Is it just me...

,,.or does life in a post-Idol world SUCK?

There is a level of despair that goes along with turning on the Tivo these days. Idol is over. Fantasia's not singing every Wednesday. THERE IS NOTHING TO WATCH!

Okay. Not completely true. There's Last Comic Standing. Which is Idol without the songs and Paula's annoying platitiudes and Ryan and weave bangs and ghetto earrings and--

Alright. It's not Idol. It's not Idol at all.

I AM BORED!!!!!! Yes, I know. No Idol gives me my life back. I can read all the novels I've been saving. I can dig into my back issues of Vogue. I can make crafts and scrapbook my daughter's baby book and bake things and go to the gym and see friends and--

Like I'm actually going to do any of those things? At night? When I'm exhausted? When I'm covered in Mommy Dust and Work Dust and Life Dust? Yeah. Right. Like I wanna be freakin' Martha Stewart. You know what I wanna be? I wanna be watching Idol! I wanna be mocking people with bad hairdos and tacky outfits and backfat!

That's how a sane person spends her evening.

Oh well. I hear they are re-running the first season of America's Next Top Model over on UPN. And that was reality TV at its finest. Ah, the joy of Elyse...

It's not Idol. But it's gonna have to do.
