Yippee...Free Slurpee Day at 7-11. Thanks Homer!
It's Homer Simpson Day at Kwik-E-Mart. All the Indian Americans are totally against the Simpson movie tie-in. Because of the Kwik-E-Mart owner, Apu, being made fun of as an Indian owner that overcharges for rotten food. But ten 7-11's were rebranded to Kwik-E-Marts today and the whole chain has Homer pink donuts and a bunch of brilliant signage and swag. Only the rebranded Simpson stores sell Krusty O cereal, etc. and I had to get you some pics. I got this at the webside "nohomers.com" and I can't tell if they hate homer or not, but anyway... And the stuff is flying off the shelves. Pretty cool. We are making the game at my job, so there are standee's of Homer in his underwear eating donuts all over the office. And Bart, etc. Very funny.

I'm bored
Those bastards at Fox. How could they hook 30 million people every week on American Idol and then leave us with the summer to entertain ourselves? It's freaking 55 degrees outside, and a 30 mph wind, and I can't even ride my bike. I know I am whining but I really miss American Idol. And they gave us that shitty ON THE LOT. Tomorrow night there is a new show called "Don't Forget the Lyrics" where you watch some wacked karaoke performances and they can't forget the words. I guess it might be ok, but I'm not holding my breath. This All-Star Game is finally getting interesting...bottom of the 9th with 2 outs...I guess that was a last minute decision to dial up the fun. Jeffro, your Cubbie jacked one out of the park. I was very happy for you and I know you are just so happy with Derek Lee as well, right? I am a secret cubbie fan only because my favorite Dusty Baker was the coach before the cubbies canned him like last week's tuna. I miss Dusty. And my Giants suck. Suck Suck Suck. I actually got to see them in the only World Series game I have ever attended. Even though we lost (which was the demise of Dusty) it was still an awesome series. Holy Grand Slam Batman...bases are loaded at bottom of 9 with 2 outs. Score 5-4 AL. Man I hate Tony LaRussa. Why didn't he send in Albert Pujols. He's on the freaking bench. Well, one pitch and game over. Dammit.
So, I printed out the freakin' liner notes from Kelly. Her thank yous were pretty lame-o. And no words. WTF? And she thanks her manager "OOPS" I guess that went to print before the firing! Anyway, I know you guys are tired of me talking about her, so scroll down if you are...but I really, really like the new album. It's really grown on me. Hole is a good tune. "There's a Hole....In my Heart..." worth the download. Basically, the way I listen to the cd is I begin by listening to all songs divisable by 4 first. Follow along. 4th track is Sober...8th track is Be Still....12th track is "Can I Have a Kiss". Then I go back and listen to #3 Hole and jump to #9 Maybe. Which actually is a lie, because #9 Maybe is probably my 2nd favorite song on the cd, so let me just be clear on how to listen to the cd. Burn it on you computer and then recopy it in this order.
1. Sober...if this is not a #1 hit, I'll be shocked
2. Maybe...also has that hook of a lyric that keeps replaying in my head
3. Can I Have a Kiss...really like it and the lyrics are very cool. Best track to explain how she thinks.
4. Be Still...love this ballad
5. Hole ...favorite rocker chick song on the album
6. Dirty Little Secret ... it's a good rocker too
7. Haunted...ok
And then the rest are just what they are. So anyway...I was thinking on the way to work...the guy that launched this album must be quite the a-hole. And I wonder if he knows who it is. You know how Carly Simon has kept it quiet all these years about who was the man who inspired "Your So Vain". I wonder if the loser that nearly turned Kelly gay will ever try to cash in on breaking her heart.
I was also thinking about all the reviews and interviews she has been through. And all the evil doers talking about her man hating (including me). And really I think she has been very clear and honest at how pig-headed she was about making this album HER way. Her thank yous were more like apologies for being a pain in the ass. Thanking alot of people for fighting for her and with her. So, read the words to her song "Maybe"...and I take a little info from it. She just is tired of people telling her she is 'lost' and 'wrong' and 'tough' and 'undeserving of her fame'...and I think at some point she may believe she is unworthy of love. So, to me "Maybe" is a little confession of how her heart really feels.
Maybe...
