public speaking

i am ridiculously busy this week taking a class on public speaking for work. two words for you: no likey. tomorrow i get to give a 20 minute presentation in front of the class on a topic of my choice. i chose to speak about the group above . . . should be interesting . . .

america got it wrong

i want to keep this short, as we all know it was an upset last night on idol. but since i had a bit of insider knowledge this season, i've been asked a zillion times what i think. here's what i think.

this was a bad year for idol (which is ironic since adam lambert is the best contestant the show has ever had).

the production was bad. the new format was bad. the "save" card was bad. kara was bad - worse than bad - she was terrible with all of her "honeys" and "sweeties" and annoying condescension.

i can't help but think that as the show nears its tenth season, it is trying to self-sabotage. sure, it makes a lot of money, but all think all those involved in the idol world are sick and tired of idol. so am i. and so are a lot of people after last nights robbery.

AI on AI

i'm bummed she was eliminated last night. allison is incredibly talented. and she's super cool in person, too - more so than most of the idol contenders this year. i hope she gets signed quickly.
