking money directly out of the author’s pocket. It has to be stopped.
