I was a bit disappointed that the show last night had the singers doing songs they did previously.  The 3rd song for each was an original song that is going to be their first single.  Katherine sounded like shit on that 3rd song and didn’t seem like her heart was into it.  Taylor conversely did a good job on his final song.  Even though I am sick of hearing “Soul Patrol!” I would much prefer to have Taylor win out of the two that are left.  Chris is the one who deserves to win.  I thought it was an odd moment in the beginning of the show when Ryan had Chris stand up for a second only to tell him to sit back down.  You could tell Chris was thinking they were going to exchange a few words but Ryan shoo’d him away.  It was strange.  Why is it that each year during the finale they pull out the choir to assist the singers?  Enough of that already, it isn’t church, it’s a pop singing show.

After work last night I used my roller blades while Ali ran.  She did a long 5 mile run.  It was the first time she did 5 miles in quite some time.  I thought roller blading would be a painless way to accompany her but the wheels rolling over uneven sidewalk, rough road and other bumpy objects left me this morning with more deep aches in that wonderful joint of mine.  I am playing volleyball this Saturday regardless of how my knee feels.
