Charter Sucks

Public Service Announcement - If you're a "sometimes" reader, or a regular..... make sure you come back tomorrow for a very VERY special blog tomorrow (Friday). It's a day you won't want to miss (and no, April Fool's Day isn't till Saturday).

Charter has crossed the line..... Sat down to start catching up on recorded shows off the Moxi box (Charter's attempt at creating Ti-Vo) and saw that all the shows that I was expecting to be there were indeed there - but only 1 second of the show. So now I really have no way of watching American Idol, Apprentice, American Idol results, or even Unan1mous. Thankfully with the help of the web I can see what happened.

With the help of so many of you, I heard AI was a bomb anyways this week - so I'm not necessarily too disappointed. What I am disappointed in is "ALL OF YOU, AMERICA" in actually voting for Bucky. Lisa's gone which nobody was surprised at, but Katharine???? What's she doing in the bottom 3? For the record (remember, I didn't see this week's show but no big loss there), here is my ranking of where I think the final 9 should be:

1) Chris - duh!
2) Mandisa
3) Paris
4) Katharine
5) Taylor
6) Elliott
7) Hillbilly Kellie
8) Ambiguously Gay Duo's Ace
9) Bucky

So assuming we get rid of Bucky next week (he should have been first one gone), the talent level will be a lot higher and then jumps again with the final 4. Country week next week which means Bucky and Hickville Pickler will be right at home unfortunately. Might be Ace's week to go home. The only reason to watch might be to see how high Paula's BAC level will be before the night is over with. Luckily they're only giving her an hour to drink instead of the two hours in the past.

Unan1mous looked interesting but of course Charter makes me have to read it online which doesn't get the same effect. Looks like Richard is no longer eligible to win, and with all of them sick of the game already - they decide Steve the Truck Driver should win. But of course Jonathan secretly changed his vote so they're stuck there even longer trying to decide who should win. Anyway, enough of that.

Apprentice - Dan was fired. This season sucks.

Singing at Church went well last night. Thanks to all of the millions (AND MILLIONS) of the Show's Fans for coming out. There will be more opportunities to hear me sing.... like Karaoke night. When are we doing that? I'm itching for some karaoke!

Song of the Day - Speaking of William Hung..... Guess who's performing at VEISHEA this year????? That's right... Mr. Hung himself! She Bangs She Bangs! Ah, the talent level of VEISHEA keeps on getting better and better. The days of Aerosmith are long gone folks, the budget can only afford William Hung. So keep on singing Rickie Martin songs today!

Video of the Day - We finished watching Vertigo last night. Nice little twist in there and very interesting movie. I like how there are really no end credits to the movie so it literally will end, you hear a last long note of music, then it's done. Vertigo was much better than our previous Hitchcock movie. The Birds is next on my list to watch (thanks Christie)

Webpage of the Day - Intellectual Property is a huge thing in the 21st Century Business Model. Ask anyone here at IBM how many times they are pressured into making up patents for everything. I have a new way of tying my shoes, I should write up a patent. I thought today's website has a wonderful way of pointing out the absurdities that continue to grow due to our modern day culture where everyone is trying to make a quick and easy dollar!

BTW - 8:15 and I'm still the only one from my team in the lab that's here!!!
