Paraskevidekatriaphobia

Be afraid. Steer clear of black cats, take a wide berth of ladders and just to be sure, try to avoid stepping on any cracks. Or not 😉

American Idol Results 04/11/07

Why in the world did they stretch this show to an hour? The first half hour was an absolute waste of airtime - and my time. Anyway - on to the bottom three. First member of the group was Phil, who gave another lackluster performance last night. The surprise member of the bottom three was … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/11/07 →

You know you’re from Hampton Roads if….

American Idol Results 04/04/07

I have to say that the best thing I heard all evening was when Ryan Seacrest said that Tony Bennett was not going to be singing 🙂 Hey, I like standards as much as the next gal, but a Tony Bennett fan, I'm not. But then again, I can honestly say that I'd rather hear … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/04/07 →

Look out for the troopers

With 340 hp, these cars are going to be pretty hard to outrun. According to this story in the Virginian Pilot today, the Virginia State troopers are being issued the 5.7 liter, V-8 version of the Dodge Charger. That's a whole lot of horsepower. Of course, if you got the SRT-V8, with 425 hp, they … Continue reading Look out for the troopers →

American Idol Results 3/28/07

So I missed the airing of American Idol tonight but thank goodness for Tivo 🙂 The bottom three consisted of Phil Stacey, Haley Scarnato and Chris Sligh. Last night, Phil sang "Every Breath You Take" by the Police. I thought he did a good job, but I guess not good enough. Haley sang "True Colors" … Continue reading American Idol Results 3/28/07 →

Eaglets at NBG

I live across the street from the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. Since moving here, my exposure to wildlife has increased exponentially. Once tax season is over, I'll go back to walking daily thru the gardens. One thing that is really cool is that there is a Bald Eagle nest at the Gardens. This year, three eaglets … Continue reading Eaglets at NBG →

American Idol Results 03/21/07

Last night's so-called "British Invasion" wasn't much of one. I was mostly disappointed with the performances of the contestants. I thought they all chose mostly safe, boring songs. My favorite, LaKisha, must have listened a bit too much to last week's comments about how controlled her voice was. Singing "Diamonds are Forever" instead of the … Continue reading American Idol Results 03/21/07 →
