So if you follow my Twitter stream at all, which I’m sure you do, then you know I was in Yuma yesterday. I know what you’re thinking. OMG WTF Yuma?! Haha, yes. You see it is pretty much the halfway mark between Phoenix and San Diego and as such it was where Brian of Cheap Blue Guitar and myself decided to meet. Of course it was a year after deciding that we finally did it! I packed up my man Richard and he packed up Dyanna (@dyanna on Twitter) and we each set out on our 250+ mille journeys.

Oi. It’s totally farther than you think. Richard and I arrived a bit early and went off to explore the mall while Brian and Dyanna did their last 40+ miles. Haha. At exactly 2 PM Daniel from danielphillip.com and Brian of cheapblueguitar.com met face to face. So if your internet konked out at that time or you saw a blinding light, now you know why. LOL. Internet personalities collided. Once we did the always weird ‘I read you and chat with you everyday yet NOW we’re meeting’ thing, it was like chatting with old friends. It took a bit tho, because our waiter wouldn’t give us more than 2 minutes alone at a time. Poor ADD kid… Anyhoo, Brian and Dyanna are as awesome as you think. We gabbed a lot, enjoyed the unique culinary flair of The Outback, and the air conditioning. (I don’t know if you know this about Yuma, but it’s hot. It is past all these sand dunes and really in the desert. It was, I kid you not, eleventy million degrees out there.)

So after lunch we decided to treck out and explore the city.. erm, town. It was kinda like a ghost town. There was no one out, what with the oppressive heat. Also there is not much to see. But that in itself made it fun. We’ll always have Yuma! And I have added two more people to my list of Real Life friends!

Pictures were taken and I’ve swiped them all…

Oh my gaaawd. Srsly. Wow.

Okay, where to start? It’s so weird to be home to post the results show. I got used to it being on Thursday. So this one, I have to admit… I used the fast forward function on the ol’ DVR. There was just soo stuff. I think we need to cut the results show down to like 30 minutes already. The American Idol Ford commercials are bad enough without the ‘making of’ thrown in. Am I the only one that thinks so?

So the bottom 3 were kinda predictable to everyone but me. Of course Kristy Lee Cook was a no-brainer. But Carly Smithson? Amanda Overmyer? I was shocked. I figured Chikezie or Ramiele maybe… Sheesh. As it turned out, Amanda is going home. Was I wrong! But really tho, Amanda is out and we have Kristy? Ugh. That is retarded. What are the ‘Vote For The Worst’ people up to anyway? (Okay, I just peeked over there and apparently Amanda WAS who they were voting for. OMG. So America really likes Kristy??)

Bah. What can I tell you about American Idol last night? Not doing a one by one run-down as I watch makes it tough. I can say that it overall did not seem like a good night. First off, it was more Beatles. Bah. Not my favorite, and I feel bad for these kids that have to sing songs they have never experienced first hand. Heck, I didn’t even experience them first hand. Anyhoo, David Cook and Amanda Overmyer stood out for me. I thought they were perhaps the strongest of the night. I think the group I was with also enjoyed Carly Smithson. It was hard to tell, cause when you are in a group, if a performance sucked you tended to gab… We talked a lot last night. And Michael Johns’ ass got rewinded and paused. Apparently I am not the only fan. Heh. He did look good tho. Too bad it’s not a hawtness competition.

I still think Kristy Lee Cook has to go next.

Well, that’s it for our little lap dancer David Hernandez on American Idol. I am kinda sad to see him go. I thought that Kristy Lee Cook shoulda got the axe. But what can you do? My local news just said “A juicy backstory wasn’t enough to keep him on Idol” LOL. I can’t believe they said that! Who cares about the stripping for cry-eye!? I think the gay angle in the story was what hurt more than the stripping… I doubt the gays get many of the teenage girl votes, yanno? I could be wrong tho…
