Off to a fantastic start

The title of this post should be read as if it were dripping with sarcasm. Because it is.

I actually gained weight this week! only .4lbs, but still. Bummer.

I think it may have something to do with all the exercise I got this weekend. It was a lot for me, and I think my body is having trouble adjusting and is retaining water. Hopefully I will see a big loss next week.

I have to run to campus tomorrow for books and a TA meeting. It wouldn't be so bad, but Matthew's truck is having issues so I have to work around his schedule as well. His classes started today (and went well) and mine start on Wednesday. I actually just dropped one of my classes because I realize my courseload is going to be huge, and I have to teach and grade a ton of research papers. Hopefully dropping the class will make things easier for me.

I'm going to go get some stuff together for tomorrow. Have a wonderful night! Oh, and don't forget about American Idol tomorrow night :D

Never thought of that

Apparently Ellen DeGeneres will be the new Paula on American Idol. I like it. I think that might just be crazy enough to work....

Your thoughts?

I have watched American Idol on and off during its 8 seasons. I remember watching the first one, then I skipped a couple and didn't really get back into it until season 5. I was for sure that Chris Daughtry was going to win. I skipped season 6, and got back into it last season and love David Cook :) This season, I have watched it almost religiously, and now that the finale is next week, I feel I must share my opinions, and get yours as well!

I'm a little disappointed to see Danny go. I really like all three of them, so I guess it would have been disappointing either way. I feel like everyone thinks of Adam as the shoe-in for the title, but I also feel like Danny and Kris are better singers than him. The difference is that Adam is the better performer. At first I was certain that it would be Adam and Danny in the top two. As I got use to Kris and even Allison, I figured it could go a number of ways. I love Kris as a singer, but I didn't expect him to outlast Allison, and definitely not Danny. I think, though, that he could come in from behind and take the title from Adam. Adam will not have any issues getting a record deal whether or not he wins, so I think Kris should win. That is just my opinion though. You tell me now... what's yours?

Be Careful

One of my television crushes is back on... that's right, it's American Idol. I have watched the auditions religiously, especially the Lousiville one. I really wanted to see if someone I knew was on it. I didn't see anyone that I knew personally, but I did see someone from the radio show I listen to every morning on it. I'll put the video on the bottom of this post for your enjoyment.

Anyway, while watching the Louisville auditions, I saw the preview of the so-called threat. I thought to myself "only in Kentucky would someone threaten the judges." When I saw this "threat" though, I was very disappointed with Paula and Simon. The poor guy was told no, and on his way out he said "Take care and be careful." Paula and Simon flipped thinking that his "be careful" was a threat to them. It SO was not a threat. I realize that there are many cultural difference between LA and Kentucky, but c'mon. We say be careful all the time, as a way of showing that we care for someone. I think they had it out for him from the beginning when Simon asked if he had a gun (which was just his cell phone/UK case). The whole situation was blown way out of proportion. Apparently they released a statement yesterday apologizing for the incident. You can read it on MSN here.

And now for your viewing/listening pleasure, I bring you.... Patrick
