RANDOM THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0–The judges on American Idol <\/em>must think that they\u2019re handing out opinions to the contestants on Opposite Day. Just about everyone they deem great is, in actuality, awful, and vice versa. What are they listing to??? When Mr. X and I agree on something, trust me, that means we\u2019re correct, because it rarely happens.<\/p>\n

–Speaking of AI<\/em>, if there\u2019s fairness in the world, the awful, full-tressed Tim Urban will leave tonight, along with either the little boy, whose name I don\u2019t even remember (a first for me with this show,) the flat-more-often-than-not, ear-cringing, constantly-worried-looking Lee Dewyze, and any girls except for Crystal Bowersox. And how good of a singer does someone have to be for her to be my favorite while obviously missing teeth?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"imagescao5sasm\"–Last AI<\/em> comment–I\u2019ll give you a second to think of whose life story the beautiful Todrick Hall should play, both musically and visually, right down to those light eyes they both rock? Ready for the answer? Smokey! Robinson, for those of you who need his last name. Mr. X got the answer in a nano-second, and said he had already thought of that himself.<\/p>\n

\u00a0–I\u2019m facing back surgery to remove a \u201chumongous\u201d herniated disk. I really hate surgery. So, I have two questions on the topic: a) How do so many people opt for elective surgery? I don\u2019t even want to do necessary stuff!!! Which brings me to b) do any of you have experience in this area? If so, please leave a comment to let me have your insights.<\/p>\n

–Many people ask why I won\u2019t take the pain meds, anti-imflammatories, and muscle relaxer cocktail that everyone, including doctors, think I should. Here\u2019s my answer: Brittany Murphy, Corey Haim, that Samoan wrestler who died last year, and Heath Ledger. Enough said.<\/p>\n

\"0309_etrade2_commercial\"–How dare Lindsay Lohan say that the baby on the new E-trade commercial is supposed to be her because they have the same first name! I always thought the little girl looks just like Kelly Osbourne, and she\u2019s not suing.<\/p>\n

–This is the first season I\u2019m thinking of sitting out Dancing With the Stars<\/em>. I was so happy that they got rid of that inane chick who co-hosted, (though I think I actually lost weight when she came on, from vomiting,) but then they replaced her with the I-still-don\u2019t-know-who-she-is, boring Brooke somebody, who erroneously beat Warren Sapp just because the phenomenal magician, Derek Hough, was her professional partner.<\/p>\n

Then, on top of that, my most reviled Olympian, maybe ever, Even Lysacek is on the show. Pay attention folks–the nights they rag on him, he\u2019ll claim he was sick or something, like he always has done with skating. I pray he gets voted off early, but since middle Americans love a gold medalist, I have a feeling he\u2019ll be there awhile. And, as much as I hate to admit it, he does have great posture.<\/p>\n

–Speaking of his gold medal, prejudices aside, I still feel that Yevgeny Pluschenko should have won it. Yes, he was a little careful in his long program, which made him lose a point and half (about) to Lysacek. But he should have beaten him in the short program by at least five points, which would have made him win the whole competition.<\/p>\n

But the games took place in North America, so there you have it. Remember when they gave that Canadian pair a second gold medal after the Russians had won it fair and square, when the Olympics took place in Salt Lake City? When the scores from the judge they dismissed that time \"main_179\"were thrown-out, the Russian pair had still won. So I feel that the Olympic committee just couldn\u2019t take the pressure from the North Americans, and awarded the Canadians a gold, too. Both of these nonsensical scorings make me turn away from my beloved Olympics just a tad.<\/p>\n

–Have any of you seen the pictures of 75-year-old Sophia Loren in a mini-skirt, with her chest popping-out? That women is now my idol! And it doesn\u2019t hurt that she\u2019s so attractive and sexy, even with a big nose. You go, girl!<\/p>\n
