Desperate Working Mommas
Your one-stop site for fanatical television snarking, questionable political analysis, occasional attempts to address the parenting issues facing working mothers, and halfhearted promises to stop obsessing about the entertainment industry, already! Oh, not to mention the random bitching and moaning. There's always that.

Wait. American Idol was on last night? What?

Well, that was... interesting. Note my use of a neutral, vague adjective. Interesting.

Of course, interesting can go both ways, can it not? But, what?! Could they not get the rights to some actual DECENT musicals?! A little Grease, perhaps? I could so see Carrie singing "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee, lousy Miss Virginity!" Or how about some Phantom or Jesus Christ Superstar? Gosh, even Hair has better music than what we heard last night. Hello? "Age of Aquarius" anyone? HELLO?!

Nikko surprised me (as did his vocally powerful, extraordinarily over-the-top backup singer, for Pete's sake!), and Carrie kicked some serious ass, as usual. Vonzell is no Babs (which is not necessarily a BAD thing), and Bo SO picked the wrong song from Pippin! Anwar, though vocally precise, ruined one of the best songs from Camelot, and Anthony, Simon be damned, was dang cute singing the pop version of "Climb Every Mountain." Get that boy his own boy band, I say! Scott needs to go bye-bye. Is it possible the scandal has broken his spirit? 'Cuz BORING. Nadia lost me. Was she good? I wasn't paying attention.

Oh! and hey. Was it just me, or was Constantine making sweet, sweet love to the microphone and totally screwing the camera with his eyes? His hypnotically sexy eyes... How weird was THAT? Huh. Maybe his contacts were bothering him? What?! Why are you looking at me like that?!

youre right Cat, the songs absolutely sucked. I was thinking the same thing as far as musicals,,,,, OMG, I started thinking that someone would bust out with "Oklahoma" or something the way it was going. So many good musicals. I was hoping Bo would have sang "Hair", the song he picked was awful. And I gotta give it to you, Constantine was .... the best.... aghhh, I said it, now I gotta go hurl.

Anonymous TGIM: How DARE you? Cut his HAIR?! (said in Marcia Brady voice)

HOW DARE YOU!

You are dead to me!

First off, TGYM, if Bo cut his hair, he wouldn't be able to waggle it. The soul patch? That can go.

When I heard the theme, I was so hoping that Constantine would be a smart ass and do "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story, or even "Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair" from South Pacific. That's just me, though.

Oh, mrtl. Your wit, it astounds and humbles me. 'Cuz Bo singing, "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair!" while sporting a silk-screened t-shirt with Constantine's smarmy yet dead sexy mug on it? Priceless.

Arthur Fonzerelli,

Would you be referring to my sweet Constantine and his lovemaking eyes? Or are we talking Blinky? Oh, it has to be my Greek God Idol, no? Uh-oh, the Fonz better start running, eh, Kristine?! Run away! RUN AWAY!

So, Kristine, does this mean you're rethinking the custody battle?

*shaking head*

You too mom? UGH!

My mom just likes Constantine because he has hair. She was married to a bald man for 30 something years.

Cat...when you're ready to change your blog layout, i'm ready to help!!

"Memory! All alone in the MOOOOOOONLIIIIIGHT! I can smile at the OOOOOOLD days! I was BEAUTIFUL then!..."

Remember when American Idol was good, y'all? Do you? (Oh, FINE, I know, I know, save the smartass comments, I KNOW.)

*sigh*

There ARE actually some freaking awesome musicals out there. Why, AI? WHY?!

OMG, I missed Greenthumb declaring that he hearted me! I also missed Cat calling me a ho and telling me she was ready.

I am so out of the loop.

Cat...what'cha want your blog to look like?

Hmm... I had not thought that far ahead, actually. Silly me, always jumping the gun. I want something classy. Or should I go trashy? Ooooh, I know! Something SPRINGTIMEY! With foofy flowers and cutesy ladybugs and wrinkly puppy dogs... Oh, who am I kidding.

Let me stew over it a bit, mm-kay?

Okay, so slap my ass and call me Sally, but I like Scott. I admit it, he really really sucked last night and I think you may be on to something with the whole arrest issue. Last night was sucking big time! I expected better.

I really enjoyed reading a lot of your blog. You are very funny! May I frequent? Pretty please?

Nikko!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TGIM wouldn't let me on the computer last night, so I've been holding that in. Phew! Much better. Ah well, it was just a matter of time.
