American Idol Top 10 Girls

Class ran late, so I’m running a bit late. Oh, well. So the guys actually brought it last night, and put themselves back into the competition. Let’s see if the girls do a reversal as well, and thus…suck. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. (Oh, no, what if [...]

American Idol Top 10 Guys

Okay, boys. Time to step it up. Heh, I like how Ryan just snuck Sundance in there.
Phil Stacey
song: I Ain’t Missing You
original artist: John Waite

Not bad at all. In fact, I thought it was quite good.
Jared Cotter
song: Let’s Get It On
original artist: Marvin Gaye

I felt like he was a bit sharp through [...]

Perpetuating Bad Study Habits

Well, my European Romanticism professor decided to perpetuate my bad study habits by giving me an A- on the paper I turned in last Monday, after writing it on Sunday night. He said overall it was the best group of papers he’s ever graded–no lower than a B+ from anyone in the class, so [...]

Academy Awards for 2006 (spoilers)

Addison’s Anatomy

My favorite Grey’s Anatomy character, Addison Montgomery, may get her own spinoff! Woot!

Langston Hughes poem

I spent the afternoon reading Langston Hughes poems (for a paper I have to write in two weeks), and wow. He’s apparently pretty Communist. Interesting. But then there’s this great anti-academic one (Hughes went to Columbia for a while, but hated it):

Ph.D.
He never was a silly little boy
Who whispered in the class [...]

American Idol Top 24 becomes Top 20 (spoilers)

Grr Arrrgh. My webhost is apparently having severe database issues. Hence the lateness (and terseness) of this.
Interesting guest coaches this year…Gwen Stefani! Cool. And Tony Bennett, so we have a standards or 1950s-style night, which is good for me. I heard we were getting a Beatles theme–apparently it’s British Invasion [...]
