Did you see the season finale of The Shield? I was glued to the TV! I did expect Lem to die, because I knew 2 major characters were being written out, though I wasn’t sure which it would be. Kavanaugh leaving was a given. I just knew Vic was the father of Danny’s baby!

Watched nearly all of American Idol, too. I only missed Lisa Tucker as I was looking for a cancelled check for my rear end/carb/tranny rebuild, which I found. Barry Manilow worked with the singers and gave advice and it worked as most did a great job. I thought Mandisa was the best, and thought Kevin Covais and Bucky Covington — again — were the worst. Tonight we’ll see who is voted off and I predict the bottom 3 being Lisa Tucker, Bucky and Kevin, with Bucky being voted off. Kevin has very little talent but he’s like John Stevens of a few seasons ago, he has the little girl audience that carries him through.

Human nature is an amazing thing. I don’t see why people would rather rant and rave in a drunken stupor (stupid being the base of that word) instead of talking like a human being. I haven’t liked people who drink since I was 14. I was staying over a friend’s house and her father, a fisherman, came home around midnight. He was about 6′4″, a big strapping Swede. He came in yelling because he was very drunk, and actually punched his fist through a wall. I’d never, ever seen anyone who was drunk, so it scared the crap out of me. My friend stood up to him, told him off and told him he was scaring me, then her mother came out, apologized, and took him in the bedroom. I didn’t sleep much and when I told my mom the next day, she said in the future to never stay in a situation like that and call her immediately. I learned a valuable lesson at a young age about how unreasonable, abusive and disturbing people who drink can be.

Funny thing is I grew up with a full bar in the house, but neither of my parents drank and we never really had people over. My mother still laments the fact she kept that full bar and all she ended up doing was dusting everything each week for no reason. It was all for decoration I guess. My grandparents never drank nor did any relatives we had over. I had my first sip of beer at age 16 or so and it was so vile that to this day, the very smell of beer turns my stomach.
