payne_n_diazHaving not really watched this season of American Idol I took on the stance that it is a farce in many respects. From what I saw of the contestants I felt like there really wasn't any one of them that I would enjoy buying a CD from. It struck me that this year, for some reason, they would have picked out the winner from the outset and that the results would be rigged. When it was down to about 6 left, I picked Carrie as the clear cut contender. My reasoning? She would appeal to young girls, males and she has crossover potential as someone who has country influences. Essentially, she would appeal to the our new national right leaning segment of the country. At least, that is what I said to myself, and even to a few co-workers who swore up and down that Bo would be the clear cut winner, followed by a lunch bet. Guess that means they owe me some lunch.

Finally saw Star Wars with Mindy last night. Very moving ending, the best light saber battle ever captured on (digital) film, and some disappointment. I was hoping we would catch a glimpse of a ghostly Qui-Gon. Ewan McGregor must have been channeling the spirit of Alec Guiness because I thought he was dead on in his reprised role of Obi-Wan. My only gripe - I felt like the acting, particularly the acting by our doomed Sith Apprentice, left a little to be desired. But at least the circle is now complete, and all there is left to do is wait for the DVD.

I didn't work overtime this week, but I think I am going to schedule some next week. I really can use the money. I want to pay off one of these cards before the end of the year.

The other day when I went and picked up Emily from school I took a detour through the drive-thru at Mrs. Winners chicken and picked up a couple biscuits. Now, before you think the wrong thing, I turned the truck around and we drove to a parking lot next to a Doctor's Office where the sat two families of Canadian Geese. Emily and I got out of the truck and took the biscuits and crumble them up and started throwing the crumbs to the geese. They each had a set of babies, one set of which was further developed than the others, but Emily was fascinated by them. She even tried to say 'geese' which sounded more like 'geesh', but at least she was picking up on what they were and repeated the word for Mindy later in the evening.

Date: 2005-05-27 07:16 pm (UTC)I'm probably gona see Star Wars next weekend.. I had planned to see it this weekend, but my neighbor, The Greek, caught me this morning and wanted to go see it next Friday... so that may happen.
It's fun to watch little kids... I babysat the Greek's kid for a couple hours last week... I think he'll be 2 in July... they are funny at that age... they make the craziest faces!
