I went to this hibachi Japanese grill thingie tonight, and on the menu was "Ichiban" which was a combo or something, and UNAGI!

I was all "ZOMG! Ichiban! Lipstick for men!" "Unagi! It's not something you are, it's something you have!"

I looked retarded, fo' sho'.

1) Pretty sure my mom got Tom Waits tickets, so that's pretty amazing.

2) I have alienated everyone, and I don't know how to fix it without getting so sick I throw up.

I'm either going crazy or losing my memory. Is there a scene where somebody (Chandler?) is explaining the plot of Dangerous Liaisons as "John Malkovich has to sleep with Michelle Pfeiffer to get Glenn Close"? Or something like that? I distinctly remember this quote, but can't find it anywhere and can't remember if it's from Friends or something else.

Help!!

I'm looking to transfer out of Eugene Lang college asap for my sophomore year. Although I love the city, the lack of campus and pretentious attitude of the all the trustifarian students really turned me off, so I'm trying to find a school that will give me a more well rounded college experience.

Could you give me information on either:

SUNY Purchase
New College of Florida

What's the admission process like? How are the classes, social aspects of the school?

Also, please feel free to suggest similar schools! Thanks in advance.

I don't think I've posted here since season 4? 5? God I can't even remember, but I definately still lurk. I've not really cared a whole lot about an AI contestant the past few years, but I guess I got lucky this year because there were soooo many contestants I liked. Also I'm fortunate because the two people I wanted in the top two made it there.

Cook and Archuleta, both insanely good at their music niches. I'm a rocker girl at heart, rock being my favorite genre of music, so of course Cook is going to appeal to me, I knew he'd be one of my favorites the moment I saw his audition. And then there's Archuleta, the kid with the golden voice voice. I literally got chills when I heard him sing Imagine. And I was a total sucker for his homecoming video when he was overwhelmed by the huge crowd that turned out for him.

In the end, I'm voting for Archuleta. Cook's a great performer, but I cannot ignore how amazing this kid's voice is. Cook is slightly favored over Archie on the internet, but I believe it's a lot closer than everyone thinks it is. I truly believe it will all depend on who has the better night, and who picks up the majority of casual voters. It's going to be a pretty epic battle.

( To end this post, how about Archuleta, Cook, and Simon breakdancing? )

It's....it's...over! (Well...as long as you don't have human geography :'D)
Anyone here a senior? Has it kicked in yet that AP's are DONE--FOREVER?

Anyone seen this? Ok, just posted it because I thought it was cute. Especially the Davids!
Love the ending.

Did anyone else catch Syesha's lip synching on Wednesday night? During her song, at the very end, she smiles after singing her final note, however, the note is still playing as she's smiling. Lipsynching? Do they play the track while they sing their goodbye song? Back up singer? I can't figure it out but it's bugging me!

Watch at the very end!

So, I posted this waaaaaay back in my David A community, but I thought a lot of you people here would find it interesting.

So, I forget how, but I am pretty sure I stumbled across David A's account on iLike.

Reasons I believe it's really him:
- Songs were first added in mid-July, a week or so before he even auditioned.
- One of his friends is Mietra, the girl on the show Ryan made a comment about David going to prom with.
- He has songs by his mother on there, including some of his own original songs.
- He has Tiffany Evans's songs on there (the girl who beat him in Star Search), plus former American Idol contestants.
- He has all of his favorite artists that he's mentioned added on there.
- Because it's "David A" and not "David Archuleta," they're not the "same person" on that site.

ANYWAY, I'm posting this because I think he has a huuuuuuuge variety of favorite artists/songs on there and you might be surprised.

That is, if it's him. Which seems very likely.

Under the cut. :)

Yeah It's been a month... i suppose there should be lots and lots to update about
but the real reason I'm writing is because I'm stressed and cranky. Mostly I think because I've been using google calendar and it makes me very very sad to see how little free time I have! and there's like no end in sight. when I schedule in my head i see the end of every week as it's own identiy. so saturday starts my week and friday ends it and I always get SOME free time in there. when I schedule on google, my life is 3 months long (nothing scheduled after the summer after I move) and therefore my 30 min of free time doesn't seem as exciting.

alex and I are doing real well he's the reason that i have little free time. I met his friends, and we've been going to the gym all the time. his birthday was like 2 week ago. he had a garage sale last week. went running today before the gym and enjoyed laughing and talking about racism and stuff with sweat dripping down our faces. it's quite odd and only sort of disconcerning.

