American Idol - The Thing That Should Be

Below is a list of songs that probably won't ever be performed on Idol, which is a shame. If they were sung, they will immidiately be considered awesome. Depending on how good the perormance will be, they might stay that way, too.

More Than a Feeling - Boston
The Boys Are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy
Buddy Holly - Weezer
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns 'n' Roses. That would be SO AWESOME!
Paradise City - Guns 'n' Roses. And any G'N'R, really.
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Any Nirvana, actually.
Metallica. Something? Anything?
Led Zeppelin. Other than once in the 8th season, nothing!
Rockstar - Nickleback. I know, i know, but this song has a special place in my heart...
Lynyrd Skynyrd - NOT ENOUGH!
ZZ Top - Especially Sharp Dressed Man, David Cook's performance of it with ZZ Top was awesome.
Stan - Eminem. I know it doesn't really fit, but this song gives me the chills EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton. Ditto.
Hotel California - The Eagles. LOVE IT. Also, a good version of Desperado, to get us all to forget the catastrophe that was the third season...
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals. DITTO.
Some more Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Beatles (and solo careers).
The Rolling Stones. PLEASE! Gimme more! PLEASE!
AC/DC? Maybe? Highway to Hell and Back in Black, expecially.
Some more Hallelujah, the Jeff Buckley arrangement. That's just so awesome.
Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie. He played guitar! Me likey. Plenty of other great ones from him.
Queen. Just more please.

Red Hot Chili Peppers. More. More. More.
Wonderwall - Oasis.

I Love Rock 'n' Roll - Joan Jett. Coolness.
Aerosmith. YEAH! There are more than enough in seasons 7 and 8, but still!
Van Halen. Anything that's not You Really Got Me. Too much painful memories.
If someone goes out and does a heavy metal, Pantera or something, that'd be awesome. a terrible trainwreck, probably, but an awesome one at least.
The Allman Brothers Band. Pretty please?
Looser - Beck. I'm a looser baby, so why don't you kill me? LOL!
I Wanna Be Your Dog - The Stooges. Just for randy's comments.
Thirteen - Big Star. September Gurls would be fine too.
(Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult. Love it.

Bon Jovi. Other than the season 6 Bon Jovi week, what?
On the Road Again - Willie Nelson. Yeah.
Jimi Hendix. I would LOVE to hear a guitar solo of his on Idol.
The Clash. U-huh.
Cream - Anything. Eric Clapton too.
Leonard Cohen. The best thing to come out of canada, and all you've got is one Hallelujah? And it's the Jeff Buckley version! (I have absolutely nothing against that version, in fact I love it...)
Proud Mary - Creedence Clearwater Revival. The CCR version. Complete with "Proud Mary keep on boinin'". lol!
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple. I'll even play the bass part. Or at least the part of the base part that i actually know.
American Pie - Don McLean. All he's got on the show is vincent? seriously?
Depeche Mode. Personal jesus. Or the other good one. The "All i ever wanted" one.
RAP! HA!
The Doors. Just one tiny light my fire? COME ON!
Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand. Who cares that their namesake was murdered? And that led to WWI (or WWII, don't remember which)?
Truckin' - Greatful Dead. Yep.
ABC - The Jackson 5. They really were great, back when they were all black.
Soul Man, and Solomon Burke's Everybody Needs Somebody to Love. NOT as group performances.

Lola - The Kinks. Great. Just great.
Layla - Derek and the Dominos. Again, just great.
Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit. I LOVE it.
Ace of Spades - Motorhead.
All the Young Dudes - Mott the Hoople. With a song and band names like those two, how can you not love it?