I’m strong
But I break
I’m stubborn
And I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I’m hard
And life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love
I’m jaded but oh so lovely
All you have to do is hold me
And you’ll know and you’ll see just how sweet it can be
If you’ll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe
Someday
When we’re at the same place
When we’re on the same road
When it’s okay to hold my hand
Without feeling lost
Without all the excuses
When it’s just because you love me, you let me, you need me
Then maybe, maybe
All you have to do is hold me
And you’ll know and you’ll see just how sweet it can be
If you’ll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe
I’m confusing as hell
I’m north and south
And I’ll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn’t meant to walk this world without you
And I promise I’ll try
Yeah I’m gonna try to give you every little part of me
Every single detail you missed with your eyes
Then maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe
One day
We’ll meet again and you’ll need me, you’ll see me completely
Every little bit
Oh yeah maybe you’ll love me, you’ll love me then
I don’t want to be tough
And I don’t want to be proud
I don’t need to be fixed and I certainly don’t need to be found
I’m not lost
I need to be loved
I just need to be loved
I just want to be loved by you and I won’t stop ‘cause I believe
That maybe, yeah maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe
I should know better than to touch the fire twice
But I’m thinking maybe, yeah maybe you might
Maybe, love maybe
I really love that song, but Sober is still my favorite. Ok, so I hope you seriously spend the 2 bucks and atleast download Sober and Maybe.
Alright, more tomorrow.
Oh, one final note...look at this pic of STING from aol. He looks like George Michael. Sting is getting gayer by the minute, I swear. Not that there is anything wrong with gay, but I used to be attracted to him, but he's getting too pretty.

Flight of the Conchords
Did you take my advice and watch HBO tonite, for Flight of the Conchords? It was really funny. Remember me telling you how they live mundane lives and then something breaks them into song? Well here are tonites lyrics. Hilarious but funnier if yoiu saw the guys singing it.
Here goes:::::
Lives are like retractable pencils,
You push them too hard, they’re gonna break.
And people are like paper dolls,
Paper dolls and people, they’re a similar shape.
Love is like a roll of tape.
It’s real good for making 2 things 1.
But just like a roll of tape,
love some times breaks off before you are done.
Another way that love is like tape, I’ve noticed
Is sometimes it’s hard to see the end.
You search on the roll, you search on the roll,
You search on the roll with your fingernails.
Again and again.
Brown paper and white paper stickin together
With the tape of love, the sticky stuff.
People, people, paper paper, it’s sticky stuff.
Baby yeah, it’s sticky stuff. The tape of love.
---------
Catch a rerun. It will really be worth it.
Just got off the bike. No flat. I outran the man tonite.

OMG I have a problem
Alright, what am I going to do about this one? I can't get Kelly Clarkson's song, "Sober" out of my head. Seriously. No seriously. I'm not kidding. I got up at 2:00 am because the cat jumped up on me, took a walk through the house to see if we had an earthquake and it started playing in my head. "Three months and Iiiiii...iiii ...iii am, still soooooobbeeerrrrr". It plays over and over and over in my head. This is good news because it's a destined hit. But really, I wish that song from the restaurant "What A Friend We Have in Jesus" would come back (see earlier post for explanation). It just plays as background music to my waking life, like I am stuck on an elevator with a one song musak. Even reading online my All My Children recaps wasn't enough to distract me.
Send me good thoughts people. I may go mad. But I am going to Target first to buy the cd, so I can see the pretty pictures, boost her sales, and read the liner notes. haha. I tried to buy it the other night but it was SOLD OUT! Yippy!
Bye.
PS: Here's the link to YouTube of her performance of Sober at Live Earth. She sang Walk Away, Sober, Never Again, Since You Been Gone, and she rocked. Hope this song gets stuck in your head too! http://youtube.com/watch?v=osq_EHCGcWg

Reba to the Rescue
Not that Kelly Clarkson needs rescuing, just someone in her corner of the ring. I have a little bit of interesting news I uncovered mining the wide wide world of web tonite. Most of you have probably heard that Kelly fired her manager after the cancelling of her tour. She fired "The Firm" and it was announced this week that "Starstruck Entertainment" is taking over the management of Kelly C. Starstruck is headed up by CEO Narvel Blackstock. Who? He's Mr. Reba McEntire. yep, Reba has set her girl Kelly up with her man Narvel. And, even though he is CEO, he is personally handling her management. Furthermore, Reba has just recorded a country version of "Because of You" that she and Kelly arranged together and performed on CMT Crossroads. She has included it on her next album. Ka-Ching for KC, as Kelly wrote that song when she was 16 years old. Hello? And, as a #1 Hit, it also won her the ASCAP Song of the Year award last year.
