I love being a multi-tasker. I love watching a DVD on the computer, while simultaneously surfing the internet. Or writing while watching tv. Or falling asleep while listening to music. I can't have it quiet, I have to have some background noise in order to concentrate. This is why I love these news channels, like CNN Headline News, where there's one box with the news anchor, another box with important news tidbits, and yet another box with sports scores, weather, and stocks. Yes! Lots o' stuff rules. Now I get bored if there's only one thing to look at it. Ah, being a child of the technology age...

I am now the champion food-eating battle monkey! Mwahahaha!

A few things I want to talk about…

First off, what the hizzeck is up with American Idol? Man, they sucker us right in with the one hour results show, and then they don’t even kick anybody off! That episode served basically no purpose. Fox just wants the ratings and the advertising money and doesn’t want to lose that by shortening the show’s run, because that would be cataclysmic. But I think we all know who was going to go—Trenyce. She wasn’t bad the night before I didn't think, but I do think the leaking of the story that she was a thief really hurt her. But hey, it’ll all be forgotten by America next week so I don’t think she needs to worry.

And here’s a story that I’d like to bring mention to, about a woman who has filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop the advertisements that run before a movie in a theater. Why do I find this pertinent? I was going to mention this problem awhile ago, but I forgot. So here it is: I went to see Dreamcatcher when it opened (Why? I don’t know, just something to do. It wasn’t as bad as the reviews said I thought, mildly entertaining, but I digress…). When it started, I first was subjected to FIVE advertisements, then FIVE trailers, and finally, just when I was ready for the movie, here comes the Animatrix short. This means that the movie did not start for a HALF-HOUR after it was supposed to! Dang it, I didn’t even want to see the Animatrix!! I could have arrived a full 30 minutes “late” and not missed a thing! So I fully agree that this is a problem that should be dealt with before it gets out of hand. Remember when there used to be no advertisements before a movie? Can't...quite...remember...

And Leslie Chung died, the fine actor of A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2, not to mention other great films. May he rest in peace.

When I look back at childhood photos and see myself in shorts that are so short they barely come off the waist and striped tube socks pulled up to my knees I'm fairly embarrassed. Fashion template, I know. But I didn't feel so bad when I recently watched Sleepaway Camp, (cheesy 80s horror flick. I'm a dork, I know) in which all the kids in it had the same short shorts/tube sock style as I did in my youth during the 80s. My mom didn't lie, she did keep me on the cusp of fashion! It made me feel better knowing that all my peers were in the same boat too. All I can say is that I'm glad I missed the mullet style that was so popular in those years. But did I dodge the bullet of the "rat tail"? No. *sigh*

A great blog to read is C'mon Billy, it's cool, funny, and thought-provoking all at the same time!

The best thing ever! Corey Clark has been booted off American Idol because of a past assault--on his fifteen year old sister! What kind of sick freak is he to assault his own flesh and blood?! Truly disturbing, just like everything else about him, like his inhuman high voice. But also, Trenyce was once arrested! For theft. (Her real name is "Lashundra Cobbins," no wonder she changed it, it's not exactly the name of a superstar) Add in Frenchie's scandal and wow, these American Idol finalists really are the cream of the crop, pop idols one can really look up to!

I kid, I kid, I would never put in Frenchie in the same league as Justin--I mean, Corey--because she was good and he wasn't. Plus, she's not a criminal and he is. What they did is like apples and bananas. One is a crime, and one isn't. He beat up his sister!!! I still can't get over that one. He didn't think this would somehow get out? If only he would could have been first kicked out because of his (non-existent) talent to further crush his hopes and dreams--mwahahahaha! What a giant tool. I'm placing him in the TOOL category along with Fred Durst who you can read my feelings on below...

So apparently, Fred Durst has changed his band's name. Now I think Limp Bizkit is the dumbest name, so I thought that anything could be better. So what is it changed to? limpbizkit. Yes, it was changed to a lowercase, no-space version of the same name. Wow, Fred, you're such a visionary. Man, if only I could be as cool as you! I bet limpbizkit is going to be the best band ever now! Nothing like a name re-formation to get the creative juices flowing!

*Note* The last four sentences were sarcastic. Fred Durst is my archnemesis. He is a giant tool.
