And The Winner Is!

David Cook and his Mom





David Cook

He is our American Idol 2008 Winner
and I could not be more excited!

He received 56 percent of the 97.5 million
votes that were cast

I think he is terrific and it seems
he is a great showman, even tho, he is
just beginning, his presence on stage is just
so confident!

His closing song, was sung flawlessly!

He should be where he is!

Congrats also goes out to David Archuleta
for a very young man, he will go far!

What a great season! I enjoyed it immensely

Congrats David Cook, Have the "Time of your Life"

GM - good nite!!

MEK in AZ said...

Just_Lin said...

Good night Goldie!!

Hi iteach!!

iteach said...

Hi J/L!!

iteach said...

J/L which state will you be meeting Custard at?

MEK in AZ said...

220

Just_Lin said...

iteach California. We're going back to the hometown because we didn't get everything done that we wanted to. Also, I go down early and spend a few days with my mom and brother first. I get more bang for my buck, so to speak. LOL

Tinkatia said...

Mek - I turn my back for a minute and you get both 200 and 220. You are just too good for me. I concede. You are the Master of Marches.

iteach said...

J/L I think I will be in California the same time as you.

We are going to LA for a quick romantic weekend getaway.

It is my favorite type of vacation, because it is free.

We have a lot of flyer miles racked up and free hotel rooms from all the traveling he use to do at his old job.

We bought Dodger tickets (they are playing the Cubs!!) back in March, so we are set!

We just have to pay for food.

Just_Lin said...

iteach That's great! I hope you have a wonderful time.

iteach said...

J/L I hope you have a wonderful time too!!!

Just_Lin said...

iteach Round trip airfare from San Francsico to Ontario, CA is now $474!!! It's so ridiculous! Custard's flight from Boise is twice as long but costs less than $200.

iteach said...

It is time to count sheep, good night everyone!!

iteach said...

If we didn't have those free flyer miles to use, we would be visiting a tent in our backyard!

Just_Lin said...

Good night iteach!

Tinkatia said...

It's time for all the younger owls to be going to bed and I am going with them. Thanks for the fun today. Good Night and
God Bless. Love, Tinka

Tinkatia said...

I do believe I ended with #230 - not a bad way to end the day.

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

OMG!!! Did Louigee pop a boner on So You Think You Can Dance?????

MEK in AZ said...

OMG - It is pouring down rain here.
that does NOT happen very often - and it is a soft rain - gotta love it!!

Nite Iteach and Tinks..

barb in wa - I must have missed that!! it's over here now...

I found Devil Wears Prada on HBO - so I'm set until I go to bed...

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

goldie.....i can ALWAYS use your special sumpin sumpin for the brownies!!!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

MEK....it was the last guy dancing in his undies. They blocked his "special area" out when he was on the floor and then when he got up....well....looked to me like he popped one!

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

ok....off to watch greys!

MEK in AZ said...

Barb - I thought they "blocked" him out cuz he fell out of his little underwear!! LOL -

Tinkatia said...

I would like to clarify one thing before I go to bed. When I said I found out how to be good at marching was not to do anything constructive all day, I was referring ONLY to myself and my inability to multi task. In no way did I mean to imply that anyone else who is good at marching is not doing anything else constructive. Please forgive me if any marcher thought I was referring to anyone but myself. I think we are a bunch of very constructive owls.
Back to regular programming.

MEK in AZ said...

Tinka - we love you !! and you comment did not warrant a disclaimer - but thank you!!

Happy marching and sweet dreams!!

MEK in AZ said...

sacBarb said...

OK I screwed up 249 but I got 250.

Watching Grey's and it is really good. Commercial now.

I hope everyone is having a good evening.

Bon'O said...

ZONA~~Doing the Happy Dance for "50 and raining in AZ"

Could Grey's be more intense tonight?

DreamaTexas said...

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or did I really see Grandma Moses doing a march. :0)

DreamaTexas said...

Ok, I'm going to bed and the news is doing huge alerts for public safety concerns.How wonderful, NOT! We have a maniac off of his Prozac & meds roaming the city in his truck. There is a massive search going on trying to find him since he poses a danger to not only himself but to others. My Handgun is on night stand even tough I do have 2 alarm systems, home alarm and dog back up alarm. Boy,she has a really keen sense of hearing.
Goodnight owls.

Bon'O said...

Well, yes, as a matter of fact Grey's COULD and DID get more intense. Good stuff!!

Zona said...

BON'O: Grey's was eccellente!!! ;)

SACBARB: Did you love the show tonight?? didja huh didja?? Congrats on 250!!

VIG: What did you think of it??

Just_Lin said...

Grey's was really good. Totally enjoyed it.

Amicus Thank you for the links to those commercials. I'm going to watch them now. :)

Zona said...

HI J/LIN!! Coming down to the wire now..are you excited??

Just_Lin said...

Hi Zona Yes, I'm getting very excited. :):):)

The David Cook commercial was good and fun to watch. Little David doesn't know how to rock out, though.

Just_Lin said...

260

Just_Lin said...

I'm going to call it a night. Sleep well, Owls.

Just_Lin said...

262 So it will be even for Jennifer.

Zona said...

J/LIN: WooHoo!! ;)

G'night sweet lady!!

Zona said...

I got the 264 for Jennifer...

Anonymous said...

Hey Grey's fans! I agree Zona, Bono'o, SacBarb, just_lin, Grey's was soooooooo good tonight. I think it was the best show this season! Too bad now that we have to wait until September to see what happens next!

sacBarb said...

Zona, Bon, VIG, and J/L: Yes, yes, yes, Grey's was intense and yes it was the best episode this season.

Ugly Betty was pretty good too.

Amicus: Thanks for the links to the guitar Hero commercials. Cook is clearly the winner. Yes, J/L little David looked very uncomfortable trying to rock out. And I loved that it brought back memories of Risky Business.

Jodi said...

Anyone still up?

Waving a wing at ZONA, VIG (how's the eye?), and SACBARB!!!

Zona said...

JODI: Gotta thank TINA for showing me the Urban Dictionary, cuz I sure could get myself in a lot of trouble without it..;)

HI WHABBEAR!! Sweet night..sweet dreams!

whabbear said...

Hey, Jodi and Zona!

We're doing our usual decompression number before heading to bed. That means relax, have a quick vodka/collins, and do the internet thing (me) and read today's paper (Huz).

And what's YOUR excuses for being such late night owls????

Zona said...

WHABBEAR: It's COLD outside and I'm soaking in every second of it..!!

whabbear said...

Zona: I know! We have the window open and it's quite brisk! I can't believe the forecast high for tomorrow is only 70 !!

Total winter!

Jodi said...

WHABBY - Getting ready for work!! Got to feed my addiction, dontcha know!!

DreamaTexas said...
