This is her favorite position. Notice Ryan has his legs up on a second chair so she can use as much lap space as she'd like for stretching out.
I couldn't resist taking a picture of her cute fluffy paws.
This is what happens when you try to disturb her when she's relaxing. As much as she loves her Daddy, she doesn't hesitate to bite him!
The top needle is the smallest size I'm used to using (size #1), and I like to make socks with them. It's 2.25mm in diameter. The last two needles are the new ones. The middle one is a size 000-000 and it's .75mm in diameter. The bottom needle is the one that's really freaking me out. I am completely and utterly terrified by it. It's a size 0000-0000 and only .5mm!
Mark. Claims people think he looks like Jack Black. I don't see it, and that's actually a good thing. I was prepared to hate, but he won both me and Karla over when he chose to sing Tempted by Squeeze and made it through to Hollywood.
I was a bit pissed because I thought when the camera started to bring this image into focus that it'd be a butt, but it was just the age-old trick of making knees look like an ass!
Casey James. He was in a motorcycle accident and had a long recovery. His voice isn't great, but Kara and Victoria want to act like the guys do and make Casey put his hair down and take his shirt off so they can ogle him! It would have been completely awesome if Casey had actually worked out at all. They also told him to work on his personality, but his looks were still enough to get him to Hollywood (And the Top 24. Oops! Spoiler alert!)
"You're like a human orange!" Simon says to Tori after Victoria tells her she's sunny.
Austin. Totally full of himself and loves to talk about how he's a football player AND a singer/songwriter. After listening to him sing, Victoria tells him that instead of being good, his performance made her "get a bit itchy from it". Of course, Austin can't believe that they all said "No". 
Kenny. After his audition Simon tells him "It sounded like you've been punched and you were just screaming".
This girl emitted a piercing shriek in her attempt to hit a high note, and Simon said "You just killed every cat in Denver!" 
Nicci Nix flew 14 hours from Florence, Italy to audition. She has a strange cartoony speaking voice and Simon wanted to know if she'd eaten any Helium today. "A million percent?!" Karla is amazed at Randy's enthusiasm for sending Nicci to Hollywood. "I'd be 75%!" I wholeheartedly agreed with Karla's much more reasonable assessment.
Haeley. Her goal is to be the first black country singer from Idol. Great. I suppose she could look up to Charley Pride and hang out with Cowboy Troy. Scratch that, if she hung out with the ridiculous Cowboy Troy I'd have to do some serious ass-kicking!
Last year we had Bikini Girl, this year we unfortunately get Bikini Boy. Instantly all four judges get pissed off and get bleeped because they all say "Oh, fuck!" and then they all get up and leave en masse, leaving Bikini Boy to stand there all alone while the Golden Ticket holder tries not to look at him and crack up.
Like a total guy, he just goes for it and scratches his ass on camera.
I was so happy to see that Lady Gaga got to open the Grammies, and even happier still that she got to collaborate with Elton John! I was shocked that he allowed himself to be slightly Gaga-ized in the process, too. I always imagined he was a bit of a Diva when it came to what he wanted to wear when performing.
Is it just me, or do the backup dances shown here for BEP look kind of like they have giant red clitorises as heads? I mentioned this to Ryan twice and he chose to ignore me.
This Justin Bieber kid (he's 16) must either be super short or Ke$ha is really tall. I'm leaning towards him practically being a midget.
I think it's cool that Pink is now really into doing her own aerial performances, but I've seen her do this all year and I'm a little tired of it. The water was a nice extra touch, though.
What was up with Roberta Flack's performance with Maxwell? Her voice is still great, but she was walking around like she couldn't really move that well. I was afraid that the giant sparkly choker was there just to keep her head attached to her shoulders!
Taylor Swift is a sweet girl, but God she was horribly out of tune while she was singing with Stevie Nicks. It was TERRIBLE! I didn't want to fast forward through her performance, but after you have people on like Gaga, Beyonce, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood you think that you'd want to step up your vocal game! I've always known she didn't have the best vocal ability, but last night was the worst I've ever heard her sound!\
Julie tried out for Idol 8 years ago on the very first season, and she's actually back! In a totally awesome move, after she sings and still sounds terrible (but better than she did 8 years ago), NPH in a move that was made of nothing but awesome, mocked her for making a homemade sign where she clearly had difficulties with measuring space, THEN went for the kill and gave her a definite "No".
This guy Dexter was flamboyantly gay and mistakenly confident about his singing ability, and we all found his facial expressions mesmerizing especially when he licked his lips.
Not only did Dexter lick his lips, he also winked repeatedly at the camera!
And then when he was shot down for not being able to sing decently, he cried.
Dave has Tourettes syndrome. Sadly, he doesn't have the funny kind where he breaks out with the swears during inappropriate times. Nope, he's just got some twitching and throat clearing going on. They say he's from Mountain Home, Arkansas, but in the background where he's walking around, there's a water tower that clearly says Gassville.
Vanessa is obsessed with pink, as you can see by her outfit and pink eyeshadow.
Like Dexter, she's got some kind of tongue fetish going on and flicks it around like it's possessed. She couldn't sing at all, and Brandon had the best description of her voice. He said it sounded like a "high-pitched monotone". So true!
Joe Jonas was the worst guest judge yet. As much as I despise Avril, at least she actually spoke a few times. It seems like Joe didn't say a single word! Although as you can see, he did take the time to ogle 16 year old Christian (a girl).
Avril and her damn hoodie.
Having an IQ of 168 didn't save pretentious creepy wack-job Neil Goldstein from the curse of not only having a terrible voice but the inability to realize the truth about his lack of talent. Also, the fact that his hair was two different lengths for the video portions was really distracting! I know they film things weeks apart at times, but come on, that's sloppy, Fox!
I just thought that having an Asian guy who, for some inexplicable reason chose to perform the song "Kung Fu Fighting" while singing in Engrish was too funny!
