American Idol mess

Well American Idol has returned to the airwaves with two monster long two hour shows, a bit too much Idol for me.  The shows were more depressing than entertaining.  They were filled with broken dreams and tears as the news was given to the contestants that they weren’t good enough in various cruel ways.  A lot of these people were just brutally bad. So bad that I would cover my own eyes in embarrassment for them.  Throughout the 4 hours of shows there were a very small percentage of people that were any good. 

Another thing that was very disturbing was Paula Abdul.  She was obviously chemically altered for the majority of the auditions.  How in the world she is allowed to be on the show in that state is beyond me.  It’s embarrassing for the show.  All you had to do was look at her face and you could tell she was wasted.  It’s a shame.

Our christmas tree is still hanging on although you can tell it is starting to slide downhill.  Some brown is visible and when I water it each night it drops considerable needles from the intrusion of my arm. It still is taking water though and still smells good.  I am hoping it makes it another couple weekends yet, we’ll see.  The cats still spend most of their time hanging under it.
