Shortest fuse
My 10 favorite Kelly Clarkson songs:
10. Beautiful Disaster
9. Long Shot
8. I Do Not Hook Up
7. Don't Waste Your Time
6. Maybe
5. Be Still
4. Chivas
3. Since U Been Gone
2. I Want You
1. Addicted
My favorite song she's ever sung, ever, though? The minute and a half of "Stuff Like That There" on her season of Idol. Still gives me shivers.
I don't even watch Idol anymore, but I read the Television Without Pity recaps, because Jacob Clifton writes them, and I think he is a recapping genius. The first thing I read of his was a Mondo Extra recap of the disastrous movie version of A Wrinkle in Time, and I've been in love ever since. So I am aware of what's going down on Idol, but actually dealing with it, with Ryan and Paula and the guy with the dead wife and the blind kid? I don't have the energy.
However, I do occasionally think about how fucking huge the show has gotten compared to the ghetto-tastic first season, where they auditioned for the top ten with only one plinky piano to back them up, and where they only had live musicians for the top six performance show. And I daydream sometimes about what it would have been like to hear and watch Kelly and, like, Tamyra Gray interact with a live band. I mean, the big band episode was the pinnacle of that season, and for the rest of the episodes, the contestants had to sing with canned music and backup vocals, which was the fucking worst.
Around season three, people started saying, "No fucking way Kelly Clarkson would have even made the top 36 this year," which infuriated me, because Kelly Clarkson is the best contestant the show has ever had and certainly the most successful winner, but now I wonder if those idiots may have been right, because she barely made the top 30 in her own season, when far fewer people even auditioned, because the judges were too dumb to pick up on her talent until America noticed her for them. Good work, America.
I don't know, I think the show has tried to get more interesting after the disaster that was Taylor Hicks, ostensibly giving the contestants more creative control over the songs they perform, but I just haven't seen anyone with Kelly Clarkson's talent, showmanship, and broad appeal. Which is really what this dumb show is about--broad appeal.
Also, I actually watched an episode on Tuesday, and it was awful. The judges are even worse than I remember--even Simon was not impressing me. Paula was a fuckin' hot mess, but not even in the fun way anymore. I mean, I like knowing what's going on, but I just cannot watch this disasterpiece theater. Give me some more stuff like that there.

Tempering my crazy
Kelly Clarkson songs I can't stand:
"Breakaway"
"Because of You"
"If No One Will Listen"
And "A Moment Like This" and "Before Your Love," of course, but those weren't her fault. I almost hate "Miss Independent," but she loves performing it live, and that has saved it.
There. I am that objective when it comes to Kelly Clarkson. Ahem.

No longer a music snob, part two
Here's a horrible story: I only bought (or...otherwise obtained, ahem) nine full-length albums released this year. As opposed to the, like, nine I bought last year. One of these is a comedy album, and the other is a movie soundtrack, so we'll say seven. Seven!
Anyway, here's the order in which I like them:
Top Seven Albums of 2008
1. Didn't It Feel Kinder - Amy Ray
Favorite songs: "Who Sold the Gun," "Cold Shoulder," "Stand and Deliver," "Rabbit Foot"
2. Flavors of Entanglement - Alanis Morissette
Favorite songs: "Underneath," "Not As We," "On the Tequila"
3. Be OK - Ingrid Michaelson
Favorite songs: "The Chain," "You and I"
4. Summer Rains - The Ditty Bops
Favorite songs: "When's She Coming Home," "I Stole Your Wishes"
5. Volume One - She & Him
Favorite songs: "You Really Got a Hold on Me," "Black Hole"
6. Way to Normal - Ben Folds
Favorite songs: "You Don't Know Me" (with Regina Spektor), "Effington"
7. Weezer (Red Album) - Weezer
Favorite songs: "Pork and Beans," "Everybody Get Dangerous"
A lady-heavy list, indeed, including three lesbians, and the efforts from the boys I did not enjoy as much as I hoped I would. What did I miss this year? And where have I been?

