Idolatry

Hi. My name is kelley and i am an addict. to american idol!!!

i mean... it is almost as exciting as "hair cut day"! i am already poised and ready for tonight's installment of awesomeness. Sure, there are those among us who only tune in for the first few episodes to catch the freak shows. i used to be you. I am a convert. Coco helped me see the error of my ways last year! i even considered not caring this year... but last night sealed it. i have one word for you...

temptress.

while it was wildly hilarious, i have a couple thoughts. they include but are not limited to the following:

- the producers are bad people that make us laugh. it is a virtual guarantee that if you see a back story, they are going to be a train wreck. is nothing sacred? i just sat there last night saying, "bless...." i am not interested in mocking the mentally ill or morbidly obese. i'll tune in, but i won't like it! ...much.

- have these people never seen the show? did the princess leah chick really think she was what america was waiting for?? i mean... someone stop these people. friends don't let friends humiliate themselves. ok... sometimes they do but not when this stuff gets sold to E and will essentially be in syndication! c'mon!

- i hate when they don't show the good ones perform! i am actually interested in them too! who knew?

- i have a crush on simon. if you ever bring it up again, i'll deny it. i'm just saying....

i'm staying with Claire tonight and we'll enjoy a wintery mix... maybe i'll get stranded and we'll have to drink hot toddys by the fire all day while we watch Anne of Green Gables or something!!
a girl can dream.
