Goodnight, Mark!

I'm going to malinger for a non-specific length of time and even though I slammed my hand, I'll walk with a limp like Dr. House for awhile. When nobody's looking I'll lift analogue tv sets, bedroom sets and enter iron man competitions to get the t-shirt.

I'll get nothing in the end. LOL I used to work in workers' comp claims. I saw malingerer videos way before there was youtube.

[silent_jonny]

Ha!

My brother chatted from Vegas not to tell him about AI cuz it wasn’t on there yet. Like we don’t know what happens on AI.

I saw a tall blonde girl with a big nose in one of the cut rooms—had to be her, LOL

[silent_jonny]

I’ve tried to like Bones and I just can’t. It’s too corny.

It really is. If it didn't follow Idol I'd never see it.

FLORIDUH VOTER: FIRST INJURY ON AI THREAD

Thank you, Silent_jonny.

I'd like to thank my cat who cried like an American Idol reject to get my attention thus causing my hand injury when I slammed it into my ladder after picking said cat up to make him happy.

(finally first at something!) It already stopped hurting.

See you next week, AI freepers.

I stared watching the new criminal minds bau special whatever, but I changed the channel after about 10 minutes.

Is that the one with Garafalo? Pass on that too.

The orignial Criminal Minds is pretty good. It's nice to watch a crime show where people don't act like they're in junior high (Bones, NCIS)

[silent_jonny]

I miss the LAW & Order when Jerry Orbach was on.

He made that show. I usually stopped watching an episode after his part was over.

[silent_jonny]

LOL, Welcome back, GRRRRR!

I don't blame you for bailing out last year. It was awful.

[Miss Didi]

Yes, he does!

[silent_jonny]

We have had a couple of FR AI babies, though. Twins, even!

Hey that's right! We need a twin update :)

[silent_jonny]

Ciao, Didi! :)

It's just that one night. Anyway, I think they should be forced to sing something they may not be comfortable with AND have to prepare for it in a short time. Those that are meant for this should be able to handle it.

Maybe they should have done that earlier, but I guess it would have weeded out too many too fast.

[Netizen]

Is that the one with Garafalo? Pass on that too.

That's precisely why I changed the channel!

I wish they would change Penelope's hair back to blonde and whatever colors. I hate that solid red hair on her. Its too harsh and looks like hell on her.

[Miss Didi]

I guess we all had the same google image idea. ;)

[Miss Didi]

Steven claps a bit like Pauler.

[Miss Didi]

Ciao, Gianni...miss being on the “live” thread these days.

Hi, SJ! Well, since you asked, a twin update: Our boys (fraternal) will be four in March! I can’t believe it. They are rather large for twins, and people often ask if they are five, instead of three. We still haven’t cut their hair, and it is down past their waists. (For a long time we never cut it because it really is beautiful — they are both blonde with curly, silky hair. But now they are old enough to have opinions — G*d help us all!— and they tell me they don’t *want* to cut their hair. So here we are with a pair of verrrrry long-haired boys ... I hope we get it cut eventually! I think I may have to put my foot down to get it done, though.) They are extraordinarily energetic, and an amazing amount of fun when they are not irritating me beyond belief. :) It is kind of like living with a pair of high-IQ monkeys!

You can see how this cuts into my AI-viewing time. :)

Actually, my biggest obstacle to thread participation (besides my West Coast venue) is the screenwriting group I’ve been attending on Wednesday nights. By the time I get home afterward, I don’t really feel like starting to view AI, and then I get behind by days instead of hours.

But I miss you guys!!!! I’m going to have to find a way around this.

See ya in the funny papers.... :)

Anyone else notice that Scottie McCrery (sp) was in group 1 and group 4? I thought that I saw him in group 1 and went back and toward the end just before the announcement is made, they zoom in on a black girl with blond highlights and then I progressed frame by frame and there he is to her left.....interesting. Guess they wanted him featured in group 4 for the drama effect????

Did any of the youngsters from the good group from yesterday progress on? I didn't see any of them anywhere.
