Internet-less for the past 24 hours. I couldn’t check my e-mail, couldn’t blog hop, and I was agitated. Like her, I had withdrawal symptoms. I had restarted my modem and my router countless times, thinking that it was just my connection. Until her message arrived, then I knew it wasn’t just me.

However, thank goodness for TV. I spent a good 2 hours and a half watching Idol Gives Back, and spending half of it crying my eyes off, a quarter of it laughing, and the rest just enjoying the performances. I quite loved the opening performance by the contestants with their rendition of Rihanna’s Don’t Stop The Music. I also loved their performance on “Season of Love”.

I want to download the performances on iTunes, but there are some pages (including Blogspot blogs) that are inaccessible at the moment. (Internet still recovering in this part of the world, I guess.)

But tonight’s episode caused an upset in this household. One of my favourites had the least number of votes, and that sucks. I hate seeing my favourite go while some other not-so-good performers *coughKristyLeeCookcough* are still in the running.

I am glad, however, that Jason Castro did a brilliant cover of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. I’ve never really thought he had beaten his Daydream performance during top 24, until now. BRILLIANT! Love, love, looooove Jason Castro and his $600 ukulele.

Back to last night, after Idol Gives Back closed, I spent some time trying to connect to the Internet as if my life depended on it. LOL. In retrospect, it was quite all right. Because I ended up reading up on a few books. I finished just one, titled Hex And The Single Girl by Valerie Frankel. Loved it, light, and funny. Just the right ingredients for a good book, in my opinion.

Going to have an early night tonight, so I better start right on it.