Rockin' in the Free World - Neil Young. Hot. Hot. Hot.
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls. Great. Really great.
Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's. Very excellent, as randy once said. One doesn't count.
Hey Ya - Outkast. Kinda rap, but it's great!
How 'bout some Pink Floyd? huh?
Losing My Religion - REM. One of their best, if not the best.
I'm Too Sexy, Baby Got Back, Big Poppa - Just for the LOL factor.
The Sex Pistols. Just oh so great.
The Smiths? Maybe?
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden. That'd be cool.
Sum 41. Fat Lip, or In Too Deep, expecially.
My Sharona - The Knack. So that simon can call whoever did it the next Prince, only to see him get out the next results show.
Keep On Runnin' - The Spencer Davis Group. If only because i can't find this anywhere.
Some Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Free Fallin' - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Jus' 'cause.
Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground. Yeah...
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve. How cool is it that Richards and Jagger got co-writing credit?
Dance to the Music - Sly & the Family Stone. Would be fun to see.
Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry. LOL... I know it's been done, twice, but still!
Do You Believe in Magic - The Lovin' Spoonful. I just like it...
Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead.
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield.
Fortunate Son - CCR.
Slow Ride - Foghat.
Fuck the Police - NWA. It would have to be pretaped, but it would be FUNNY to hear more bleeps than actual lyrics. LOL!
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac. If not Nadia, then someone, please?
Beach Boys. No one? No one?!?!?
Hit the Road Jack - Ray Charles. Who wouldn't want to hear more backup than actual singing by the contestant?
All Star - Smash Mouth. Why not? Just give it a try!
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor. Ditto. Why not?
U2 - Two songs don't count!
The Reason - Hoobastank. It's just stuck in my head... I think it's great.
Bad Day - Daniel Powter
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd. Just to see someone TRY and cut down this song, from 26:11 to 90 seconds. ROFL!

that's it for now... a pretty hefty list, if i may add...

A Wierd Taste In Music

That's right. I've got an eclectic (read: W-I-E-R-D) taste in music. I like just about anything. Except Mizrahit. I used to like it. A bit. I hate it now...

A small taste of my taste - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, some ZZ Top, some Oasis, some Animals, some Elvis, some Eminem, some Guns 'n' Roses, some Metallica, Nirvana, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, some Green Day, some Coldplay, some Radiohead, Queen, some Deep Purple, some Weezer, some REM, some Soundgarden, some Santana, some Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, some George Harrison, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Neil Young, the Monkees, and more!

YEAH, I know...

As proof of this varied taste of mine, the next entry will be a list of songs I would like to see and hear performed on American Idol. and well.

In Haifa...

I'm in Haifa today.

I'm staying in a friend's appartment. I was supposed to stay with my uncle and aunt, and their son and daughter, but that didn't go through...

On the train, I met 2 girls I went to high school and middle school with. One's REALLY hot. The other, not so much. I haven't seen them in a year or so. It was kinda cool. We talked. That's it.

I'm now in a shitty appartment in Nesher, which is basically the same as Haifa, but not really. Oh well.

Tomorrow, I need to go to a course from the army, I dunno... Something about how to write your CV. BUT I'M NOT EVEN 19!!! AND I WON'T BE LOOKING FOR A JOB IN THE NEXT 9 YEARS!!! I dunno...

Anyway, there are some good news. My cousin was sick for the last week or so. He had really high fever. The doctors didn't know if it was swine flu or not. Today I found out he's healthy again. YAY!

Alright, that's it. I think...

8/11/09

American Idol

That's it. I'm really done now. No more of this frm me. Buh bye!

American Idol S06E20 - Top 12

We are finally here. The top 12. And theme weeks. This week, it's Diana Ross, and she's helping the kids.

First though, some pimping of the show and it's alumni. Then it's a tour of the stage. Then, after some banter, some pimping of Diana Ross. And then we see her meet the top 12.

1) Brandon - "Can't Hurry Love" by The Supremes. The start, with the back to the audience, SUCKED. Not good at all. And he forgot the lyrics. And let it show.

COCA COLA! The hardest part of the competition for Melinda's the high heels and dresses. LOL. Ryan asks Simon to give her pointers about the high heels. LOL. Simon says Ryan should know. LOL. Ryan tells Simon to stay out of his closet. LOL. Simon tells Ryan to come out of it. ROFL!!! Melinda's embarassed as heck.

2) Melinda - "Home" by Diana Ross. She's too good for AI. She's a great singer, a great performer, and yet she's incredibly shy and cute. Amazing... And she doesn't know how good she is. And she made Paula cry. How can you not love her???

3) Chris S. - "Endless Love" by Diana Ross & Lionel Richie. He looks wierd sans-glasses. T'was a'ight.

