so like 8 twitter updates equal to 1 blog post?

it's officially spring y'all which means it's 90 degrees in houston already. i can't wait for october.

my cousin just sent us new pictures of her kids. these kids are crazy mixed. they're part sri lankan, part black, part burmese and part finnish. however in the picture they look like two little mexican girls which is strange cause they're both boys. apparently that particular combination of ethnicities leads to gender bender mexican kids. i kid. they're adorable. yay for my family.

in idol news how awesome was our boy anoop this week? i was so excited as soon as i heard him sing the first line of 'always on my mind'. i knew it would be perfect and it was except for the line where he says 'b-l-i-i-i-n-d'. he sounded like a goat but a cute goat, that wears purple and green hoodies

in other news i now tweet. this means that henceforth i will be conveying to you every single crazy thought that appears in my head. [yay for you!] a lot of times i'll think of something but it's not worthy of an entire post and so i end up never saying it and then it gets lost forever. of course this does not include my 'for when i'm a sitcom writer' drafts which im never sharing with you unless you pay me cash money. so my point fellow bloggers is that i insist you join twitter. instead of just letting your blog sit there and die a slow death at least you'll have these occasional mini posts that will maybe inspire you to blog again. or you can just put all your tweets together and voila you have a post.

you know how when you get mad at people you say horrible things in your mind to them like "ugh i hope you die!"? i have recently started to be more specific about how i want these people to die. i want it to be violent and dramatic and a little funny. like "ugh i hope you die in a buffalo stampede". you should totally try this because it's satisfying and will make you giggle a little thereby easing the anger towards said person.

other ways to relieve stress and get super happy without resorting to narcotics is to watch anoop desai cleff hanger videos on you tube. there are tons of them and some are even accompanied by minor stripping. girrrl reeeeeeeeeelax! sigh. i'm beyond lame. i'm not even going to tell you how many times i voted for him this week. let's just say there were many zeros. if there's a virtual anoop dog fan greeting card out there to sign i've signed it. if there's a poll for favourite idol contestant i've voted on it. multiple times. if there's an article containing the words 'anoop' 'noop' or 'noop dog' that was published within the last hour or day or week i've read it. thank you google news. if there's a personal anoopy childhood story from a distant family member i've read and reread it and by god if there's a new photo album i've stalked it. i constantly use words like 'noopaholic', 'nooper trooper', 'nooptastic' and my favourite 'i want to anoop you'. like i said. beyond lame.

p.s. dear president obama if you would like to keep your ratings up i would suggest you not do the following: 1. make special olympics jokes on late night tv and 2. schedule presidential addresses on american idol time. i have to wait an extra 24 hours this week to see my anoop and i'm not pleased.

please god let this one be straight.

i havent crushed this bad since i was seventeen

girl relax!!

noopy update followed by really long gossipy idol conversation. skip if you're not into idol.

noopy survived! oh thank god! don't you ever ever do that to us again you crazy fool! who picks 'beat it'? gahhhhh! i had to bring out the rosary tonight. the last time i did that was before the hurricane and before that it has only been used at the end of very close cricket matches. talking about cricket matches we just won a series in new zealand. what?? what's even more shocking is they're scoring over 300 runs and that's just each side individually. remember the last time and the time before that? i remember this one series where whoever won the toss won the match. it was like you win the toss, you choose to bowl. the other team is out for just over 100. you bat. the pitch has dried up just a teeny bit and you manage to reach the target. but barely. this was how every match went. and we lost more tosses than we won. anyway go team and go sehwag! and sachin don't be saying things that suggest dada's team wasn't the bestest ever.

