does america have talent?
i'm wiped today. should've gone to bed earlier last night, but lexi wanted to see who was going to win America's Got Talent (we were watching the rebroadcast on Bravo). "if bianca doesn't win, i'm gonna... i'll... well, i'll do something..."
she was pissed when the show ended with no announcement of a winner, as i suspected would happen when regis announced that the phonelines would open soon for america to begin voting ten minutes before the end of the show. sure enough, it was not the final show but a rebroadcast of the night before's show. so lexi had to go online and find out who won.
she came to bed and said "i know who won."
"who?"
"i'm not telling! you'll have to look it up yourself!"
"i can tell by your lack of outrage that your girl won!"
"..."
anyway... that show is so funny. it's very predictable in that piers is just about always the villain -- "i don't know what you were doing up there, but it wasn't entertaining at all" -- while hasslehoff and brandy are almost always the cheerleaders. anytime someone is decent, hasslehoff says "you have cut to the heart of america, and that's what this competition is all about." goddamn, it was a dude snapping his fingers!
granted, i can't snap my fingers like that. but i probably could if i really put my heart into it. but now my heart is damaged, 'cause too many of these performers have cut into my heart, so there it is.
the funniest thing to me is hearing hasslehoff say things like "that was perfect" or "you didn't miss one note" when it was obviously not perfect and the only reason they didn't miss one note is 'cause they blew past the one and ran it up to 12 or 15.
but i gotta hand it to that bianca girl -- she's got a huge voice and great pitch. she can be a monster. here's hoping she develops into something awesome.

oh, tonight i'll be sitting in again with gato malo at the abbey lounge at 7:30. tomorrow over to o'brien's for the masscann show, which will include a performance by my buddies voodoo screw machine. gotta go represent, support the cause and dig the great music. VSM are never lacking in serious entertainment value. plus, they're comprised of some of the sicker musicians in the area.
plus there's almost always fake blood.