Went to awesome 80's prom last week for kim's bachlorette party! It was quite awesome! I really like all of kim's friends! they rock y'all!!!! Kim's getting married and I can't wait for th ewedding! We surprised kim with 80's clothes and she laughed as we walked up the driveway. took the train and the conductor gave her free ticket and the guy kept honking the horn.

Yesterday was crazy and probably the real reason I'm writing now.

First.. it was a real day off. I woke up at 9, Jazzed, home, layed out in sun at the park and did homework. got advice from sue on my IEP. dyed hair, left around 3 to go to school. Around exit 61 on the LIE I feel somthing. Look down and there is a mouse on my foot on the gas petal. I say "OH MY GOD!" and swerve a little. my heart races. it scurries under my seat. I think WHAT DO I DO! Should i pull over, and probalby not be able to catch him? do i keep driving knowing there might be more? I'm transporting this small animal, he needs to pay for gas! anyway I kept driving. I had to go to the verizon store and to get my nails done before class. I have my prioritie.s what was the mouse going to do? eat me? seriously.

So i got my phone replaced. the backlight on the bottom row of the keyboard went out. so they gave me a new one but all my settings are changed. suckkkks

i made it to class, did my IEP presentation. last day of academic classes EVER for undergrad. it was one class and lasted 40 min. picked up my UNIT which made me mad because I got 7 pts off for it being a week. 7 out of 30! like seriously.

Called nina, I was going to hang out with her. she had to pick jay up so she wasn't sure about logistics. more about this later.

on my way home I'm chatting with Josh on the phone., around exit 47, i hear a weird noise and my car starts to shake. I say CRAP Josh I gotta go. Hang up and pull ove.r I get out and walk around my car. I look at the wheels, and one is riding on the rim. SHIT! I get back in the car to think about my options. CAll dad, just alteast for moral support, or just jack it up myself. Suddenly a cop pulls up behind me with lights on. CRAP!! he saw me on the phone. He tells me over the loud booming mic thing to come talk to him on the passenger side. I do and he says I can't stay there to change a flat, to go to the next exit and into gas station. He followed me with lights on. police escort. He asks if I have a jack. I say yes. he calls for backups. so i go 15 mph down the exit ramp and into gas station and two other police cars with jacks show up! i take out the crowbar and spare and he says that he'll take care of it! so i watched as a police man changed my tire. it was kinda weird. then another car came with another jack. crazy right!

So I get to christinas, and we are hanging for a few min, she's showing me her room in the new place after i flipped teh light switch she had just gotten finished telling me not to flip and I hear a familiar voice in the livingroom. someone picked up jay... and it was eric. yup, random but it was good. awekward as fuckin hell but good. we all kinda talked as a group. i remember how boring he could be about some things. Like I'm glad he has a retirement fund and I know he cares very very deeply about money but it's relaly not overly important. I also remember also how fun and how perfect we were together in some regards, such as retardedness. we actualled Jinxed twice. weird. he's balder. he lost weight for awhile apparently but got off his diet because he's dating someone new again. It was so weird. he tried to avoid eye contact with me I think. and there were a few things that I said that were retarded and weird and he laughed a little to himself and i think tried not to let me see. when I told him about the mouse and the flat tire he said that he missed keri stories. It's best that we got all of this out of the way now and not at Kaeden's first birthday party next week!!

today was K4K rehearsal after preschool and cleaning out my car to prevent mice (MAJOR clean...) and after gym. I took off sat for after the wedding so I dont' have to Rush to a show.
tomrorow night gonna hang and drink and clean up the prop closet with mark and gab. weird.
preschool's been crazy. i'm lukes unofficial (meaning not paid the extra $1) personal. so i've gotten bitten twice.

I for one have always thought this would be a close finale if it was DAVID v DAVID. Now that it's here and i've been reading up and looking at polls and dial idol stats... I'm not so sure.

screencap of the poll on ai.com.

( which contestant are you most excited to see in the finale? )

Something tells me the last option is a spoiler & they up and put the name there.. Anyway, the poll isn't working for me right now, but maybe later! (Yeah, you'll see who I'm most excited to see, too..)

Does everyone think that this David vs. David is going to be a closer race than Ruben vs. Clay?

I say YES. Thoughts??

Archie looks wee lol.