anyway back to idol. i was such a tv whore last night. i watched the show and i had my phones ready to dial. i was under the impression that you could only vote one time from one line. so not true! you can vote as many times as you want and it's free. so i had my cordless phone in one hand and my cell phone [which is free after 9 pm which is perfect cause that's when the voting starts] in the other hand and i hit redial and redial and redial while i chatted with mother and watched the news. i took breaks to get refreshments and to avoid carpel tunnel syndrome and then i got back to hitting redial. i have no idea how many votes i contributed to they were all worth it baby! wooooohooooooo! ooh and this morning i was obsessively checking anoop dog fan websites [yes there are plenty] and they were all pointing to the dialidol website which predicts the results based on which contestant's phone lines had the busiest signals or something. i don't know but apparently they have had great success rates the past seasons and they were all saying that he was in the top 5 but when they called him on stage with jorge [paapa so sad] i was like oh god the website was all wrong but the thing is they never said that anoop and jorge were the bottom two. even with jasmine and that corkey girl [you know, the one with the one move and the adorableness] they never said that they were the bottom two. i'm thinking they just pick whomever the hell they want, probably the one that got the worst comments from the judges and the one person with the lowest votes and they bring them both on stage to build the tension. like if nunez was up there today with someone who had sung well but didn't have a big fan base [like the redhead whom i love by the way] of course the judges would have saved her. ooh that's the new twist by the by which i think is cool. but by putting anoop in there with him it was tense cause they both had bad comments and there was no way the judges would have saved anoop again. its not really fair but it almost like he's used up his one life even before they came up with this new rule. see how into this i am? super lame i know but i'm in lurrrrve and next week the boy better kill it.

p.s. did you see last night when they were showing his intro video with his parents and they showed baby pictures of him wearing a baby kurta and waist coat! my mum and me both went awwwwwwwww.

p.p.s. how awful did kanye sound tonight? see anyone can have a bad night. at least anoop looked cute. they spiked his hair a little and everything. kanye was wearing denim on denim with some type of towel falling out of his back pocket!


i have bits of an online conversation that i had a few minutes ago with a fellow blogger on the same subject that im wanting to post but said person is absconding even though their gtalk icon is suspiciously orange and i need their permission to post such a conversation so come back person before i go to sleep.


ooh in the meantime while i was anooping with said blogger another blogger who also happened on be online [what are the chances? god we're so lame] and me were having a simultaneous conversation, some of which i will now copy paste.


S: what are you watching?

me: im typing
a blog post
about anoop dog
sigh
S: o
me: american idol
S: he got quit
me: too mainstream for u
he got wat?
S: as in did he get voted out
me: no bitch
dont say that
i wouldn't be this upbeat if he had
S: dude
me: and u would have sensed it immediately
S: k
me: because i would've upped the sarcasm in this conversation
S: no kidding, really?
me: yes
i have a massive tv crush on him
me and everyone else
u gotta watch
S: what's so great abt him?

me: so much dork appeal the boy has
S: so the new word for popular ugly people is dork appeal
me: he is so not ugly
S: ok
me: dork = geek but cutish
like so and so could be cute if only they weren't so awkward and had a mini makeover
S: isnt this a singing show? just making sure
me: a desi boy example would be if so and so would stop tucking in his shirt and remove his yennefied side parting he would be cute
oh he can sing!
this is no sanjaya
S: then why does side, center parting matter
me: uff i was just giving example to u

so u dont confuse dorky with ugly

itsacharade: so my thinking was he HAS to be in the wild card

me: everyone says hes likable

yes

and they said it was the easiest choice

itsacharade: but then yesterday, simon kind of made out like he was the last choice

me: maybe thats why i hate danny

cause anoop lost out to him

itsacharade: the 13th... as if they hadn't just done that for shock value

so these highheelconfidential girls have me hooked on tons of celebrity websites. i am registered on all kinds of nonsense websites and most work afternoons i spend checking out bollywood celebrities at awards shows, peace rallies, ribbon cutting ceremonies [my most favourite thing ever. i have always dreamt of being invited to cut ribbon at some event] and anywhere else everyone is showing up to. today i spent a good part of the afternoon checking out amrita arora's wedding pictures. tons of ott celebs arriving with their cleavage, clutches and jewellery. apparently no one wears normal looking sarees anymore. they're all see through, glitter infested and worn only with shiny mettallic bikini tops. anyway so in between close ups of malaika's arm bracelet and some lady's clutch that looked like a radio which and i have to say i'm all for interesting bag designs but when you're going to a wedding and you're wearing a saree why you got to be holding a ridiculous radio shaped bag? now if it was in fact a real radio and she was holding it so she could keep track of the cricket score then that would be okay but we'll never know. right so coming to the point, in between all the shininess i spot what looks like an auto rickshaw and i'm like who came to this thing in an auto? turns out it was salman khan. there's a mob of people around him. the auto driver is beaming and then there's sallu. it's fucking hilarious. is he like banned from ever sitting in a car? i realise he runs over people all the time but like dude you could get a chauffer.

in anoop desai news........ he's so back! and looking hot. they made a special spot 13 just for him. awwww.
