Idol Fever: My Bets

I have no life. I am a stay-at-home gal who earns a little living from blogging and the awesomeness that is google adsense. All that while I wait for the results of the Bar Exam, which is taking fantastically slowly. So to take my mind off worrisome things, I spend some of my time fantasizing about celebrities and men that I only see on my TV screen.

One show I like to watch is American Idol Season 9. I've been following this show pretty much consistently since David Cook's time. Most of my bets end up in the top 3. This time around, I got my eyes on two guys and a girl.

1. Casey James
He is 27 and is the lead singer of his band, aptly called The Casey James Band. He's from Texas but his drawl isn't very thick. I think he's hot. Judges Victoria Beckham and Kara DiGuardi also agree. He has this whole grunge-y, outdoors-y, Kurt Cobain look to him, only prettier. But most importantly, he can really sing. Last night, he sang Bryan Adam's Heaven and it was HOT. The title was just right. Heaven's exactly how I felt watching him. lol It's official: I am in love with this guy. XD


2. Andrew Garcia
A really talented, creative guy. He's 24 from California, a stay-at-home dad who does music on occasion...but I strongly suspect that he's got Filipino blood in him. I know everybody's talking about his acoustic rendition of Paula Abdul's Straight Up but his version of Fall Out Boy's Sugar, We're Going Down last night was also just as awesome. I think he's going places, this one.


3. Siobhan Magnus
I principally like her story, not that there's much of it. The show hasn't really given her background a lot of airtime, so she comes off as mysterious and dark, which incidentally is what Simon Cowell calls her: the dark horse. I just like her because of her name (so cool) and because she's this kinda, sorta weird girl (she is a glass blowing apprentice, whatever that is) and her version of Wicked Game was only appropriate. That picture, by the way, is from her Facebook profile. There's very little about her you can find online, too. So mysterious.


Anyhoo, these are my bets. What about you? Who's the next American Idol?

Moview Review: The Lady Shogun and Her Men

I've heard about this story for sometime now. The Japanese title is Ooku , which refers to the chamber in the shogun's castle where all the women of the shogun's harem are kept. However, Yoshinaga Fumi's manga, on which this movie is adapted, adds a twist: the shogun is a woman and beautiful men fill her harem. THE STORY In the year 1716 Japan, most of the men have died from a deadly disease that only affects men, resulting in their population dwindling to as much as 1/4 of the total population of women. Consequently, women fill in the traditional roles of men, performing hard labor, managing businesses and running government while men are pampered, protected and allowed only to indulge in light entertainment. In this nonexistent Japan lives Mizuno Yunoshin (Kazunari Ninomiya), a teenager from an impoverished samurai class family. He likes fencing and his childhood friend, O-Nobu (Horikita Maki), but because of his family's financial status (O-Nobu is a daugh...

I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night

THE OLD ASTRONOMER. - Sarah Williams R EACH me down my Tycho Brahé,—I would know him when we meet, When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet; He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how We are working to completion, working on from then till now. Pray, remember, that I leave you all my theory complete, Lacking only certain data, for your adding, as is meet; And remember, men will scorn it, 'tis original and true, And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you. But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learnt the worth of scorn; You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn; What, for us, are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles? What, for us, the goddess Pleasure, with her meretricious wiles? You may tell that German college that their honour comes too late. But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate; Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the s...

TV Review: The Queen's Classroom

Imagine a person with the emotional range of a terminator, the aura of Darth Vader and the Machiavellian mindset of Hitler. Now put her in a classroom. What you get is an unusual Japanese drama series that debunks the "heroic" teacher stereotype, presents searing commentaries about the state of the public school system, and gives you a character so evil and negative that the makers of the series had to show a clip at the ending transforming her back into just an actress. The show is called The Queen's Classroom and not for no reason. THE STORY Sixth grader Kanda Kazumi ( Shida Mirai ) is looking forward to spending her last year in grade school having fun and creating lasting memories with her friends. But problems arise when a strict new teacher, Akutsu Maya ( Amami Yuki ) is assigned as their homeroom adviser. Maya ranks her class strictly according to merit, punishing harshly those with the lowest grades while lavishly awarding those with the highest marks. So...
