Did anyone watch American Idol last night? Did anyone think that Johnny Cash probably rolled over in his grave a little bit when he heard that tripped out freaky version of his song? It reminded me of the movie Serendipity, specifically the girl's boyfriend (formerly known as Aiden from Sex & The City) who had that weirdo sitar band where he had the music video with the peasants and the theives. it was weird. kind of like this dude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM1nav-rjeI

Anyway, I'm fairly conflicted as I am in a pool with some folks from Cheryl's work. I consider myself fairly good at betting who is going home, which is why I even surprised myself this week putting Alexis Grace in the bottom two. But I've yet to hear anyone butcher 'Jolene' like she did, plus, I'll be honest: she's B.O.R.I.N.G. i'm tired of her. I put Scott McIntyre in the bottom two as well. I know, I know, he's blind. He will get some sympathy votes. But if I looked up boring in the urban dictionary those two faces would be staring straight back at me. I'm ready for both of them to go. I can't get me enough Matt Giraurd. I know he won't win, but I think he's fantastic. I can't wait to hear him sing "Walking in Memphis" one week.

On another note, we have a new niece. Sarah Kate is her name, born in a land known for their copious amounts of sitar. That's six nieces and nephews for those counting.

Until next time...
