TV Zzz

I was a TV whore tonight. Lots of flipping tells me interest just wasn't there. Bits of SVU, CI, Idol, House, Shield, Dancing with the Stars...

I listened to the Idol performances online. Wow was it dreary. I tuned in anyway.

Covering a Clapton song, Chris sounded out of tune to me but he got ample praise while Blake was criticized although praised for sincerity on "Imagine." Blake had a voice 'squeak' on the first falsetto point but he looked great and sounded sincere in a way he didn't on "Love Song" or even "Somewhere Only We Know." I thought it well done although I thought him seated on a high chair next to the piano looked odd.

That said, I think Blake is at great risk for elimination. I'm not sure what was more dreary tonight, the songs or the Secrest-as-poverty pimp. LaKisha got dissed for yelling on Fantasia's first single "Believe." The show was pre-taped on Monday.

At this point I've lost interested in who wins Idol. When Blake leaves, so will I, and even he's not doing a lot to excite me.

House was even more dreary with the patient actually dying because of a simple infection because of a misdiagnosis. I guess it reminded me of Mother on some level.

The Shield did nothing for me tonight. I'm hoping Vick is killed in the line of duty. Next week it looks like Shane admits to what he did but who is he telling?

I got my meds called in. They still have my old phone number on file so I had to call more than once to deal with the automated system. My headache is getting fierce. I don't know if it's a lack of calories or eye strain. Aussies had a holiday today. Duckie refused to admit he misses work. :D