4) Gina - "Love Child" by the Supremes. Loud. Not terrible.

5) Sanjaya - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell. What happened to his hair??? It SUCKED! The "dancing" too. And the ending. Yuck...

COCA COLA! Nothing interesting...

6) Haley - "Missing You" by Diana Ross. Breathy. That can really drive me crazy. And she effed the lyrics. Simon made her cry, by giving her compliments!

7) Phil - "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" by the Supremes & the Temptations. Creepy. Good, but creepy.

8) LaKisha - "God Bless the Child" by Billie Holiday. WOW...

COCA COLA! Blake listens to "cool" music.

9) Blake - "You Keep Me Hanging On" by the Supremes. Wierd. Good, but wierd.

10) Stephanie - "Love Hangover" by Diana Ross. Pretty good. I guess.

11) Chris R. - "The Boss" by Diana Ross. Pretty weak. I dunno...

12) Jordin - "If We Hold On Together" by Diana Ross. Very good. Very very good.

Real Madrid - Toronto FC

Real Madrid beat Toronto FC 5-1 a few hours ago. WOOHOO!!!

Some observations:

* Cristiano Ronaldo's getting more and more comfortable. It's going to be scary!

* Raul's AWESOME! He just never seases to work and amaze me.

* Kaka's brilliant. He didn't have the best of games, as it was his first in Real, but he organised the offensive game so well, and rarely made a mistake.

* IKER!!! ALBIOL!!! ARBELOA!!! All these three played their first game for Real (for Iker it was the first game n this preseason), and all played well, though they didn't shine, as they weren't called for any heroic actions/whatever.

* Lass. Lass. Lass. The guy's the closest thing I've ever seen to Makalele, without actually being Makalele. BRILLIANT.

* Guti doesn't suck. He had some good actions, but not enough to warrant a starting role when the actual season starts.

* Benzema's really good. He's not just a target striker, he can start attacks too, and do it well. He can also play near the sidelines, which is an advantage.

* Granero. MY GOD, Granero... The guy can play EVERY single offensive position, and play it well. I'm so glad Real bought him back.

* Sneijder continues to work hard every second he's on the pitch.

* Robben, when healthy, is one of the best players in the world, especially when he's not locked into selfish mode.

* Xabi Alonso. Perfect. Didn't do a whole lot offensively, but whenever he got the ball, he did EXACTLY what he should have, and he played good defense.

* Miguel Torres was the captain, after Raul, Iker and Guti came off the pitch. SERIOUSLY???

* Negredo's good. Very good. Good enough to stay? Probably not...

Next game's sunday night (Israel time), in Washingtn DC, against DC United. Seeya then!

PS - According to the Spanish newspaper As, Perez has closed the terms of Ribery's contract (5 years, beginning next season) with the player and his agent, and predictions are that Bayern Munich will agree to sell the player next summer for 25 M Euros. WOW...

8/7/09

Real Madrid Background

As you probably know by know, I'm a Real Madrid fan.

I wanted to have a background about Real, with the new purchases, as well as the best players that were already here, and decided that instead of asking for someone to make/find me one, I'd do it myself.

And this is the result.

I mysel am very proud of it, as it is the first thing I made using photoshop in 5 years or so, and I never really sat down to learn how to use the program well.

And this is where you come in. If anyone's reading this, please take a look and tell me what you think. It's kinda important for me...

American Idol S06E18 - Top 16: Top 8 Girls

8 girls, blah blah blah...

Paula was missing because she gave Randy a BJ. I didn't say that...

1) Jordin - "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar. She's a football fan! DUDE! AWESOME! It was really fun. I really like this song, and I really like it on her.

2) Sabrina - "Don't Let Go (Love)" by En Vogue. Meh. Screechy.

3) Antonella - "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae. She's really, REALLY hot. AND she sucks! HA!

4) Haley - "If My Heart Had Wings" by Faith Hill. People say she's hot. I don't get people.

5) Stephanie - "Sweet Things" by Chaka Khan.

6) LaKisha - "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston. She's terrified of animals. LOL.

7) Gina - "Call Me When You're Sober" by Evanescence. I really like this song.

