Good Golly Miss Dolly

A Quickie on Top 10 Performances: Last week we saw the elimination of poor Chikezie, who I thought didn't deserve to get the boot even though he schmoozed through a Brian McKnight song. Kristy Lee Cook gets sympathy votes from her fellow Americans by singing "God Bless The USA" (a clever, albeit desperate, choice of song) and survives another round of elimination. Syesha sang well but is forgettable. Carly Smithson looks so much better with straight hair and whilst I love "Total Eclipse of The Heart" it reminds me of karaoke. Brooke White sang a fair version of The Police's "Every Breath You Take", and Simon is of course spot on when he says she should have stuck to the piano and done it without the band. Jason Castro is getting lazy. Ramiele Malubay shrieked her way through Heart's "Alone" and really, the cute act is starting to get old. Michael Johns rocked the house down with his Queen's medley. I am increasingly getting irritated with David Cook's "alternative" versions of songs, even IF he fesses up. And David Archuleta? Well he pretty much chose the wrong song didn't he?

This week Top 9 Performances of Miss Dolly Parton's songs, no one blipped my radar nor rocked my boat quite like Michael Johns, who sang "Its All Wrong, But Its All Right" OH SO SEXILY.

Myumyum.

Flying Penguins

Most evenings Bobby and I sit on our daybed in the orange verandah and tell each other tales we get off the internet. This evening he told me about the flying penguins story he read on the Telegraph Online. "Come see the pictures", he said. So I peered over and saw these plump penguins zooming through the air on the Telegraph site.

"Huh. Flying Penguins. Who would've thought penguins could fly eh."

I thought I'd do a post about penguins taking flight since its been a slow news day. As I was saving the picture for my post, I got to thinking about how terribly cute and sturdily plump penguins were and no, nope, they really don't look like they could fly.

No way.

Damn it. Bobby got me and he got me good.
