Okay kids. We are sinking to a new low as far as sound quality. I thought I swore I wouldn’t post any more of the shit I recorded on this piece of crap voice recorder. Clearly I was lying to myself… Anyhoo, if you can get past the part where I am recording while driving to work in a loud vehicle with a fabric roof this podcast ain’t half bad. I start out slow and uncomfortable, but later reveal my old dating habits! I also add a bit of clarity to a somewhat confusing post on the blog. But not much. I won’t name names. Heh.

Speaking of names, I think I coined the term “Carrie Underdrag”. That is so mine. I may just have to do Halloween this year just to get to use the name!!

And we forgot to put out the veggie tray. A house full of the gay boys and we only offered carbs. Carbs people!! I am so embarrassed. I hope no one noticed.

All in all it was a great night. I really enjoy everyone that came over. Somehow the good company helped us through the hard times in the American Idol Finale. Like the parts when that Taylor person sang. Must they force him at us like that? Sheesh. As we all now know, Miss Jordin Sparks prevailed. Not a surprise. I kinda figured, but I am still a ‘Blaker Girl’ yo. Blake’s just a great entertainer, and cute. AND did you see his package? Wow.

But seriously. The performances tonight were either bad or amazing. Some of the singing was better than during the competition. Even San-gina did an okay job! I did think it was odd that they paraded around the losers like that though. Was it just me or does it seem pathetic? And poor Ruben.. He hasn’t been on the radio like at all since he won. Weird.

Anyhoo. I am running out of American Idol stuff to say. I will end it on this. The viewing party idea is amazing. We got together once a week for the performances. It was casual. No pressure, skip if you needed, host when you could. People took turns. What a great way to work a regular social event into your calendar. An added bonus, not a lot of prep. Most people have already had dinner… Perfect for the gal on the go, or busy families! Do it!

Omg. Tonight is the big night, and I have guests on the way. Not nearly as many as I thought, but this is much better. I think folk’s will be more comfortable.. Anyhoo. Yeah. So Blake and Jordin. What do you think. Jordin was amazing last night on that last song… She really has an amazing voice. Not to mention that whole ‘17 years old’ thing. It’s just cute. Speaking of cute. Blake! I am still rooting for Blake. He is a great performer. America loves a good performance! Ask Britney! (Love ya Brits.. but come on with the lip-synching already!) So I do think he has a chance.

I kinda have to think that too, as I sit here in my homemade ‘Blaker Girl’ tee. Heh. Gawd we’re gay.

Okay I have to cut the cheese now. Not like that! We’re serving cheese. Sheesh!

Well, almost. I mean there was the sparkle-y spandex vest I used to wear to the clubs. Oh, and that whole ‘having sex with men’ thing is pretty gay too. But today I was really pretty gay. We went to Michael’s, bought tee-shirts and iron-on letters.

Then I made custom shirts for us to wear at our American Idol gig on Wednesday. It’s amazing what you can do with 15 dollars, a half an hour, and a whole lot of sass! LOL! The Blaker Girls site inspired me…

Check out the gallery for the step by step blogumentary style images. I am too embarrassed to elaborate further. So, so gay. But at least everyone will know we are Blake Lewis fans… and erm, gayer than hell. Heh. At least the event will be memorable.

‹ wish i hadn't asked!

Okay. I did a podcast. It sucked because my podcast mojo has left me. Damn. Anyway. I try to make up for it with amazing show notes. I mean look at these! You don’t even have to listen to the podcast thingie!

Aunt Barbara intro. I hope she don’t mind…
Why I haven’t podcasted in a while, a poor excuse.
Working out.
Doing chores instead of working out.
Some false modesty.
Cream of chicken cooking…
Amy arrives, and apparently smokes less. Oh, and she killed animals as a child.
Amy kills my ‘podcasting mojo’.
I am not interesting.
The American Idol party is coming soon! Blake!
I talk aboot kids and stress.
My social life update… I am interesting!
Gay people judge.
I love on the Internets.
The podcast drinking game.
I hate editing.
Issues talking about the past.
I get crafty gay.
There are hotties at my gym.
I sneeze.

About tonight’s American Idol... I don’t know what to think. I mean. Yeah, I wanted Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks to make it. I did. I even commented about it. Melinda was just in another league compared to the rest in the program. But after all those scenes of her going home… I don’t know. I didn’t want any of them to go home after all of that. Sigh.

Speaking of cute little Blakey-poo, is it just me or did he seem really gay tonight? I may just be unfairly stereotyping but seriously. He seemed more gay than usual to me… Maybe just wishful thinking.

Anyhoo. So now we know who we will be rooting for next week. Or do we. Blake? Jordin? They are both great. Both hawt. I am torn. The final two. Yaaaay Blake!! (Torn may not be the right word…)

UPDATE: The Blake Lewis Fansite. Thanks Fred!

That’s it, there is no turning back. Invitations are sent. We are hosting the American Idol finale. I am kinda stressed. It’ll be the most people we’ve ever had over! But then, it’ll be fun too. I hope everyone can make it. I hope I don’t just stand in the kitchen cleaning things the whole time. Sorry, I should go insane off line…

Anyway, here’s the top part of my invite. What do you think??

I know it’s good etiquette to do show notes. I do. I just hate doing it. Who knows what the hell I talked about this time? Sheesh. Let me think..

Springtime means the swallows are back, The Birds, work (which I shouldn’t even talk about!), playing hooky, guilt, the new camera, technology, and some other great stuff. I also contemplate the future of video on dp.com. Give it a whirl!!

Oh! I promised to embed a scene from The Birds too… We’ll do that in the extended.
