vovatI don't really have much to say on last week's American Idol. It wasn't really that much fun to watch. Gloria Estefan was a pretty lame guest. "I'm not going to judge! I'm just going to compliment!" Guess what, lady, you were signed on to be a guest JUDGE. I do have to wonder why Jasmine doesn't wear the flower in her hair anymore. Didn't she promise to do that every week?
More interesting to watch was the latest episode of Bullshit!, where Penn and Teller talked about recycling, and how, in many cases, it wastes more energy and resources than it saves. I'm not sure I agreed with the point they made about the jobs recycling created being crappy and unnecessary. I mean, they WERE crappy and unnecessary, but some people just can't get good and necessary jobs. A certain level of job creation is a good thing, I should say. They also mentioned that most paper comes from trees grown on farms, and while I find this to be believable, doesn't it take a long time for these farms to grow new trees? Overall, though, I thought the show made a lot of good points, as usual.
On Friday night, Beth made me watch Identity, which she had already seen. It wasn't a bad movie, but I think they tried to make a few too many twists, and one particular twist made me care less about the resolution. I'm also not sure the psychological background was particularly accurate. (I'm being intentionally vague here, in case someone reading this hasn't seen the movie and wants to.)
On Saturday, we went to the wedding of Beth's Uncle Bobby. It was pretty enjoyable, I thought. I don't really have anything specific to say about it, though.
