Since I don't have payroll this morning... I have nothing on my plate until later in the day. So... watch out.
So first, I plan on getting some writing done. I have like a chapter and an epilogue to finish my WIP, so that makes me happy. But this last chapter is smutty as hell so it's going to be a challenge (in more than one way). I love making playlists for my characters as well as for my individual stories. So far today, I have two songs stuck in my head relating to the chapter I'm working on:
Thomas Rhett's Crash and Burn:
(He's so damn cute, he looks just like his papa, Rhett Akins.)
The other is kind of funny when you think about what I'm writing (a messy threesome with an implied love triangle that's been going on for a bit)... because it's Maroon 5's Figure It Out.
(Sorry there's no actual video... not a song M5 ever released that I know of.)
And speaking of Adam Levine, let me transition into a little rant re: The Voice.
I think it was last season when Gwen gave Craig Wayne Boyd a makeover. Cleaned him up, gave him a hair cut, etc. and he went on to win. #TeamBlake, just sayin'. That's fine because sometimes we all need a day at the spa, right? Last night I was watching Monday's episode and saw she gave one of her female team members (Ellie? I don't remember) a makeover as well. She looked really nice, but pretty much all Gwen did was cut off a chunk of her hair, her style and whatnot remained pretty much the same. Either way, I'm sure it made Ellie feel better, prettier, more confident. All A+ things.
Then I saw Braiden.
I'm going to admit, I have a thing for boys with crazy curls. My first crush, back in like the third grade, was on a dark-haired, blue-eyed boy named Mark who had a headful of these crazy waves. I think he's what hooked me (even though he'd gone bleach blond sk8tr boi by high school). Blake cutting his hair in 2006 or so only made it stick harder (go check out the video for Don't Make Me if you want to see what I mean). *tears eyes of soaking wet cowboy* Where was I? Right. Curls. And Braiden Sunshine.
Braiden's only fifteen and cute as a freaking little button, but Gwen will not leave his messy curls alone. Now, he looked adorable on Monday night, but not only does Gwen keep straightening his curls, but she's making him take off his glasses, too. And as far as I'm concerned, she's taking away all his character. The kid has an AMAZING voice, but good lord, Gwen. I got rather annoyed last night after his performance because, as he's talking to Adam, Braiden says something like, "I don't have my glasses, so I can't see you." Wait, what? Someone eventually brought him his glasses so he could gaze upon the beauty that is Adam. *coughs*
His Monday night performance:
This kid kills me. Even though he's #TeamGwen, I'd love for him to win. Also: not nearly enough Blake and Adam banter on Monday night, although Blake did get under Adam's skin with his quip about how Gwen was kicking Adam's but that night. Heh. I'm sure Blake will make nice later and um, apologize or something.
(Yes I'm in strict denial of the Blake/Gwen relationship, so sue me. I wasn't any less delusional when he started dating Miranda either.)
Anyway, I got sidetracked so I think there was something else but now i can't remember. Ugh. Oh well. I guess I'll go back to my smut mongering now. Poor Zek. Just sayin'.

Aw, I would not touch that kid's look one bit. He's a 15 year old boy, for crying out loud! Let him look like an adorable geek. He's going to grow up, get muscles and attitude *and never call his mother* Hahah!
Just listened, too. Great song, agree with Haldoor on being a favorite. The little cutie probably does not have 'THE' package all together to win, but hey, he has so much going for him.

I know, right? When she did it with Craig Wayne Boyd, he needed it. He was an adult and looking a little shaggy. But this kid is just that - a kid. At least let him have his glasses.
He really is amazing for being so freaking young. I'm sure you're right, but I've been surprised on this show before. But he has a ton of potential. The guy I think might win is Jordan Smith. His performance from this week is here: https://youtu.be/FCCoWOTQ918 I also really like the Irish guy, Keith Semple.
Yeah, okay, Amy. No one cares. Go back to your porn. :D