American Idol S06E17 - Top 16: Top 8 Guys

8 guys are left. Tonight they perform.

1) Blake - "All Mixed Up" by 311. And in tonight's filler segments, we'll get to know the contestants better. YAY! Blake loves improv comedy, and Halloween is the best time of the year for him. The breathing noises at the start sucked. Once he got going, it was very nice. Not a great song, not great singing, not too difficult, either, but it was nice. Randy loved it, even though he didn't recognize the song. Paula's interested. Simon agrees with the other two.

COCA COLA! Sundance was emotional in the previous results show, because Chris R. was crying. Sanjaya looks like a chick. He was shocked that he got through last week.

2) Sanjaya - "Waiting on the World to Change" by John Mayer. He can Hula. He really is the girliest dude ever. And, in accordance with the girly-ness of his, he sucks. Get it? Get it? That really was terrible. Randy doesn't see anything special about him, and he used to. Paula's speechless. Simon says it wasn't as bad as last week, and calls him on his Paula hairstyle. And then the ever gay Ryan comes up on stage and announces he's sure one of the two (Paula and Sanjaya) has extensions, but he's not sure which one. ROFL!

3) Sundance - "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam. He "reveals" that he wears a fat-suit when he's on the show. Ha. Ha. Ha. Who sings Pearl Jam on the Idol? I mean, the song's great. The video of it is even better. But to sing it on Idol? It was precisely what you'd expect it to be - shouty, loud, incoherent at parts, and quite a mess. But it's a great song! Randy loves that he put a southern rock thing on a Pearl Jam song. Paula's redundant. Simon didn't like it as much as last week.

Travis Tritt's in the house, and Randy's working on his next album.

4) Chris R. - "Tonight I Wanna Cry" by Keith Urban. He used to be "chunky". And he lost 40 pounds. WOW. There's something wierd about his vibrato or falsetto or both. I dunno. Last week he was great. This week he was just OK. Randy thinks he's in it to win it. Duh. Paula's "smart". Simon thinks it was good, but he's not jumping out of his chair.

All the guys do the "Jared Cotter Face Mask". Ha.

5) Jared - "If You Really Love Me" by Stevie Wonder. He played college basketball. Cool. And he does a forced "sexy" Stevie song. He just relies to heavily on the female vote. And there are a lot of girls that aren't impressed by the whole playing with the camera/Jarred-Cotter-face-mask thing, and won't vote for him. Or at least I hope so. Randy thought he gave a solid performance and it was actually good. Paula's helpful! Simon understands Paula. AH!

Phil kisses the judges' asses. Brandon too, I think.

6) Brandon - "I Just Want to Celebrate" by Rare Earth. He's a classical piano player. I dunno. Ugh. Ummm... I guess it was alright, but there was nothing to it. He just sang it. He sang it well enough, but something's missing. I dunno. Randy thought he messed the end.

Alright. I'm done. I give up. I'm tired of this. I am now officially stopping doing this as I have so far. I will just post the rating for each performance episode. I'll write a short recap of each results show, but none of this in depth thing any more. I'll tell you the truth, the main reason I started doing this was because there weren't any of this things to be found for the first several seasons, but there are more than enough for this season onwards. So I'm done-ish.

7) Phil - "I Need You" by LeAnn Rimes. He used to have hair, and Randy was in Journey.

8) Chris S. - "Wanna Be Loved" by dc Talk. I really like this dude.

1. Chris S.
2. Blake
3. Chris R.
4. Sundance
5. Brandon
6. Jared
7. Phil
8. Sanjaya

American Idol S06E16 - Top 20 Results

20 hopefuls stand before us. 4 will be shot to death for our viewing pleasure. Well, not really, but you know...

American Idol Challenge and Kelli Pickler. Can't wait.

More than 32 million votes were phoned/texted in. We get a recap of the performances that earned those votes.

GROUP PERFORMANCE: "Joy to the World" by Three Dogs Night. Jeremiah was a bullfrog! WOOHOO!!! That was very good! Very fun! YAY!

The guys are nervous. FORD! Phil's safe. Chris S.'s safe. Sundance's safe. Blake's safe. Jared joins Ryan at centerstage. And he's safe. Ryan asks Nick to stand and immediately shatters his dreams. He's outta here. He's told he sucks by the judges. And he sings.

