Another dose of Anthony - part deux

First of all, Amazon.com didn't completely disappoint me today, but neither did they make me jump up and down. As it turns out, when I called the OTHER number today, they had no idear what I was talking about. So they gave me a number to call... Yep, you guessed it - customer service!

I was once again greeted by a well spoken Indian person (presumably), who eventually agreed that, yes a mistake had been made by the promotional code people (not to be confused with the people I'd called earlier in the day) and that he should be able to sort everything out. The catch (yes, I know you're waiting for the catch): It won't go into effect for 30 days.

Therefore, it's entirely likely that I will see yet another $42 interest fee charged against my account before this whole business is truly sorted. So, I'm gearing up for a a third, hopefully last, call to amazon.com in about 2 weeks time.

Now to AI (American Idol for you non-idol fans): My early pick, Stevie Wright, went down in flames like the Hindenburg. She was so bad that I was actually grimacing during her performance. So, I was pretty devastated by that. BUT, despite my disappointment, no performance was as bad as poor, sad, Casey Carlson! Holy god did she stink it up!! Whewee.

I haven't seen a performance that bad since Rosanne sang the national anthem back in the late 90's. She sang something by The Police (every little thing she does is magic) that is nearly impossible to sing, unless you only have one name and that name is Sting. But the worst part was that she started off as a gorgeous, beautiful, sexy girl - by the end of the song, I literally couldn't even look at her. It was absolutely horrible... I'm still shaking.

I figure that Danny Gokey (or Robert Downey Jr. as I like to call him), Alexis Grace, and *gasp* Tatiana were the best singers of the night. However, Tatiana might just have blown her wad with the crazy earlier in the competition, so she probably won't make the cut. I'm thinking that Jackie will probably edge her out. Everybody else? CYA! Maybe the Chicken McNugget guy gets a wild-card spot, but that would be wishful thinking (on his part, not mine).

I'm hoping they announce who made it through tonight before tomorrow night's show. And I'm REALLY hoping that they quit with the after-song, family group hug and interview bullshit. I just fast forward through that crap.

I will be sad to see little Stevie Wright get the boot, but there's absolutely no way she's going to make it through. I'm more likely to win the bronze medal in female gymnastics before she makes the top 12 after that abysmal performance. (Shout out to Lewis Black).

I'll post again tomorrow night for you AI fans who just can't wait for another loving spoonful of Anthony-ness.

But, before you indulge yourself yet again, don't forget to go out there and buy my house!
