Jason booted off AI

He should have laid off the ganja.

Although, who knows. It doesn't really look like pot smoke in the infamous picture (which I won't post here but you can see it here.

I liked Jason - what a great smile. In fact, I'm going to grab my review of American Idol from the Habesha Child blog and post it here, it was that clever long and I'm that lazy:



David Cook? Needs a bath and a shave. Plus I DO NOT find him original. AT ALL. Waste of space. He needs to shut up.

David Archuleta? He’s a mere puppy. He sings like he still needs to hit puberty. Plus, I could not listen to a whole CD of him breathing his way through one ballad after another. Waste of space. *yawn*

Syesha? Good voice but not great. I find her the least offensive of the bunch. Plus, I LOVED that orange dress she wore Tuesday night. LOVE. IT.

Jason? He was very nice to look at - beautiful, infectious smile. I think he was happy to go, though. He had a nice but not very powerful voice. Not enough range, I’m afraid. He should talk to Whoopie’s stylist about trimming the dreds.

Overall, this season of AI is a snorefest. After the departures of Michael Johns and then Brooke White, I just couldn’t be arsed to watch.

The finale will be about as thrilling as the one where Taylor Hicks won.

SOUL PATROL!! my bleedin' foot!

I KNEW Wombles were real!!

Thanks to Rana for the link to this furry goodness.

You go girl!!

Sheesh, I must be the world's biggest sap.

I just saw Amy Winehouse performing on the Grammys (live via satellite from London) and at the end of the performance I was bawling like a baby.

She not only sounded great, but she looked great (I read she went to the dentist yesterday and had a crown fitted so she's lost that gap-toothed crack addict look). Other than being painfully thin, she looked healthy and made some great, playful eye contact with the camera.

It was at the end when she said thanks and that she was honored to be able to perform, that I started crying. I just wish her all the best and I hope she can successfully overcome her drug problems. I think she is an extremely talented young woman.

p.s. Tina Turner can STILL ROCK IT!! She looks a bit like my mom 10-15 years ago (if she was into the rock and roll).

p.p.s. I LOVE Andy Williams. How great to see him tonight!

Oooh, he's baaackkk!

Chef Gordon Ramsay, that is.

My heart goes pitter patter just a wee bit when I see that man.

"It tastes like gnat piss!" was my favorite line of the night from him.

And I have never seen so much crying in one show - first night, no less. Some people need to tuck their tails between their legs and scurry on back home.

I actually liked how Vinnie said Chef was all mean and then he goes and says something cute like "rubbish" or "bin" and this makes him laugh. I would laugh too...as my knees go weak at that accent. He swears like a sailor and he's British - sigh. I think Vinnnie was also the guy who said when Chef gets mad his face looks like a wrinkled shar pei - HA! True dat!

AND he's a runner.

Too bad he's married.

(Hugh Grant is still my favorite Brit though - too bad he's a bit of a prat)

I can't wait for next week's Hell's Kitchen. It's "the most shocking Hell's Kitchen ever," don'tcha know!

2 blogs??

Well, I had to rethink the purpose of my first one, Random Ramblings on the Road to Motherhood as it evolved. It's mostly about the process of bringing my daughter ("Myfanwy") home from Ethiopia. As I may share it with M in the future, I try not to fill it with too much other stuff. But I've found that keeping it to the main topics of adoption and parenting is very restricting. Plus, I don't want to have to edit the whole thing (because of my potty mouth) before it's suitable for M to read.

This 'ere blog allows me to periodically expunge the occasional petty diatribes, the filth, and the complete & utter nonsense that floats through my mind. I encourage you to do the same with your comments.

So, with that - ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!!

p.s. Why nekogrrl? You're right, 'tis true, I'm no longer a young lass and I was never the 'grrl' type even when I was a young lass (we didn't have grrls in those days). Nor am I a very talented singer/songwriter. But it's an old moniker of mine, based on my first cat's name. People still call me nekogrrl or variations on it. I think it's clever & pithy (thousands would disagree) - perfect for blogging.

So, if it looks like I haven't posted anything to either blog for a while and you are one of the ones of people who love to read about me, then check the other site. Maybe something earth shattering happened there.
