Random stuff
Sep. 1st, 2009 09:48 am-- My haircut that I did on myself last night still looks really good in the light of day after straightening out the wavy bits. Woohoo! I saved myself fifteen bucks. :D
-- My mom's cat doesn't have cancer! She got a call this morning from the vet to tell her the two lumps they took out were benign, which he was happy about as well since he was sure they were going to come back malignant. However, Owen was biting at his stitches yesterday while I was there and my mom put the cone on him. He did not appreciate it. In fact, he tried to walk backwards out of it, which was hilarious. But he didn't smother my parents in their sleep, which he looked just about ready to when she put the cone on him, so that's good.
-- Michelle Duggar's pregnant again. I'd be rolling my eyes more if I weren't liking those odds more with every new kid that pops out. There's no way every single one of those kids is going to turn out to be a perfect Christian soldier who pounds out puppies like babies are going out of style, and I'm not sure how accepting they'd be when one turns out to be gay, another becomes an atheist, and somebody decides that after the childhood they've had they don't want kids. Bonus points if all three of those are Jinger. (And to be honest, even with this, STILL not as irritating as Jon and Kate.)
-- Soleil Moon Frye celebrated 1 million Twitters followers by dressing up as Punky Brewster. And that's your moment of zen.
-- 5 Amazing New Inventions (That Will Doom Humanity)

Okay, so this my new favorite thing, brought to us by
ogi_ogas of SurveyFail here:
Well, slash is kind of the female equivalent of the straight male interest in transsexuals.
What is this, I don't even.
Oh, and I get a bullshit answer from him before anybody else in that thread got their bullshit answers from him. Do I win a prize?

Heh. Oops.
Sep. 1st, 2009 11:25 pmSince I'm pretty sure nobody's really THAT serious about avoiding America's Got Talent, here's the awesome thing you missed tonight.
So there's this kid dancer, Arcadian Broad. He did fantastic in his audition and made the top forty. Then he made the top twenty after a performance the judges gave him okay comments for because he played a piano for part of it instead of dancing. Whatever.
Tonight they made him perform a dance routine to a song from High School Musical with a bunch of back-up dancers. It was ... okay. It wasn't the best thing all night -- quite frankly, I think he didn't have a chance even before what came next -- but then the judges started in on him and he got upset and basically said, "I didn't want to do HSM, the producers made me do this routine --" before the judges (and Nick) hushed him.
On one hand, it was kind of awesome to hear someone SAY it for once. I mean, really, nobody is stupid enough to think, say, that the pianists/singers the past few quarter-final rounds seriously asked for back-up dancers, for fuck's sake.
On the other hand, somebody just violated their contract. *wince*
EDIT: Fuck it. I voted for him on the website because it was too awesome to pass up. :D
