Shad Planking quickie

I got videos of all three gubernatorial candidates in attendance. Once they get converted, I'll post them. It was chilly but the rain managed to hold off for most of the event. I got the chance to speak briefly with a number of electeds and candidates, including Brian Moran, Bob McDonnell, Jon  Bowerbank, Jody Wagner, … Continue reading Shad Planking quickie →

American Idol 04/14/09: music of the movies

Tuesday evening, American Idol's top seven sang music from movies. The contestants were assisted by legendary director Quentin Tarantino. Because the show ran over last week, they changed the way the judges offered their comments. Instead of hearing from all four judges, each performer only heard from two. Kicking things off was 16-year old Allison, … Continue reading American Idol 04/14/09: music of the movies →

T-1 and counting

Or is that T-2? I get confused 😕 All I know is that tomorrow is the tax filing deadline (yeeha!) and I'm tired. Got a robo call last night inviting me to a Tea Party event tomorrow. Hmm - what should I do? Go to the Shad Planking or a Tea Party event? Decisions, decisions … Continue reading T-1 and counting →

American Idol 4/7/08 & 4/8/08: Elite 8

You know you're working too hard when it's literally Thursday morning before you realize that you missed not one, but both nights of AI this week. Thank goodness for TiVo 😉 Tuesday night's show had the remaining eight contestants singing songs from the year of their birth. Best part for me is that the years … Continue reading American Idol 4/7/08 & 4/8/08: Elite 8 →

American Idol results 04/01/09: not a joke

American Idol opened Wednesday night with comments from the judges. Interestingly enough, Simon chose the same bottom three as I did 😉 Now that's scary. Host Ryan Seacrest divided the nine into three groups of three. The first group chosen had two of my (and Simon's) bottom three in it: Megan Joy, Matt and, surprising … Continue reading American Idol results 04/01/09: not a joke →

American Idol 03/31/09: Contestant’s choice

The nine remaining contestants in Season 8 of American Idol got to choose any song they wanted to sing Tuesday night - as long as it was in the top iTunes downloads. The only question for me was whether I would recognize any of them 😉 Anoop chose a tune by Usher. He sounded good … Continue reading American Idol 03/31/09: Contestant’s choice →

American Idol results 03/26/09: Michael booted

I think it's time for AI to cut back the results show to half an hour. Seriously - did anyone enjoy the fill provided by Ruben and the duet with Smokey Robinson and whats-her-name? Now admittedly, it was a blast to hear Stevie Wonder but what was that last song in the medley? Never heard … Continue reading American Idol results 03/26/09: Michael booted →
