Busy-ness

It’s been a busy few weeks. I have been working [1]; I’ve been sick [2]; I’ve been doing my best to get this assignment out of the way [3]; and I’ve become disappointed with the silly, waste-of-time show, Australian Idol [4].

1. Work is the same ol’ thing/place/activity.

2. Came down with the flu-type thing. All ok now. Poor PH now has it. I am sure I had something to do with that –my bad.

3.  Went to the library on Sunday and carved away a sizable chunk of the assignment. It’s quite good actually: I really like the topic. I’m heading for a HD for this one… Fingers n’ toes!

4.  Ben got voted out last night. Something I do not understand. As Dicko said, he expected Matt and Ben to be the two to get to the finale. They have the voices; the appeal and the fans!

I’m guessing that people thought they were so much of a sure-thing that they didn’t bother voting and subsequently they were in the bottom three. Alternately, perhaps Ben and Matt’s fan base don’t have the access to vote unlike the fans of more mature acts. For example: perhaps the average B/M fan is on limited, pre-paid mobile access; restricting the amount they can vote?

Anyways…

Ben McKenzie -Mad World

Australian Idol -Top 8

Hmm, do I talk about Australian Idol through fear of looking juveniles and dumb? Sure, what the hell.

So, the top 8 -what an interesting composition that is. I missed the first round of guys but it seems predictable that Matt Corby got through, and with good reason. The first round of gals I think saw Tarasai and Lana get through. Tarasai is awesome but I am not sure about Lana. Where is her personality? The second round of guys was great: Marty (not a fan, but I am sure plenty of the gals are) and Ben got through. I really like Ben. Awesome voice, great personality and overall who I am supporting. Last night, the final round of girls went through. Should be drawn tonight… We’ll see I guess…

I have said it before and I’ll say it again: all the chicks voices sound the same to me. There is much more difference and uniqueness in the guys voices. Sorry girls, I don’t like any of you.
