Oh! Jason Castro...how I heart you so.

First off...
Let me just say right here and now I hope Danny Noriega is voted off of Idol this week! I cannot stand him. He irritates the absolute fire out of me. The End.

Second off...
I am an absolute, skraight up Jason Castro fan! I heart his voice, his shyness (oh so adorable), his b-e-a-utiful eyes, his cool hair, his abilities to play more than one instrument, and most of all... He loves him some Jesus! Yes, yes, yes...he wins!



I'm not a too big fan of Chris Rice, but he's got some good stuff...but that's not the moral of my story on this post.

So, Jason totally redeemed himself tonight on Idol. I wasn't too terribly enthused about his performance last week, but he made it to this week with it and proved to America why they made the correct decision of keeping him on. The End.

Third off...
Who else, besides Danny Noriega, would I like to see leave this week? Let's see...

Kady Malloy: Her personality and imitations are the only thing keeping her on.
Asia'h Epperson: Annoying drama queen #1a
Ramiele Malubay: Annoying drama queen #1b
Luke Menard: His hot looks are the only thing keeping him on.
Chikezie: I don't think Idol is his thing. He could totally rock it not on Idol.
David Cook: Has this sense of arrogance that radiates off of him, very unattractive quality (and not meant just as looks unattractive).

*Yes, I realize this is more than will actually be cut, but these are my choices. So, any of these can leave this last week....

Who I would love to see win this thang? David Hernandez
Why? He wants it the most.
No, no... Wrong David. Don't you meant David Archuleta? Nope. He has some growing up to do. He wants it, and you'd think he wants it the most, but he only wants it because it's American Idol. D. Hernandez wants it because it's music and performing and he has something to prove. D. Archuleta has nothing to prover because he knows he can do this. Watch the two closely and you may see what I'm talking about. If not, sorry...can't really explain it very well. The End.

Fourth and final off...
I am watching The Secret of Nimh. Nicodemus was really quite creepy. When I was little he always creeped me out. Still does a bit. Oh, and totally had a cartoon crush on Justin. So wanted him and Ms. Frisby to hook up (still do), even though she was barely a year old widow.

Here's to hoping Danny gets kicked off!

The End.

"Jenna! I weight 101, I've never weighed more than 100lbs.!"

Jenna: "Get out of my house."

So, if you haven't had the privilege of hearing the band Addison Road, might I suggest you go and do such. Seriously, go on YouTube, MySpace, iTunes, whatever and listen to them. They are really, really good. Oh, and a plus, they got some Jesus lovin' in 'em. Yeah, they do.

The lead singer of the group, Jenny Simmons, has a blogger (which the link can be found in The Geek Wagon and in this post) and I very much suggest reading it too. She's quite the humorous. 

The link is: http://jennysimmons.blogspot.com/


Shameless Plug #2
Our church has joined with about eight other churches to do the music of 3:16 -- based on the book 3:16 written by Max Lucado. We will be performing this on 3/16 (which I didn't catch that until this past Sunday...sad, I know.) at Cathedral of the Cross. Free admission for anyone interested in coming. Show starts at 6p.m. that evening. Let me say it is a definite time of worship that anyone should experience. The music definitely is contemporary in the feel (and lyrics) but has traditional roots grounding it -- best form of musical worship, in my opinion.

Anyone reading this and interested in coming, you are more than welcome! Bring your friends and family! Childcare will be provided if you need that option.


Shameless Plug #3
Watch the office. Yes, I do realize this has nothing to do with music. I also realize that this is random, but seriously...watch it. It is crazy funny...

The End.

"What’s the ratio of Stanley nickels to Schrute bucks?"

"Same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns."

Okay, okay, okay. The Office gods are smiling down upon me. Two in one week!

In my previous post I mentioned about the Dwight Schrute definition of a hero, tonight...at choir practice...The Jinx and No Coke.

Seriously! This is crazy funny!

So, my friend Ashley and I are sitting in choir practice and the choir director tells the choir we'll be leaving soon and we turn to each other, at the same time, say, "Promises, promises." And after a split-second pause Ashley says, "Jinx!"

We both start laughing... Me silently and she quietly -- we're still in choir.

We are absolutely in a fit of laughter because we just keep thinking about the episode of The Office when Pam jinxes Jim and he can't talk all day because the vending machine is out of cokes. It is a definite funny episode that you must see if you haven't already.

Anyway. So, I go along with the rules and don't speak. Ashley's crackin' up because 1) I'm going along with this in honor of the show and 2) she keeps threatening to call me out and put me in a position to speak when, technically, I can't -- just like Pam did to Jim. Then, as choir is rapping up a few people are talking to me which makes Ashley laugh even more which makes me get a tough case of giggles.

Oh! Did I mention I didn't have money to go to the vending machine? Yeah... I totally wrote a note and bummed it off of someone, booked it to the gym, bought a coke and ran back to Ashley...who was laughing, still, at me.

Okay, it was funny to us.

The End.

"You look cute today, Dwight."

Dwight: "Thanks, girl."

So...as I mentioned before, I have very much gotten into The Office. You watch these episodes and wonder, "Man, when could I possibly put something in Jell-O?" or, "Wow, when could I use that Dwight quote, because that's really a rare moment in real life that that would come up."

I GOT MY MOMENT TODAY IN SUNDAY SCHOOL!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

No lie.

So, as our S.S. leader is beginning lesson, the first question out of her mouth is, "What's your definition of a 'hero'?"

A light from Heaven shone down upon our classroom and a host of angels sang. It was beautiful. You almost could cry, it was that beautiful (why would I lie about this?).

I looked across at Ryan (one of those who has contributed to my new fandom of this show), smile, and began to quote (not word-for-word...not there yet) Dwight's definition of a hero. We just started laughing. I couldn't even finish saying it without laughing. It was too perfect.

I mean, seriously?! That's not typical, everyday conversation right there...

Anyway. One of the two Dwight's def. of a hero quotes is as followed:

"The guys who wake up every morning and go into their normal jobs, and get a distress call from the commissioner, and take off their glasses and change into capes, and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes."

That's really all I have to say... I'm still over the moon about this.

The End.

P.s., I took the Official NBC's Which Office Character Are You quiz, and I was Pam. Totally didn't rig it to come out like that either.