Being included on Reba's album will definitely broaden her fan base. I look to see alot of albums flying off the shelf as a result of her participation in the Live Earth concerts today. Many industry watchers believe that her 'missteps' were not missteps at all and that Reba, who is notorious for going against industry execs in her career, has had a hand in Kelly's recording of My December for some time. Kelly wrote or co-wrote every song on My December, which is hilariously referred to as the "Jagged Little Idol" album by one columnist.
As I said, if you are a fan of Kelly, I don't think the MUSIC is bad...it's the vibe of the lyrics that people are getting caught up in. Yes, she yells like Amy Lee in some songs, but so what? Scott Stapp sounded like Pearl Jam to me and still does. Joss Stone imitates what's her bucket...Janis Joplin. Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holiday don't even have different first names they are so alike. Anyway, this concludes today's cheerleading session for Kelly.
Carrie Underwood continues to be EVERYWHERE and is more stunning by the moment. She just won the "Most Beautiful Vegetarian" of 2007 award. What a weird one. Evidently a big deal, and I guess 'beautiful' is "inside and out" in the judging.
Ok, so the funniest thing I saw on tv today was the promo for some new commedian show on E! tv. Some chick...can't remember her name, but he's the recap. Picture 3 gabby gals sitting around at a pub slinging back some cocktails and dishing. One of them is overheard saying...What's up with Angelina Jolie's kids anyway? And that Maddox always is frowning. The other chick pipes up (she is the commedian) "I'll tell you why, 'cuz Maddox thought he won the lottery and his one way ticket out of a 3rd world country, and all Brad and Angie do is drag him to other 3rd world countries. He's pissed, and he wants to know when that bitch is taking him back to Hollywood." Ha ha ha. I will be watching that show.
In other news, Top Chef hostess Padma Loskhmi (sp?) and her hubby Salmon Rushdie are divorcing. And CW had just scooped us with the news that they were married, and now 'kaput'. I need to catch up on Top Chef's too. And I have dropped So You Think You Can Dance. I wholeheartedly HATE that woman who is a cross between Rosie O'Donnell and Roseanne Barr and Marie Osmond. I can't stand her. And I hate Nigel Lythgoe and his hair. And the other judges, whatev.
I love the news about Nick Lachey and VM getting caught in the hot tub f'ing. ha ha. Stupid asses. Don't tell me that they didn't think they would get caught. Puh-leeze. But I do feel bad for that guy, for a little bit. Mostly that he was ever married to that doh-doh bird JSimpson. Vmill doesn't seem to be that amped up in the braincell activity area either. Have you seen the pics of her and LiLo and the knife. yep, that's what I do with my gfriends on Sat. night. Bored, sit around, and take slasher girl in porn pose pics. And then I'm stupid enough to let dumbasses sell them to the tabs. I guess Nick likes them hot and dumb.
Today is the luckiest day of the century. Hope you got lucky 'cuz I got a flat tire on my bike. :(
I don't care though. I love my bike. I came walking up the street and Greg thought I had fallen off. ha ha. He came running up an said "What happened, did you take a header?" He really isn't concerned about my well being that much. He is fascinated about the calamities I get in, really. He just wanted to hear a good crash story and was actually disapointed at a flat tire story. I should have embellished as I usually do, but I was tired.
Guess what? We found out the neighbors have been taking our oranges, which we told them to do, but suddenly we find that they actually taste good. Now that our tree is nearly stripped. haha. Kidding. It's the weirdest thing. The oranges have tasted like ass for so many years and this year, it's like they are on a orange tree sugar drip IV. I ate 2 today!!! I'm having fresh squeezed oj tomorrow, if I can get the ladder out and not fall on my ass. And beat the neighbor to them. Actually, I'm trading him oranges for white corn on the cob. He has to drive the country to get it. He's 75, what else is he gonna' do? I see him eyeballing my tomato plants too.
Well enough of my stupid b'ssing for tonite. I have a slight case of insomnia. Alot of work on my mind which is making me sort of sick. I'll confess, this has been a long post because I am patiently waiting for my newest Jell-O concoction to set in the fridgy. This has kept my mind occupied because I keep going in there and sticking the spoon in and it's still soupy. I have ZERO patience for jell-o setting. I want instant gratification.
ok, bye now.
PS. I miss American Idol.