The girls are sad. Stephanie's safe. Gina's safe. Sabrina's safe. Melinsda's safe. Alaina's outta here. She's happy with the experience. She sings.

American Idol Challenge - Another stupid question. And another B.

Kelli Pickler's here! She's HAWT! Her boobs are bigger. Hmmm... HAWT! She tried sushi for the first time. And she talks about spider sushi. She bought shoes. Just shoes. GUEST SONG: "I Wonder" by Kelli Pickler.

The boys are up again. Chris R.'s safe. Brandon's safe. Sanjaya and AJ are the only ones left, and they join Ryan at centerstage. AJ's outta here. Sanjaya's safe. He's shocked. AJ's not so much. He sings.

Back to the girls. LaKisha's safe. Haley's safe. Antonella, Leslie and Jordin join Ryan at centerstage. Antonella's safe. Leslie's outta here. Jordin's safe. Gina's crying. We see Nick, Alaina, AJ and Leslie's journeys on Idol. Yep, Daughtry's still singing "Home". Leslie sings.

American Idol S06E15 - Top 20: Top 10 Girls

FINALLY, I'm back to reviewing AI. That was a long hiatus...

Ten girls are left. Not for long, though... We get some banter between the judges and Ryan. I'm bored already.

1) Gina - "Alone" by Heart. Again with the dedication bullshit? Gina dedicates this performance to her boyfriend. Bored. Carrie did this song. It was one of her best performance. And Gina dares try it??? She wasn't bad. She was actually sorta good. Not Carrie good, but good. Randy calls it pitchy to begin with. Paula's stunned-ish. Simon thought it was forced at the end. Randy tries for a LONG time to make fun of Simon's fashion sense, unsuccessfully. Paula doesn't do a better job, either.

COCA COLA! Ryan's got the hots for LaKisha.

2) Alaina - "Not Ready to Make Nice" by Dixie Chicks. She dedicates the song to her mom. Bored. She's really pushing for some sympathy/whatever votes. HAND GESTURES!!! ARGH!!! It was pitchy throughout. The song choice was kinda nice, but she had some enunciation and phrasing problems with it. She ran out of air. It was pretty bad. Randy thought the tuning and pitch went away at the chorus, and thought it was a mess. Paula's comforting. Simon compares it to Randy running in a 100 m race.

3) LaKisha - "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight & the Pips. She's dedicating the song to her grandmother. NICE. GREAT song choice. Remember when Paris sang it last season? Well, LaKisha was even better. It was REALLY good. Great. Fantastic. I L-U-V LaKisha. Randy thought it was HAWT. Paula's mumbling. Simon thought it wasn't as good as last week.

And the Ryan's proving he's gay. He's joined by Simon in the circle of gayness VERY quickly, though. So don't be sad for him. Or perhaps be even sadder?

4) Melinda - "My Funny Valentine" by Mitzi Green. She dedicates this performance to her Gayle's. HUH? This is where previous performances come in to help you - the last to perform this song was Constantine. There's no way in hell this is gonna pale in comparison to THAT... And it doesn't. It's brilliant. Fantastic. Awesome. She's almost too good for this show. Scratch that, She IS too good for this show. Randy called it unbelievable. Paula's applauding. Simon calls in incredible. Melinda's shocked.

5) Antonella - "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion. She's nervous. She's HOT! She dedicates the song to her brother, Vincenzo. Vincenzo? SERIOUSLY??? She sucks. She's just terrible. But she's HOT. It was really, REALLY awful. It was painful at places. Randy says the song was way too big for her, and the pitch was all over the place. Paula's a moron. Simon thought it just wasn't good enough.

6) Jordin - "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera. She dedicates the song to her younger brother, whose name is apparently Blowjob. I dunno. It was a bit erratic at places, but overall very good. Not Melinda good, or LaKisha good, but very good. She cries. Randy thought it was pitchy at places, but he's very impressed by her. Paula's sick. Simon thought it was excellent, when compared to some of the others.

Kelli will make an appearance in the results show! WOOHOO! Stephanie says the girls aren't competitive.

