American Idol, Cupcakes and Health...sort of

Idol:
So another season is over. I have to admit the finale was more fun than it normally is. And I have a newfound love for Burt Bacharach (make all the fun you want). I do have to comment on a few things though:
a) Although I can't stand the 4 commercial break dragouts till the winner is announced this year I felt they left not enough time for Taylor to really say anything.
b) I am glad Chris did not win.
c) Katherine would have had a far better shot at winning if she had not done so many Mariah Carey-esque runs. She has a beautiful simple voice. She over did it.
d) I like Taylor in his audition and he grew on me the whole show.
e) I still love Clay Aiken
f) Meatloaf's performances was without a doubt one of the worst performances by such a big artist that I have ever seen. I mean it even topped Britney Spears for bad. So bad. Shockingly so. I'm still a bit stunned.
g) Simon is still smart.

That is my Idol rantings.

Now for cupcakes:
We found the coolest store in Dundas. It's right beside Walkers Chocolate (by the Pita Pit where Erin works!) and all they sell is Cupcakes. It's called, funnily enough, Cupcakes. It's at 1050 King St W and they are open Monday - Saturday I think 12 - 8ish. They sell for $2.50/piece or $13/6, $24/dozen. Now that is a lot to pay for cupcakes but they are good cupcakes. They even had a Pupcake which was mostly peanut butter for dogs! Chewie loved it. So if you are looking for a perfectly unhealthy meal, hit Walkers Chocolate for an appetizer, walk next door to Cupcakes for your dessert, across the road to Pita Pit for a semi healthy main course, and across the road again to TCBY for a frozen yogurt pallet cleanser!

Health, or lack thereof:
I still can't talk. The ENT specialist can't see me till August 4th. I am stressed about surgery and about this and I am getting exceedingly frustrated playing charades. I love him to death but Rich is one of the worst at reading lips and charades. My preop was over 2 hours. My doc's appt after that was over 1 hr and 15 minutes late. So I was 1.5 hours late for work. I'm a bit annoyed at the medical people in general right now. Except paramedics of course.

I think I will watch So You Think You Can Dance tonight. Idol is where I can critically analyze and get into it cause I actually know what is good and bad, not just what I like and don't like. I like the technical aspect of Idol that I get to see. The dancing show however, that is mindless entertainment. I can't dance. I know I can't. I'm so impressed by people who can. I have no idea if that spin was "technically right". All I think is ooooo sparkly. So I am off to watch and relax.

Chewie is 71 lbs we found out. A bit smaller than we thought but she's not done yet.
