Not asleep yet.

[weaselmom]

Okay, this is just stupid. Whatever stress is going on, whatever it is that is keeping me from sleeping--war, the TJTAMB, whatever--is now causing me to break out in peculiarly selective hives. I have a humongous hive on my left eyelid that is preventing me from even opening that eye all the way. It came on suddenly, and I know it will go away when I pound down a double dose of antihistamines. Dumb, dumb. Stop it. You have no reason to become hivey.

Here's an early warning for the four or five of you out there in Readerland: It's almost time for my running commentary on American Idol: Season 2. You've been warned. I've got my favorite picked out already.

Now see, I don't know if you're actually watching the show or if you're just kind of humoring me, the way I humored S when I asked him which Mech he played when he was BT'ing with C. If I throw out a name, will you go, "Nnn, that's nice," or will you engage in a lively and knowledgeable debate about his relative merits?

Just for the record, it's Clay Aiken. Ears and all. He sings and I'm enchanted by his voice. Makes me wish I was a bigtime musical theatre director so I could cast him in something. I also really like Ruben (who I hope knows more than just the one song) and Vanessa with her bodacious backside and wacky hair. But dang, I miss Frenchie.

Well, I saw pictures of them all in People. Does that count?

No, I just love hearing you wax lyrical about these folks.

Well, while Clay is certianly the most talented singer of the bunch... his unmanly display while awaiting his certain advancement to the finala will probably doom him. Really! All that handholding and snuggling, smooching and general carrying on will hurt him with his public image. I think america wants a little more arrogance in their idols.

Toodles,

That's an interesting point, and I can tell you guys didn't watch Season 1. There were times when the contestants did show some arrogance, and they were soundly slapped down in the polls and the message boards. So perhaps we can say that America will tolerate arrogance only if it's smothered in faux humility.

Believe me, by the time we reach the final few shows, the contestants will be so close and smoochy and touchy-feely that they will all be bearing each other's children, however difficult it may be to arrange it.

p.s. Two hour show this Tuesday! EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
