Oh how it’s been so long.

I’m not gonna lie, I watch too much tv. I’ve gotten sucked into too many reality shows like Flavor of Love and Tila Tequila, and they’re borderline guilty pleasures.

American Idol is down to 4 now, and I think it’s pretty obvious it’s down to David Cook (!) and David Archuleta. As much as I still love the beautiful dreaded Jason Castro, I never thought he would win. Also David Cook already has an album which I guess is incredibly difficult to get ahold of. David Archuleta is good and very well loved by both the judges and the crowd but too cute-goody-goody and boring, sounds the same week after week. I’ve always liked David Cook but a few weeks ago he completely won my heart when he covered Mariah Carey Always Be My Baby. He made it into a very pretty slow rock song and I definitely recommend it, I listen to it constantly.

Paula Abdul was hilarious when she critiqued both of Jason Castro’s songs, when he had only sang his first. Everyone was like what?? Watch the drug intake before going on live tv.

My economics teacher told us today that on May 20th movie theatre prices were going up a dollar because of the new Indiana Jones movie. Argh. I already promised my bf I’d go see it, and since he pays mass amounts of gas money from Canby to Portland several times a week, I’m probably paying. Good times.

I am out of high school at the end of this month, and it’s amazing.

All good things must come to an end.

And tomorrow Spring Break will officially be over and I’ll be back at school.

It ended on a good note, with me and Ashlie going to see Armor for Sleep last night. I was also very excited to see Metro Station, and while they were fun to watch I prefer the album versions. Armor had technical difficulties and started twenty minutes late, and had their set cut short. It was upsetting, and they didn’t play any of my favorite songs. However it was still a great time and I got my fix of my Ben Jorgensen (My camera doesn’t do too well with concert photos).

Metro Station:
Shake It (my ringtone)
Seventeen Forever
Now That We’re Done
Tell Me What To Do

So, I turned on the garbage disposal after I made my coffee just a bit ago, and one of the coffee shot glasses fell in and got sliced into pieces. I got most of the pieces out but wasn’t too careful at first and cut the fuck out of my finger. I suck.

American Idol Top 10.

Jason Castro, man of few words. He seems the least of the group like he wants to be there, only because he’s so shy and gives one word unenthusiastic answers, but he’s damn cute and I’m not gonna lie, I downloaded his songs so far. Carly Smithson’s as well. Her cover of Blackbird was really pretty, and while the whole of Come Together wasn’t amazing, I love how she sounds during the chorus enough for me to listen to it over and over again. Anyway, Jason has pretty eyes, what do you want from me?? You can tell music is his passion, he says that the happiest time in his life was when he was the drummer of a band with his four closest friends, the Hollywood life just doesn’t seem to be right for him.

I’ve pretty much lost interest in everyone else but my two favorites, unless they’re performing a song I really really know and like.

Carly Smithson is just rad. She made it to American Idol two years ago [I wasn't watching back then] but her visa expired and she had to leave the country!!! That’s gotta SUCK.

She looks like she’s got a bit of an attitude here but she’s actually really sweet. Her husband’s face is entirely tattoed, and it doesn’t look really good but they make a badass couple.

So, suggested downloads:

Jason Castro- Michelle
Carly Smithson- Blackbird and Come Together
Brooke White- You’re so Vain (I LOVE THIS)

American Idol Top 11.

Last night I texted my vote in for American Idol for the very first time. Nothing could have possibly made me feel dorkier. Jason Castro will not win, but he’s so damn pretty and adorably shy and awkward that I just want him to stick around <3

I’m watching one of the top 11 about to be voted off. I hope it’s Christie Lee Cook, the girl from Oregon who turned “8 Days in a Week” from one of the two Beatles themed weeks, into a country song and crashed and burned. The only person more than her who deserves to go home is AMANDA ODENMEYER, the rock-chick who can’t sing only screech, it’s gotten old, and she even admits to not being able to sing ballads. Ever.

Jason Castro sang “Michelle” and his smiles throughout his french lines could not have produced a bigger smile from my face.

My favorite for the girls is Carly Smithson, the tattoed Irish bartender who is beautiful and amazing.  However, she is in the bottom three and might be going home tonight.
