Hi kids! Happy New Year, and happy New Idol! I am crawling out from my hibernation to tell you that American Idol Season 8 (I can’t believe we are already at 8!) begins January 13 meaning there are 12 days until we resume the craziness. Here at IdolReview, because I want to get back into the Idol spirit (and because I have yet to de-Christmas my life) I will be doing the 12 days of Idol, meaning a fun new post with a new gift for you every day until the premiere. Today, the first day of Idol, you get one new masthead (see above). Yay!
So, guess who is GOING TO THE FINALE IN LA ON WEDNESDAY! Omg Omg Omg.
I got vouchers for tickets, so it is not 100% guaranteed, but when given an opportunity like this I HAVE to try. So I am flying out Wednesday morning. And hope to use my good Idol luck, favor with the Idol Gods, and if necessary, a lot of begging to get in. More as this transpires…
I won’t be able to watch until late tonight (or perhaps the wee hours of tomorrow?), so I’ll post as soon as I can get home and watch. But I hear Paula was in rare form tonight. I’m looking forward to the spectacle!
Just a few images to whet your palate as I organize and upload the rest of the photos/video, but I have a few photos to share of the idols showing love for idolreview:
A little housekeeping – I have updated the music section, so all the info is current and all the links work (as of today).
Also, I have added a forum tab above – this is still a work in progress, but I am using a service by toptensources.com, and their people are actively working on improving the service. It’s better than me having an individual forum, which may not see much action. So this way, users from several sites are contributing to one forum discussion. Right now, you can click on a topic thread and it pops up in a new window, but they are working to eliminate the popups. If you do use it or check it out, please give me feedback, so I can let them know how to make this service work better.
Well, I don’t have the rich part yet, or really the famous part yet, but this is the first step: I got IM-interviewed by Blender Magazine’s blog this morning along with MJ, Judge Jru, and Amanda. How much fun is that?
Watching an entire season of lost in 1 sitting is not for the faint of heart. Sayid cracked a few dudes' necks so I guess it's time for bed. 2 weeks ago

I bought a knock-off eames lounge chair on CL for $55 -- I am so excited! This will force me to learn to refinish AND reupholster. 3 weeks ago
