vovatOkay, I have a few things to say this time around:
1. I'm pleasantly surprised that all four of my picks for American Idol Wild Cards actually made it. I thought for sure that someone like Matthew Metzger would get through. There was some article on MSN about how some people think the contestants this season are a lot worse than before, but I don't see how they could possibly be as bad as the Season 1 finalists. I mean, Kelly Clarkson and Tamyra Gray were good singers, but I didn't get much sense of personality from them. I guess Nikki McKibbin and Ryan Starr had personalities, but they weren't GOOD personalities. Then again, the judges can never seem to decide what they're looking for in that respect, sometimes rejecting people because they lack personality or star quality, and other times insisting that they're simply looking for "the best singer in America" (apparently not realizing that the best singer in America might well be over 24 and/or unwilling to wait in line for three days to audition).
2. Sunday's Simpsons episode was pretty good, although I liked Artie Ziff's last appearance better. The current staff seems to be making an effort to bring back quite a few old characters. The scene at Moe's with several characters who had been voiced by Jon Lovitz was a nice touch.
3. I had a dream last night that I went on some ride at an amusement park with both Neko Case and Tori Amos. I think Beth might have been there at first, but she must have either disappeared or turned into some other person, because, after the ride was over, I was following some kids who wanted to meet the two musicians, but I didn't follow them into some area where we weren't supposed to be. After that, I was somehow at a shopping mall, and then in what was supposed to be my old college dorm. It was about time for me to graduate, but I wasn't sure when I was supposed to leave, or which mailbox was mine.
4. I have a character and town on Beth's Animal Crossing game. I obviously don't get to play it every day, since it's at her house. It's always when I AM playing and want to sell stuff that Tom Nook's store is closed, though. It's annoying.