Favorite Christmas songs
All the cool kids like to bitch about how cheesy and awful and goddamn annoying Christmas music is, and that's true when you're in the mall, but now that I'm no longer forced to listen to it, I love Christmas music again. My favorites are the ones that have little to do with Jesus, because I'm a heathen, but despite the fact that I have no use for Christianity (or religion of any kind), I still do love the traditional songs, because they're familiar, and some of them are quite lovely. And if you look at the story of the birth of Jesus as what it is--a myth--then, you know, it's kind of a sweet story.
But anyway, this is not about Christianity, this is about my top five favorite Christmas songs:
5. What Child Is This? - as sung by Sarah McLachlan
4. River - Joni Mitchell
3. What's This? - from The Nightmare Before Christmas
2. Spotlight on Christmas - Rufus Wainwright
1. Welcome Christmas - from How the Grinch Stole Christmas
How do you feel about Christmas music, internet?

I haven't done this in a while
So I got a request to write a blog post, even though I've been updating pretty regularly lately, but I'm agreeable, so I agreed, but instead of writing a post, I went to go look at Nintendo DS games. I miss Dr. Mario. I wish they had that for the DS. I did find this though! Almost as good as Dr. Mario for the DS. In fact, it's better! Because I could play it at work!
Anyway, the point of this blog post was supposed to be lists, so here are some lists.
Top ten most embarrassing songs in my iTunes library:
1. Crazy for This Girl - Evan & Jaron (Oh the shame. It's just so catchy.)
2. Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne
3. Call Me When You're Sober - Evanescence (I hate Evanescence, but Mike and I used to hear this at the bar all the time, and it was fun to wail along with it.)
4. I Turn to You - Melanie C.
5. Does Your Mother Know - Abba
6. Anytime - Kelly Clarkson
7. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) - Beyonce (I have no idea why I love this song, because the lyrics and the message are abhorrent, but gosh darnit, it's fun!)
8. My Dad Is Rich - Draco and the Malfoys (Oh yes. Wizard Rock is embarrassing.)
9. Always Be My Baby - Mariah Carey
10. Leave the Pieces - The Wreckers
Top ten favorite words*
1. betwixt
2. halfwit
3. obdurate
4. nozzle
5. bananas
6. corroborate
7. blerg
8. faggotry (used only by the gays and those who love us)
9. weegeltons
10. scrumtrilescent
*Not so much because of what they mean, but because of how fun they are to say.
Top ten favorite meals
1. chicken pad thai
2. sushi and edamame
3. pizza and buffalo wings
4. pork chops and applesauce
5. spaghetti and meatballs
6. bacon cheeseburger and french fries
7. oysters, steamed muscles, and clam chowder
8. grilled cheese and tomato soup
9. steak burrito and beer
10. barbecue chicken flatbread pizza
My stupid cat has fleas, and I couldn't even get him to sit still so I could put the flea medicine on him, so half of it may have missed, and I had to vacuum everything and do more laundry, and I feel like ass. Frakkin' animals.

5. The Little Mermaid

I find it entirely charming how Brandi used to introduce "My Song" by saying, "Now we're gonna go ahead and bring the rock." Adorable.
Last night, I watched 10 Things I Hate About You, because dead Heath Ledger bummed me out, and he's funny in this one. So is Allison Janney. Whatever happened to Larisa Oleynik? I miss you, Alex Mack. I can't decide if I think Julia Stiles is pretty. Gabrielle Union should not play a ditz--that's beneath her. Joey Gordon-Levitt (or, probably Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I'm sure he prefers now) will always be the kid from Angels in the Outfield.

That reminds me: on Sunday, Martha asked me about Project Runway, and I was like, "Yeah, I've been watching it, and I am bitter about the dismissal of Kit," but then she wanted to keep discussing it, and I was like, "Shut up! There's a football game on." How rude of me. But, I mean, that Patriots game was making my brain short circuit.
I also got this weird myspace spam today, from some girl who was like, "I see you like Carrie Underwood, here's where you can listen to her new album online" or something, and I was like "What! Carrie Underwood? How dare you!" I fucking hate Carrie Underwood. That was not festive at all.
