...and her name was Veronica

Which Veronica Mars Character Are You?

Oh how I miss you Veronica Mars. You were such a good show. But alas you are gone and crap like Jericho is still alive.

Further proof that I'm destined to be single


How funny is this? I watch both of these shows and these are literally two of my least favorite characters on each show. So of course it would make perfect sense that they are my ideals. Note to self: re-think your entire approach to interacting with everyone...lol.

The 5-Night Stand

I'll be honest I don't really get relationships. I'll save the specifics of that statement for another post where you all are free to analyze my broken psyche to your hearts content. That being said, I am actually making an effort to make myself more relationship friendly. Just when I thought I was making some progress, I had to go and take this quiz. I believe the results speak for themself, and if they didn't my friends did. It amazed me how dead on the results were according to my friends. My one bright spot? My friend Chris says that I was previously probably a one-night stand and now i've upgraded to 5- night stand. Baby steps Jason, baby steps.

Note: I tried to post the quiz results on here, but I couldn't get it to fit in the post, it kept cutting off part of it. So here is my result and the quiz itself.

Oh Yes It's Ladies Night

So the ladies were up tonight and the theme was the 70s, just like it was for the guys. I have to say I feel like the guys had a better night than the ladies, but regardless, here is my ranking of the performances.
  1. Brooke White - "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon...My friend Shane is sick of hearing about this one. From the beginning I have said that Brooke has a very Carly Simon/Carole King vibe about her. I also said that I wanted to hear her sing this very song. Brooke is hot, talented, and seems very genuine.
  2. Carly Smithson - "Crazy on You" by Heart...two of my least favorite Heart songs were performed tonight, but this was the better performance of the two. Carly is Irish and I feel about her the way I feel about Michael Johns.
  3. Ramiele Malubay - "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston....This song always puts me in a good mood and Ramiele's performance was no exception. Plus she is smokin hot.
  4. Syesha Mercado - "Me and Mr. Jones (changed from Mrs.)" by Billy Paul... She had really good vocals, but I just didn't like it. Sung by a guy I really like this song, and part of the reason is that it is a little bit provocative since it is MRS Jones, a married lady. Mister on the other hand does not necessarily mean married in Syesha's version and that took away from the song for me. I know that's a dumb reason to not like the song, but its my blog.
  5. Kristy Lee Cook - "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstadt.... She improved a lot over last week. This seems to be closer to her as a singer. I bet she'll do good at country.
  6. Alaina Whitaker - "Hopelessly Devoted to You" by Olivia Newton John...I love this song and this girl reminds me of Carrie Underwood. Me and my friends call her Carrie Light. I liked it, but it reminded me that I really liked it when Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) sings it. The entire scene on Pushing Daisies is really cute, with Kristin's performance being interrupted throughout.
  7. Asia'h Epperson - "All by Myself" by Celine Dion...I am always nervouse when someone on here tries to pull off a Celine (or a Whitney), but she did alright. She didn't knock it out of the ballpark, but I don't think she needs to worry about being sent home...there was definitely worse.
  8. Alexandrea Lushington - "If you Leave Me Now" by Chicago...Like her, like the song, didn't love the performance. This didn't seem to be a good fit for her.
  9. Kady Malloy - "Magic Man" by Heart....I'll say this for her, she does a FIERCE Britney Spears impression. Other than that, I don't like her attitude, don't love this song, wouldn't mind to see her go.
  10. Amanda Overmyer - "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas...I really like this rocker chick. Love the crazy hair. Her outfits are a little over the top and not in a good way. This was a really bad performance. I hope she stays in the competition, but wow was she off her game.

Idol Update - I was completely wrong on the girls cuts. I predicted Kady Malloy and Amanda Overmyer, but the girls sent home were......Alexandrea Lushington and Alaina Whitaker (my little Carrie Light....no!). Oh well, better luck next time.

