4/21: What's wrong with Jordin Sparks Kelly
Clarkson performs for the Pope

post from American Idol Blog on 20 April 2008 10:33:36 PM. © American Idol Blog

Jordin Sparks canceled an appearance at Penn State Sunday due to “an acute vocal cord hemorrhage condition.”

Because of the risk of permanent vocal cord damage, Sparks has been ordered to strict vocal rest and will not be able to perform anywhere until her condition improves.

Let’s hope she gets better quickly!

Now here’s quite an honor! Kelly Clarkson sang “Ava Maria” for the Pope at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers Saturday:

(NOTE: Archey Angels: I’m making logos for everyone. This doesn’t mean I am no longer behind David Archuleta. I thought David Cook fans would also like to have “FTMFW” after their Idol. Thanks for understanding. Still working on the awesome Archuleta logo…)I took daily snapshots of the iTunes daily chart since Thursday, and David Cook’s [...]

It's movie time

post from High Lord Dave's Blog on 20 April 2008 02:19:00 PM. © High Lord Dave's Blog

Howdy, folks. Just checking in for a rare weekend posting.

Mrs. High Lord and I went to the movies this afternoon. We saw The Forbidden Kingdom, the first on-screen collaboration between Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I had heard before that Chan initially passed on the movie, but when he heard Li had signed on, quickly changed his mind. It also features Michael Angarano (Jack's son Elliott from Will & Grace) and the super-hawt Yifei Liu.

It's kind of a schizophrenic movie; as kind of a cross between Rush Hour, Bulletproof Monk, Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it tries to balance humour, romance, Zen and action. As often as not, it comes up short because they're trying to do too much.

The fight scenes featuring Chan and Li are very good. Unlike many of their previous movies, they mix in several effects that clearly defy the laws of physics for the sake of mysticism or magic, but they're entertaining nonetheless. The "plot" is thin (not quite as thin as the plot in a Jenna Jameson movie, but close) and the dialogue is laughable (not in the good way) in parts. The romance angle is underplayed and the tendency of Sparrow (Yifei) to speak in the third person is somewhere between annoying and confusing.

We only paid the matinee price, so I don't feel like I was ripped off, but I probably would not go to see in in the theaters again. On the up side, I'm getting very excited about the upcoming Iron Man movie . . . not so much about the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie.

As an administrative note, Mrs. High Lord and I are going to Florida for a week in May, so I won't be around to live-blog DWTS and Idol that week, so you'll have to wait until I get back at the end of the week to read my recaps. I'll post more on this when we get closer.

I'm also trying something new at work: I'm trying to lose weight at an office job. It's hard to go from a classroom to a cubicle and not put on a few pounds. I was walking anywhere from 4 to 5 miles a day at the high school, so I've got to find some way to pick up the slack.

To help out with this, I've started taking the stairs whenever I go somewhere in the building (it's only three floors, but every little bit helps). I also set the printer across the room as my default printer instead of the one next to my desk.

And just last week I started wearing ankle weights to work. Yes, it is kind of dorky, but the extra five pounds is sure to add a little bit of muscle, right? I turned one of the back stairwells into my own private Stairmaster; I do three laps up and down each day, right now with 5 pounds on the ankles, but I'm going to work up to 10 pounds (5 pounds per) and increase my laps once I can do it without my legs feeling like they're going to burst into flame. Plus, I can do leg lifts under the desk while I'm just sitting there.

I don't know that it will work, but I've got to do something in terms of exercise and adjusting my diet or I'll put on even more weight. If anyone has any other tips as far as office exercises, let me know.

Anyway, I hope you're having a great weekend.
