Because I'm 'behind the 8 ball' on blogging, I'm including some past contestants.
First off, WHAT IS PAULA ABDUL ON? Seriously. The only reason she's on the show is because she and Simon are doin' it.
The ladies...
Carly - It's ashame she's gone. She could sing. The tats were a bit much to take, but when it
comes down to it, I'd download a song or two of hers.
Syesha - snore. She can sing and she's pretty and all, but I find her boring.
Brooke - I love Brooke, and I'm not afraid to say it. I find her voice unique and her songs sincere. But no, she's not who I would pick to win.
The gents...
Michael Johns - such ashame he's gone. So nice to look at...
David Cook - he's my American Idol. And finally, America agrees. Hopefully, there will be no 'oops we voted off Chris Daughtry' syndrome again. What's funny is that earlier in the competition, I didn't even know who this guy was.
David Archuwhatever - this kid (yes KID) belongs on a Disney stage. Albeit - the Disney stage reserved for the best singers, but a Disney stage nonetheless.
Jason Castro - Jack Johnson he is not. I need to be drinking a pina colada with an umbrella in it on a white sandy beach somewhere if he's going to be singing.

Profile picture explained
Mike and I had an awesome experience last summer to go 'behind the scenes' at Citizens Bank Park. So here I am, posing as Chase Utley - the one that got away (sigh).
Anyway, I've enjoyed the April the Phils have given their loyal fans (the wins, for the most part). And am very excited to see what Pat the Bat Burrell can show this season.

Shameful Submission (Part II)
Mike and I are now members of Sundance Vacations.
We were deviously (ok...very enticing and politely, actually) lured to the Sundance office in KoP. In exchange for us listening to their hour schpeal about their membership program, we were offered a 'free' 6 day/5 night cruise to Bermuda on Royal Caribbean. We figured even an hour of wasted time was worth a chance at getting a cruise.
Long story short. We left with (1) - a free cruise to Bermuda, no airfare needed as cruises leave from NJ, but we do have to pay for taxes and port charges. Oh, and for booze. And (2) a membership to Sundance Vacations.
Contrary to popular belief, the sales people were as polite as can be expected for people working on commission. I never once felt pressured. Every time we said no, they countered with a lower offer. After rejecting their first offer of 30 weeks of vacation for TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, we agreed to a Pay As You Go plan - $200-400 per week to some really sweet places. I pity the suckers who paid $12K.
The cruise (barring an unforeseen blackout dates) will be set for Sept '08 (Happy Birthday to ME!). And if anyone is planning a vacation in the near future let me know! We can sell our weeks to friend and family!

Sigh.
I have caved to peer pressure (and secret desire). I am now a blogger.
It is only fair that those I stalk via blogspot.com, et al, are able to reciprocate. So here it is, for better or worse.
