are rappers bored?

i hate this song. jim jones sounds like he is sleeping.

american idol stylists are mean

sanjaya is not the most talented singer on american idol and he probably wont win, but the stylists on AI should not be allowed to play with him like this. he is only seventeen and he has no idea he can tell the stylists that no, he does not want to look like a cross between shirley temple and sandra bernhard. check him out...

week 1: kind of normal. a little over zealous with the curling iron, but ok.

week 2: michael jackson

week three: the rachel?

week four: this is the shirley/sandra 'do that is just mean.

of course i can't wait to see what they do to him next week. but still, it's mean right?

UPDATE 3/21: everyone looked better last night, they even let melinda doolittle out of her matronly dresses. check this out: votefortheworst.com sanjaya is going to win.

UPDATE 6/12: well it goes without saying that sanjaya was the best part of american idol. i never voted for a contestant on any other season and i voted for sanjaya. then i found out that he's not real.

i have luke warm feelings towards alpacas

for no other reason than i just found out about them. and aren't they just small llamas?

i have seen this commercial several times now, usually late at night with no warning:

this is an odd infomercial commercial. it's suggesting that i can find financial security and spend more time with my family by starting an alpaca farm. really? but i've never heard of alpacas. people don't eat them, drink their milk or wear their fur do they?

upon further research, i love alpacas.com tells me that alpacas are the "world's finest livestock investment." turns out their fleece is turned into the most luxurious garments in the world. sounds delicious.

i love design shows

particularly 'design on a dime' on hgtv. they spend $1000 (actually much more than a dime) to design a room in your house. sometimes they are good: i once saw them make a murphy bed out of a desk and it was spectacular.

sometimes they are bad: design coordinator kelly hung these scary plants on the wall because she "wanted to put plants in the room but wasn't sure how." well kelly, how about in a pot on a table?

nope, not for kelly. she thought nailing moss to a plank and then tying a staghorn fern to that with fishing line was the way to go. they look like green organic deer antlers. gross.
