Showtunes? No-tunes!

* Good grief! Did you have a difficult time watching that American Idol last night? That had to be the worst Idol ever. Showtunes? To quote David Spade, "No-tunes!"

* Stock market drifts up, while everyone is talking about high oil prices. Cool.

* Daylight savings time = afterwork bike rides. Cool.

* I read a book, and kept the volume on low last night. That was just torture. I just waited for the reviews. As usual, Paula loves everyone, so I'm thinking there must be a 2-drink minimum in the American Idol theater.

* Did you hear that Peter Jennings has lung cancer? He smoked until 20 years ago, quit, and then picked up the habit again after 9/11. He starts chemo soon. Say a prayer for Peter.

* I was reading in the news that Japan was planning on a moon base. I couldn't help but think of that cheesey monster movie where Godzilla and all the "good" monsters are brought to the moon (or somewhere) to fight that evil three-headed monster (Gidira?) that the aliens were using to take over the world. Something like that. I was young at the time, and can't recall the actual plot.

* At some point, Anthony and Scott are goners. They need to go soon. Nikko is probably next after that. Constantine is getting creepy. Nadia won't go the distance. Anwar did better. Bo hurried through it, but sounded good. Carrie did fine.

* I watched Mr. 3000 over the weekend, with Bernie Mac. It was just okay. For some reason, his comedy style hasn't transitioned well to the big screen.
