more american idol

The new pizzahut ad for popable pizza with that annoying Jessica Simpson really annoys me. But tonight it had a new twist - Miss Piggy singing and swaying instead of JS. SO funny, much more likeable. The best part is at the end when JS says "I thought I was the 'pop' star?" and Miss P responds, "you wish". Just Perfect.

I'm determined to get to sleep early tonight, so only 30min internet time tonight, then american idol, then reading in bed for little bit. Supposed to have snow tomorrow, anything from 1"-8". The weather guys have no idea really. Just have to wait and see. I'm scheduled to get my first series of allergy shots tomorrow. Was tempted to call and re-schedule today. But I'm tired of being a baby and cancelling stuff on the chance of snow. So until we have whiteout conditions I'm just going to go. I hate driving in snow though - but I live in upstate NY so it's inevitable really.

I was telling my sis about the american idol pool we've having at work and all the rules of it. She was like, "uhh, you chemists, have to make everything complicated" :)
Anyhoo, they added one more quick bet - pick the 6 guys/6 girls that will make it to the finals. Another bet - pick the top 10(in any order). The big bet($5)is to rank the top 10 (winner all the way down)- this we have to hand in before results night for the top 10. The person who comes closest in people and order wins that pot. Then there are mini bets as we go along, where we rank the remiaining people every week. Points are tallied at the end of the show. That's the gist of it as far as I understand. How the points are scored is complicated but I don't care. I don't need to know know that. But the way it's done, everyone has a chance to win something and everything doesn't just go to one person. If 2 people have identical picks, the pot's split. So it should be fun.

One bonus of watching american idol is that now I know what people are talking about. Plus my sis watches as well from the UK, but they're lucky in a way - they see it on the Fri but altogether(girls/guys/results).

Oooh, got to go, Ace is about to go on. :)