Where the Boys Are

I admit it....I love American Idol. I have watched it from the beginning. That first season I was away from home training for a new job for eight weeks in St.Louis. I was immersed in a very confusing bizarre love triangle (love that song btw). It was the height of my do i like boys or girls crisis. I was still convinced that I had to make a choice one way or the other. The three of us were inseparable and one of our favorite things to do was curl up on the couch and watch the Idol. The craziness of that time in my life has long since faded away, but I still love to curl up on the couch and watch the Idol.
This week's theme was the 70s. Tuesday night was the boys performances. Here is my ranking of performances from best to worst:
  1. David Archuleta - "Imagine" by John Lennon..... I really love this song and I thought he did a great job with it, even though he got a little theatrical with it in a couple of places. It was my favorite performance of the night. However, my favorite reality show performance of this song will always be Jordis Unga on Rock Star: INXS I'm not gonna lie, both versions made me a little emotional and I'm already imagining the duet in my head.
  2. David Hernandez - "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" by The Temptations...I don't like this guy that much. For some reason his eyes really creep me out. They say serial killer to me, but that's just my take on it. I also hate the hoodie/blazer combo adopted by the too hip and cool set. However, if you are gonna do it, wear an actual hoodie AND blazer, not the blazer w/ sewn in pseudo hoodie. Those problems aside, he was a hundred times better than the week before and had a really strong vocal this week.
  3. Chikezie Eze - "I Believe to My Soul" by Donny Hathaway...Another performer that I really don't like. If it were up to me he would have been gone the first week, but it wasn't up to me and he was back again. Admittedly he was also vastly improved over the previous week and was much more relatable this week.
  4. Jason Castro - "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" by the BeeGees...I like this guy. He seems nice and genuine. His performances have a sort of Jason Mraz vibe which I like.
  5. Danny Noriega - "Superstar" by Leon Russell....To me this kid looks like he could be Jessica Alba's kid brother and his performances border on drag queen-esque. That being said, I think he has a good voice and I love this song.
  6. Michael Johns - "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac...Oh Michael Johns. I think he is dreamy (yes, I said dreamy). He is beautiful, He is Australian (love the accent), and he's.. well did I mention that he is beautiful and Australian? This was not my favorite performance of his, but I like him so much I don't care. I would listen to him read/sing the phonebook and be happy.
  7. David Cook - "All Right Now" by Free...Reasons why I like David Cook. He's a Missouri boy too, his pre-performance interview (he's a word nerd), he has cute gear, he pulls off the rocker guy thing.
  8. Luke Menard - "Killer Queen" by Queen...He's very milquetoast to me. He's so pretty its not interesting. I thought this week's performance was better than the previous' weeks and he was able to pull off the theatrics needed for this song, but really? Trying to pull off Freddie Mercury? Everyone who can pull off performing a Queen song step forward...not so fast Luke
  9. Robbie Carrico - "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner....Ugh, boring. I don't by the rocker thing from him and I'm not that interested in his performances.
  10. Jason Yeager - "Long Train Running" by The Doobie Brothers....On the show, it lists him as being from Texas, but seeing his performances always reminded me of something. I grew up in Branson and he seemed very Branson show guy to me. So imagine my delight to discover that he does indeed currently reside in Branson. I am so ready for him to go back to Branson.
Idol Update - I started this post on Tuesday, but life got in the way, and I am just now finally getting to post it. Its Thursday night and the results are in....and I called it right. Robbie Carrico and Jason Yeager were both cut from the competition. The ladies are up in my next post and I have to say I didn't do nearly as well calling those results.

T-shirt Tuesdays

I like to make t-shirts. Okay, I don't actually make the t-shirt itself, but I like to iron on different random sayings on to t-shirts. So each Tuesday (its past midnight, so technically its Wednesday, but I like the sound of T-shirt Tuesday better) I am going to put up one of my t-shirt sayings. Some will be new upcoming t-shirts and some will be ones that I've already made. I'll try to include photos of the ones that I've made. To start things off, I'm going with an upcoming t-shirt:

I still like dirty words and ice cream

The New Adventures of Old Christine

My name is jason and I'm a tv addict. That being said I think you'll find that a lot of my posts will end up being tv related. Monday night is actually a pretty light tv night here in the jf household with my only real tv viewing being Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and The New Adventures of Old Christine. While I like spending time with both Sarah and Christine, the idea of a new episode of Christine is really what gets me through a Monday. Sure Sarah is out there kicking ass and taking names, but Christine is more like me. She may have a list of names of the asses she would like to kick, but she's too tired to actually do the ass kicking, and she probably misplaced the list anyways.

Let's Blog it out!

So it begins...I've toyed with the idea of having a blog before, but I've never gotten around to it before today. I haven't really decided where I'm going with this thing yet, but hopefully it will be a fun journey.
