Public radio’s pledge drives…

It’s pledge time for public radio here in Hartford, and WNPR is on the prowl for donations. Now, I listen all the time and I am a member, but I can’t help but wonder if they would make ten times or a hundred times the money they make now if there was a way to … Read more

EQ2 – Game Update #46

I spent hours last night running around Norrath on Test, killing stuff and doing quests, just so I could write about the Void Storms coming in EQ2’s Game Update 46. Is the next expansion The Void? Or is this just a red herring? Regardless, the appearance armor and weapons are kind of cool and there … Read more

Liveblogging American Idol 2 hour finale — Spoilers!

Ryan says one David got 56% of the 96 million votes, the other, 44%. This is about the separation over at DialIdol. http://dialidol.com/asp/predictions/Predictions.asp
Hometown crowds are loving their Davids.
Top 12 singers on stage singing the Temptations’ “Get Ready”. It’s nice to see them all again. I dunno how I get so attached to them every year. They’re doing some cool dancing. Where’s Amanda Overmayer? Lol… those dance moves are scary. The AI companion show, “So You Think You Can Dance”, starts Thursday. I think it’s a subtle plug. Brooke looks great tonight. David Cook looks hot. Seeing Carly makes me happy.
And off to commercial.
Oh Ford commercial. I’d hate to be running a car company in this economy. Discussing their search for alternative fuels. Isn’t the Ford F-150 monster truck their best seller? I wonder about its mileage? 13 MPG city. WTG Ford.
Back to AI.
David C coming out, leather jacket, gravelly voice, singing “Hero”. It’s a duet with David A. OMG they sound FANTASTIC TOGETHER. David A’s high voice against David C’s gravel I LOVE THIS PAIRING. They were great.
Ryan coming on with a segue to a fake mentor spoof to advertise Michael Meyer’s guru movie. I guess they made the Davids go to this. It looks awful. LOL Michael Meyers as Guru doing Sitar Hero. Okay. I liked that. Okay more useless idiocy. Meyes is doing in character riffing on David C for his stubble and David A for the perils of puberty. I was wondering what had happened to Michael Meyers. I wonder what happened to Dana Carvey?
Okay that segment was stupid and useless. Oh and now they have Meyers in costume here. Because that has what to do with singing or American Idol? Oh wait, it has nothing to do with it. If I were not watching this live, I would be skipping it. As it is, I have muted it.
Okay, save point. Please continue reading after the jump 🙂

All votes are final

Om Fox last night, we got to see the judges fawn over teen belter David Archuletta and damn indie-rocker David Cook with faint praise. Really. If David C. were a girl, Paula would have told him he looked lovely. However, DialIdol.com predicts that opinions of the judges aside, David C. has won this by a … Read more
