Once again American Idol is sweeping the nation… I happen to think people are crazy buuuut I watch it anyways. hehe.
Last night the guys all got up and did their thing and tonight (if I recall correctly) it’s the girls turn. No one has been voted off yet, that happens on Thursday.
Randy is starting to sound like Simon (I mean really, he actually told someone they sounded like a hotel singer or something. I forget exactly)… Paula is still too nice… and then there is Simon. I like Simon, 99% of the time. I think the “theme park” comment is pretty retarded (but I’ve never seen someone perform at a theme park so he could be right?) but he’s brutilly (sp?) truthfull and if these guys can’t handle it now they are sure to have problems in their future, music is a tough business and not everyone is sweet.
Personally, on my notebook here I had Blake’s number (07) underlined three times… he just kicks ass. No, really, he does. That beatboxing thing really ads something and he can sing too, he’s different but sellable, perfect.
One thing though, I think it’s about time that “we” end up voting through a latin singer… and I think it’ll be a girl this time since it was a guy last time.
Oh, and, man… Sundance. I’m sooo glad you wore a proper t-shirt last night, your fur kind of scares me.
Anyways, show your love for your favorite possible idol with one of these :

Projekt Dog is a really neat design set from Chicago artist Julie W. Farrell, her shop BarkArt is one of the most original “pet shops” I’ve seen on Cafepress (and I look A Lot). Tons of awesome dog breed specific illustrations (allthough in my opinion she could have more doxie designs. hehe), she also has a neat set of “Year of the Dog” designs, it’s year of the pig now but you can always celebrate the year of the dog!
In the Projekt Dog department she invites you to email her if you don’t see your desired dog breed, I’ve linked her email address below (click on the Projekt Dog banner image).
About this design she says “Many different dog breed designs done in a unique and urban way. Showcases the akc breeds and their classic personalities. From the French Bulldog to the Labrador Retriever, you will find a dog design you will love!”
Each design has extra versions also, like “Greyhound Mom” and “Greyhound Dad”, I’ve found that breed specific parent designs draw a lot of attention, dogs tend to make their parents proud.
Check it out and if you want, feel free to post a comment here about what you think of these awesome dog illustrations. I just thought you might like to see them :)

Five awesome celtic knotwork hearts by JamieCo Design, each has a Native American name meaning “heart”.
Adanvdo = Cherokee for “heart”, Bijii = Apache for “heart”, Chante = Lakhota for “heart”, Chonoska = Creek for “heart” and last but not least is Hesta which is Cheyenne for “heart”.
My favorite happens to be Bijii, but I have a thing for red so I also really like Chante :)
Jamie’s description for his oh-so-snazzy set of designs is “For those whose love so deeply entangles the small roots of their hearts that even the strongest wind that blows shall not separate them (thus a traveler described “Indian courtship” in Canada during the eighteenth century). In that spirit of interconnection, these Celtic knots’ names are Native American words for heart” and I really appreciate the designs and am glad that he has them out in the world.
Seeing as though it’s almost Valentine’s Day I thought these would be a fitting post.
You can also find these hearts as Mac compatable icons here Warrior~Poet (as well as a ton of other awesome icons and wallpapers.

A new shop & new neato items (and designs!) by CRS
This Tabby Cat you see here is one of the many new designed for this shop,
He is also introducing you to my fun new design group called “Valuable Pet Lessons”!
If you have a cat (or cats!) you know that cats all believe this to be true and you’ve noticed that they seem to think they are wild cats half of the day time too! Running around the house (or yard) like crazed creatures or bouncing off your computer chair like a pinball, typing to your friends online or taking a cat nap on your lap over your nice comfortable newspaper while you tried to read it…. Crazy furry creatures!
Keep your eyes peeled for new Valuable Pet Lessons, they will be popping up everywhere :)
Enjoy your furries!
