two things that are AWESOME

Next week's mentor on Idol will be QUENTIN TARANTINO for another movie music night. Remember season 3, when they let the mentors be guest judges, and he sat there being snarky (and shockingly knowledgeable as usual) between Paula and Simon, and then applauded when Ryan sat in Simon's lap? (Ryan did a lot of that in season 3.) I am eager to see what QT will make of Danny, whether QT will fanboy all over Adam, whether Anoop will fanboy all over QT, whether he'll say "fuck singing" and try to put Allison in his next movie because she is his kind of chick, whether he can keep Lil from singing a Whitney song, whether Kris has a clear sense of who he is, and whether he and Matt will have anything at all to say to each other.

South Park took a swipe at Kanye's giant ego this week, and Kanye responded on his blog (get this) thoughtfully, about how he can be a better person. I'm totes serious. Okay, it was in all caps, but he's always in all caps. A sample:

AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

You can read the rest here: SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT. Not long and totally worth it. I think his heart grew three sizes yesterday.

I miss all the rymon. There has been a little bit this season, but nothing epic. It's quite sad.
And woot! for QT!

OMG, I'm so glad you linked me to the Kanye thing. AWWWW! And he was paralleled with Cartman, who they are totally affectionate towards. I love his response!

Also I'm totally psyched about QT. This could be interesting.

Wow, Kanye took that ep (which was epic) better than I would have expected. Now if he'd just lose the capslock...:)

(Also, I guess I need to watch South Park more often. I was shocked by Cartman's anti-Semitism.)

I read the Kanye blog earlier and liked it too. Kanye's blog makes me like him a lot, because he is such a dork and all he ever posts are things like, "I NEED THESE SHOES" and "FLY COUCH!" and "CHECK OUT THIS STAR WARS HOODIE!!!!!!!!"

Well, he was in Europe the past couple of days, so there's that. And when there is stuff, it's bigger and less ambiguous and bitchy, like the Kelly Clarkson song, which, what? And he still plays that two times a morning. But yeah, not the steady supply of, say, s6.

I can't even deal with my QT excitement.

Cartman hates everyone, equally.

He is SUCH a dork. I love his all-caps plebe style.

I feel that the opening of his film the weekend of my birthday is the universe's present to ME.

South Park I'm ambivalent about. Sometimes it tries too hard. OTOH, "Loving You" will always be connected in my brain to John Stamos's brother and exploding goats.
