vovatHappy St. Patrick's Day! Like Mardi Gras, this seems to be a holiday primarily celebrated with heavy drinking, and, not being much of a drinker myself, I doubt I'll do anything to celebrate it, aside from wearing a green sweater. I thought I should acknowledge it anyway, though. Last year, Beth and I went to dinner at Bennigan's on St. Patrick's Day, and there was a cover charge just to get in. I don't think we'll be doing that again this year (not that we can anyway, since I work until 11 PM).
I don't really have that much to say about last night's American Idol. Most of the performances were actually good, although I thought Matt and Camille were somewhat below par. I do think Leah looked better with curly hair (it made her more distinctive), but people are always trying out new looks throughout the show. This is Soul Week on the show. I wonder what other themes they'll have this season. I guess it doesn't matter that much, since no matter what the theme, most people find some way to sing ballads, and there's usually at least one Whitney Houston song. If I were in charge of choosing the themes, I'd probably do things like XTC Week and Scott McCaughey Week, and the contestants (and possibly even the judges) wouldn't know any of the songs.
It doesn't look like that much has been posted to the Nonestica list about The Magical Mimics in Oz, our Book of Current Focus. I'll probably have some things to say myself a little later today, though.
And, finally, I got this from Lawrence:
Go look at my interests and pick one (or more) that you don't understand at all or don't understand my being interested in it, and ask me about it.
There probably isn't anything there, but, in the unlikely event that there is, go ahead and ask.
