American Idiots, links galore
I don’t know if I am just tiring of the show or because it is a full moon, but sitting through 2 freaking hours of American Idol last night was borderline torture for me. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. At least half the male contestants I could care less about. I was just bored. Paula looked and sounded like hell as usual and Simon made fun of her as usual. It’s just the same old crap. I think I am going to push to skip the shows until they at least get to top 12. I think Ali will go along with me, she isn’t all that into it either.
I was looking through a PC Magazine recently. They had a section about the best of FREE stuff. There was a TON of great sites there. Here are a few that caught my attention the most. I checked all of these out personally. All free, all good!
