There is a bird outside, perhaps a mockingbird given the variety in his/her song, that is singing away like it’s the first day of spring. Except it’s midnight. Could someone please tell him to go to sleep so I can? Otherwise, I would BE asleep instead of down here writing a post.

A little late getting started tonight. Grocery shopping always takes longer than I expect. So this is the big Idol Gives Back show, where Idol is donating to charity and the Idols are singing songs of hope and inspiration. We’ll see how the song choice goes, because that theme could go really [...]

I got home too late last night to feel like watching the results show and posting about it. Oh well. Just pretend I was doing this live, right? Also I sorta spoiled myself by checking my RSS feeds before watching this, but I’m going to also ignore that little fact.

I’m late tonight because I went out for a friend’s birthday. ‘Cause friends are better even than American Idol.
Anyone else think that the songwriting contest could be a total disaster?
Ooh, Michael Buble. That’s actually probably better than Tony Bennett. Nothing against Tony, but he’s getting up there, you know. (And I [...]

Yay, standards night! This is, like, my favorite night. Hope I’m not utterly disappointed. I’m also running late, because I, uh, forgot what time it was.
Blake Lewis
song: Mack the Knife
This has always been kind of a weird song for me, but he’s doing a nice job with it. Getting that cool [...]