7) Stephanie - "Dangerously In Love" by Beyonce. She dedicates the song to her parents. Bored. The song sucks. She did what she could with it, but the song REALLY sucked! Randy thought she sang her face off. Paula's drunk. Simon's drunk. He thought it was terrific.

Leslie's awkward as heck...

8) Leslie - "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone. She dedicates the song to her grandfather. This song? Again? The beginning, with the long violin note in the background, was wierd. It picked up a bit, and she ended better than she started, but it was just there. Eh. Meh. Bleh. Whatever. The scatting was terrible. Like REALLY bad. Randy thought it was pitchy. It was just a'ight for him. Paula's stupid. Simon says (LOL!) Paula liked it because the skatting sounded like Paula's talking. BURN! He thought she's getting lost, having followed better performances.

Ryan recites Leslie's skatting. Ha.

9) Haley - "Queen of the Night" by Whitney Houston. She dedicates it to her fiancee. Awww. Bored. Why Whitney? Why would she do that to herself? It was "jumpy", "whore-y", "shouty", "pitchy", "insert not favorable adjective here-y". Not really good. Not at all. SHOCKER! She lied about her fiancee being away! He's right there in the audience! Randy thought it was a more background than lead singer song, and that it wasn't great. Paula's deaf. Simon gives her "A" for effort, thought it was manic verging at insane at points. And that it paled in comparison.

10) Sabrina - "All the Man That I Need" by Whitney Houston. She's dedicating the song to her grandmother. She's arrogant. I hate her. She smiles too much. The song's terrible. She did OK. I really couldn't care, though. The ending sucked. Randy says something about something. Paula's happy. Simon thought she was on the limit of shouting.

Football News!

Maccabi Haifa, after a goal-less tie in Kazakhstan last week, found themselves 3 goals down after just 15 minutes tonight in Haifa.

God that sucked.

But, eventually, after many stressful minutes, Maccabi was finally able to come away with a 4-3 victory, and the ticket to the next round. Phew...

It just seemed, for the first quarter of an hour of the game, that the people over at Maccabi just forgot that, usually, the other team can attack as well. After that initial shock, Haifa actually started playing football, and quite well at times.

Let's just say I'm glad that's over...

And in Real Madrid news - XABI ALONSO!!!! Liverpool and Real have come to an agreement for the purchase of the basque by the Spanish club, for a sum of 30 million Euros, according to the Spanish media. YAY!!!! NOW I'm happy. NOW the team's completed. NOW Real can start kicking some major ass (*fingers crossed*)!

News!

News! That's right, news!

What I've done recently - NOTHING! JK...

* I saw Fanboys. And can I just say, I LOVE geek jokes. Geek jokes are the best. Geek jokes rock!

* I had a test, in Solid Mechanics, and I did alright, I think. No more test for a month (Probably)!

* I moved out of my dorm room, and as of now will not be able to get a dorm room next year. DAMN. I need to start looking for an apartment soon. I dunno...

* I saw Knocked Up. Seth Rogen's not easy to look at. He's kinda ugly. BUT! He's funny. Really funny. The whole "team", Jay, Jason, Seth, Martin and Jonah, are funny people. Really funny. And Paul Rudd's a good actor. Funny, in a different way. And not as much. But still. And Katherine Heigl's HAWT!

* I also saw Observe and Report. That movie made no sense. It's Seth Rogen's version of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It's funny at parts. And makes no sense at others. What ev...

* I ALSO saw Road Trip: Beer Pong. GOD, that sucked. Road Trip was really good. Euro Trip was pretty good. This movie just sucked. Everything about it sucked. Except for the tits. They were awesome.

* Real Madrid news - Alvaro Arbeloa was purchased! Yay! Gabriel Heinze left for Marseille. OK. Parejo was transfered to Getafe, with an option of re-purchase for the first 2 years. Good. Alberto Bueno wasn't a Real Madrid player for several weeks when I last wrote about Real. He's now in Valladolid. Again, Real has a re-purchase option, for some duration of time. I think. AND! Xabi Alonso's transfer to Madrid is reportedly all but agreed upon. He stayed in Spain, while the team, Liverpool, returned to England. I just hope he signs for Real soon.

That's it. I think. Oh well...
