Why didn't anyone tell me...

...that there were American Idol auditions in Philadelphia? I could have been a STAR!!!!

Here are my observations on tonight's programme:

1. Do not name your daughter 'Temptress'. There is no circumstance in her life where this will be a positive thing.
2. If someone tells you that your voice is like that of Paul Robeson, they are lying. No one sings like Paul Robeson and you shouldn't try.
3. Belly dancing costumes won't get you through. Especially if you are male and overweight. Even when you get your chest hair waxed off.
4. Being a Star Trek geek won't get you through, either. Even if you do wear Princess Leia hair. Throwing a tantrum about it afterwards just makes you look stupid.
5. Even Simon is nice. Sometimes.
6. If you are Obsessed With Paula Abdul, it is not a good idea to write a song about stalking her and sing it on national television. The security guards will be called. Though kudos for the Columbo reference - 'Peter Falk her' does indeed rhyme with 'stalk her'.

No one really stood out as a possible winner, but you never know who might improve and who we didn't get to hear.

Those things might not get you through to the next round but if your only aim is to make a fool of yourself on national TV, they just might work.

There were absolutely no Georgette Heyer books in the library this morning. I was quite put out as I was in the mood to read one after our discussion yesterday. *Pouts unbecomingly.*

I hope you complained to the library. That is wholly unacceptable - Heyer books should ALWAYS be available.

I looked on the caalogue and they were all out! I can hardly complain to the library because there's been a summer rush on Georgette Heyer books.
