#221 - quarantine

first of all... OW! pure, freakin', bloody, ass-monkey, damn, stinkin', crappy OW! geez, this shingles thing sucks balls. and here i am, stuck at home with nothing to do but sit here and hurt. so i'm trying to make myself sleep through it on the couch (except i can only lie on my left side because my right side hurts like a mutha) by watching daytime tv, but "attack of the show" keeps coming on and olivia munn is hot! plus, she's a super dork so that kinda makes it even hotter. also, i really like the name olivia, it may be kinda old-fashioned, but it seems like all olivias are super-hot right?

anyway, i've been watching G4 network all day (i kinda feel like i should since i'm stuck at home with no social interaction for the next week), attack of the show, ninja warrior, unbeatable banzuke, and even old episodes of lost. i'm totally geeking it up. but i don't think i could touch those dorky japanesies. i mean, you watch one episode of unbeatable banzuke and even all the athletic people who do those hand walk challenges and are all super ripped and can walk up 30 degree ramps on their hands are super frickin' dorks! it's such a waste of a cool talent (being able to walk on your hands) being that embarassingly dorky. too bad. but olivia munn is a very awesome kind of dorky, in that she can dress up like a fattie and still be both dorky and hot at the same time:

or dress up like sarah palin taking it from billie mays:

wow, see what happens when i can't leave the house for the whole day and i feel like a human pincushion and my own skin makes me want to barf? ugh.

seriously, i've been going from bed to couch to shower to couch and back to shower again all day. half because i just feel disgustingly dirty from having all these pustules on my skin and half because the only relief i get all day is running warm water over my skin. seriously, it's inappropriately awesome. after getting needles stuck in my skin for all the other seconds of the day running that water over it feels so much like a very "different" kind of feeling, except this one lasts way longer and i can keep it going as long as i stand under the shower. haha, okay, sorry that was gross. but then everything about me is pretty gross right now so too bad.

argh... all i do is count down the hours until i can take my medication again, which really doesn't do much to help my mood, i mean, i know it's helping heal, but it give me no instant relief like cold medicine would do. i fell asleep for 30 minutes an hour ago, that was the best 30 minutes of my day.

grr... okay, time for distractions... and that's what this season of american idol is, a complete distraction. seriously, it's totally whack-o. first tatiana, now norman gentle this week, what am i to think? okay, well, as i sit in pain and unscratch-able torture i will comment on tonight's idol performances:

1. jasmine murray - junk. i didn't like her since before (i think it's because her too-far-apart eyes make her look kinda evil) and i still don't like her. no vote.


2. matt giraud - i really liked this guy in the early rounds, but i agree that this performance was not good. still, i would really like him to get through because i like his voice/style, so i will vote for him.

3. jeanine vailes - not good enough. no vote.

4. norman gentle - wow, what is going on here? are the producers really that desperate for something different? is having good singers not good enough? i guess now that there's 12 people singing each week they want to spice it up? whatever, so ridiculous. i mean, entertaining, yes, of course, but the most entertaining thing is that this guy has the exact same chances as anyone else of getting through to the top 12, 1 in 4. how about that? haha.


5. allison iraheta - what kind of last name is that? anyway, i liked her, good song, good singing, pretty weird, but i think she's got potential so i'll vote for her.


6. kris allen - i really liked this guy, i thought it was a pretty cool performance, and i like that he picked a non-"rock with you" kind of michael jackson song, i thought it was a great choice and i like his style. i'll definately vote for him.

7. megan joy corkrey - weirdo. i thought it sounded really halting. well, i guess she picked a pretty good song for her style, but i can't hear her singing anything else. her voice is too stylized, and i don't really like her style. so, no vote.

8. matt breitzke - not good enough. also, dances like a weirdo at karaoke. no vote.

9. jesse langseth - okay, i thought her performance tonight was pretty cool, but i think her voice would totally fall apart after a few more performances, not very versitle i think. so, good enough, but i won't vote for her.

10. kai kalama - is this guy from hawaii? i don't like the squints and the smirks. there have been an awful lot of them this season (from lots of different people). just sing regular! i guess maybe they can't, or it's too much habit already. anyway, this guy = not good enough. no vote.

11. mishavonna henson - again, kinda cool, but only good, not great. i wouldn't mind if she went through, but she won't get my vote.

12. adam lambert - weirdo emo-guy. he sings too high, it's kinda creepy. oh, no actually, he's very creepy. eww, i actually don't like him at all. he totally sounds like he's in a musical on stage. i don't like it. i think it's a really tacky style. sure, he has vocal skills, but i can't stand listening to it (or watching it). no vote.

so, in summary, here's who i want to go through this week:

- allison iraheta
- matt giraud
- kris allen

but, again, i highly doubt that's how it's gonna turn out... we'll see. and i will definately see because where the hell else am i gonna go tomorrow? i'll be the human pincushion with the disgusting festering blisters writhing on the couch all day. ugh.
