Random Thursday Thoughts

"Good morning to you all. Good morning Miss Piep!"

Sorry, just had a primary school flashback! Just at work at the moment. Only ended up starting my new job today. So far it's going well. Just doing data entry work. A lot more relaxed than the heticness (is that a word?) of the IT department. So I have officially now hung up my "computer geek" cap and put away my Star Trek jumpsuit!

I am absolutely gutted! My favourite American Idol finalist, Chris Daughtry, got kicked off last night.
I'm sure that any of the guys in Australia that are reading this right now, have already slipped into a daydream filled with ice cold beers and Aussie Rules football just at the mention of the words "American Idol". Seriously, he was one of the favourites to win. The judges were absolutely in shock. They thought he was going to win as well. You can check it out at http://www.americanidol.com/videos/?vid=327
I can't believe it. He was a real rock star. His voice sounded similar to Eddie, the guy from Live. He was soo totally hot too even though he's married with a couple of kids. That's it, I'm boycotting the show from now on. What am I saying? I'm totally addicted! So now, there's Taylor Hicks (this old dude with white grey hair that dances like a drunk dad at a wedding), Elliott Yamin (has a friar tuck haircut) and Katharine McPhee (beautiful goddess) left. They're all good. Taylor is a bit annoying though. Katharine has the best voice out of all of them but I have a feeling that Taylor Hicks might take the cake. He's 29, has a Joe Cocker kind of voice and is very unique. There hasn't been a contestant like him ever. So I think that uniqueness may set him apart from the rest. I soo wanted Chris to win. There's no doubt that he will get a huge recording contract straight away from this. I'd definitely buy his CD. Hmmm, the talent of the American Idols is so unbelievably (again another non-existent word) better than the Australian Idols. Hmmph??!!! Guy Sebastian!! And no, the only reason I went to the concert was because my 15 yr old cousin begged me to take her and her friends. YES, OF COURSE NICKY!!!! Sorry to spoil the results for anyone in Australia. Don't even think they have started showing this season of American idol yet there. We're always so behind the times with good American TV shows. I love Scrubs too here. It's good to be able to watch the show at a reasonable time at night. Not like in Australia. Zach Braff is absolutely hilarious!

Besides from that I am feeling a lot better. I am happy because the Rome Tennis Masters Cup is on at the moment. Go Andy! Roddick that is for you ignorant tennis fans! As you all know, I'm a mad tennis fan and luuurve Andy. Yeah, now he's in the quarters. It's perfect timing when I go home for lunch everyday, the tennis is on cable. Haven't caught one of Roddick's matches yet but hopefully I will soon. He better keep on winning. I have been catching a few of Nadal's matches. I must say he is my new favourite player but still 2nd to Andy! He's an awesome clay court player and he's such a little bebe. He is soo quick, agile and such a smart player and he's only 19! He's soo cute. You just want to squeeze his cheeks! He looks like a little monkey too (which obviously appeals to me as I'm such a monkey lover!) Massive respect to him as he's the only one on the tour at the moment that has beaten Federer more times than Federer has beaten him! Go Rafa!

Caught up with some friends last night. We were going to go for a walk down English Bay (where the beach is) but we just ended up going and eating at Dairy Queen. Really good for the waistline! Dairy Queen rocks! I wish we had it in Australia. Had Poutine (chips, gravy and cheese all mixed together). Mmmmm, it's delicious!

Better go do some work. Thanks to Kath and Pammie from LA for the comments!

Luv Knickers xxxxxxx
