My first-ever recording with the new DVR was a smashing success. I knew, because Corie had told me and I had even witnessed in real life at her house, that it was gonna be cool, and let me just say that it was, my friends. It so was.
We started watching from the beginning 45 minutes after American Idol started tonight and through what can only be pure magic finished up at 2 past 10. How this works is utter mystery to me. Hubby could probably explain it but I don't really need to know. I know that for all you old TiVo and DVR pros this is no big deal, but just to be able to whiz past all the blah blah blah and the commercials was nothing short of exhilarating. And the sweetest treat is the way it swooped back just a bit when I let my thumb off the fast forward button so I didn't have to stop and rewind again. You know? Miraculous.
(I had sorta hoped that we could get an actual TiVo, just because I like the little "plurp!" noise it makes, and the cute little picture of the TiVo guy, but I'm trying hard not to be ungrateful.)
It was so much fun watching this way that I almost, but not quite, forgot how miserable my mouth is. I don't know about you, but I like my teeth to feel familiar and peaceful when I run my tongue around them. This temporary crown is weird, unstable, and uncomfortable. It doesn't fit -- kind of the Amanda Overmyer of my teeth. I'm hopeful that in two weeks when I get the permanent one it will feel smooth, solid, and confident, more like Brooke.
So. What was up with David A tonight? Bless his heart.
And don't hate me for saying this, but I did not like David Cook's performance. I'm sorry. I thought he was flat in several places and it was just icky for me. On the other hand, Chikezie? Wow. I have been a fan of his since the beginning, and I'm glad he is getting some love from the judges, too. He just had to lose the orange suit and gain some confidence.

Hey Ruthie
Totally agree with you about Chikezie. I loved his performance. It was SO funny at the end when he was walking around the stage. It was like he broke out of his shell or something. SO cool. I really liked David Cook's performance though. My man Michael Johns' did OK. Those two guys are my favorite. I just wish either of them did "Revolution" or "Helter Skelter". They would have rocked it. I posted a review on my blog if you would like to read it and/or comment. I think we will find out tonight who the guest mentor is. Randy Jackson made it slip that Mariah Carey is going to be one of them this year. Great singer, but boy if they have to do her songs...I really feel sorry for the guys!
Loved Chikezie last night too. I also like Brook, Jason (of course I like him -- he's an Aggie!!), and David A. I hope Amanda, David H, or Ramielle go home tonight!
