American Idol - Season 172
What season is this? Five, Six, or Seven. I can’t remember.
Here’s my favorites:
- David Cook
- Carly Smithson
- Michael Johns
- Amanda Overmyer
Poor little David Archleta. He bombed this week. Forgot the words, forgot the tune, got tortured by the judges. Ouch! Let’s hope he makes it through to next week. He’s so darn cute.
An Apron & Rubber Gloves
I dislike getting filthy. Messy…sure. Dirty…okay. But filthy..NO. The idea of being covered in filth or slime just freaks me out. I won’t pretend to speak for all women, but I’m sure many would agree with me. And the beautiful thing is that guys love getting filthy. Well…most guys…there are exceptions.
Look, I don’t mind having bread dough or meatloaf covering my fingers, and the thought of sticking my hand in a turkey doesn’t freak me out. I’ll clean a toilet without gloves, gut and scale a fish, change a baby’s diapers, and get dirt under my fingernails from working in the garden.
I dress down to clean the house. I wear an apron when I cook. I have a special set of clothes covered in 432 shades of paint. And NOW…I have pellet stove cleaning clothes.
You must be sick and tired of hearing me talk about my pellet stove. Too bad. I had to clean it this past weekend and I don’t have a great need to suffer alone. If more women had to clean pellet stoves, and get covered from head to toe in ash, someone would invent a self-cleaning pellet stove.
Men like getting dirty. So dirty they use lava rocks and turpentine to scrub their hands. What’s that about? I’m thankful when the pellet stove is clean, I just wish I wasn’t the one with ash up my nose. I hereby embrace traditional gender roles. Viva la difference!
SA Kenneth Hosey and Client 9’s Dirty Little Secret
Tonight I read through the criminal complaint against The Emperor’s Club VIP and the four people alleged to have run it. As a result of the investigation, Client 9 (allegedly the Governor of New York) had his “meeting” detailed for all the world to see. Based on the pages and pages of info provided by SA Kenneth Hosey (FBI), it didn’t appear that they were targeting Client 9, just that he stepped in to the web and got stuck. I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before.
I’m not excusing Client 9’s (alleged) actions, nor am I interested in following the case. It is was it is - Client 9 will have his day in court. But good grief, Agent Hosey was working overtime. The guy typed up 55 pages of AKA’s, dates, times, and more. You should check out his outline.
In his application for a warrant (pg. 9), Hosey says: “I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (*FBI*) for approximately twelve years. During that period, I have participated in investigations involving surveillance, undercover transactions, the introduction of undercover agents, debriefings of informants, and reviews of recorded conversations and documents. I have also participated in numerous arrests.
He’s a busy guy. I wonder if he surfs the internet on his break? I wonder if he’s ever had lunch with Senior Agent Jack Malone? Ha! I hope they give Hosey a much needed vacation. Most of the attention for this case will go to Client 9…I just thought Hosey deserved a little attention.
Wonders Never Cease
It’s taken awhile but DSL has finally arrived in Potlatch, Idaho. Three cheers to Verizon for getting their act together and offering all 792 of us fast internet connection.
So, tonight I activated my account and set up the wireless network. WeeeeeHooooo! I walked around the house with my laptop and I get access everywhere. Even in the basement sitting in front of the pellet stove. How sweet is that?
My first blog post from home using DSL. I am a happy girl.
