something the pointer sisters said...

i don't usually use the pointer sisters as a reference point for quippy quotes, but dang it, i'm so excited, and i just can't hide it.

there. i said it. i'm not saying it makes me proud; i clearly have no pride left. i'm also completely gorked on cold medicine at the moment so i might prattle on about kittens and bamboo handbags. i'm not sure. we'll see.

i'm truly ecstatic to be contributing to this season's american midol and i am certainly in the midst of some impressive characters.

i think the thing i'm the most stoked about this season is the trainwreck we all know as paula abdul, especially since the bravo network debuted her reality show, "hey paula". sadly, paula pulled the plug on her own reality series, presumably, at least to me, because she actually watched it and realized what a hot mess she really is while the cameras are rolling. one has to assume that she doesn't tivo her appearances on idol and that she is just effed up enough on a regular basis to consider her on-and-off-camera behavior "normal". if you ask me, i'd tell you i think i like paula better when she's all hopped up on goofballs. she's much calmer and less scream-y.
plus, you know, it's just funnier.

i'm also looking forward to the truly craptastic ford commercials the contestants shoot. the musical arrangements and vocals are reminiscent of horrible early 60's elevator muzak arrangements and ironically, i don't think they're supposed to be. they're horrifically delicious. so there's that.

what does this season hold in store for idol fans? well, if we've learned anything from the past bajillion seasons, it's that this season's contestants will suck, too.

peace out for now, idol fans!
