…My wife and I recorded the Super Bowl last night. We did it specifically so we could watch the commercials (I really had no interest in the football game this year…!). I have to say that I was disappointed. There were some good ones, but nothing that really grabbed me this time. Kinda disappointing…
Oh well, there’s always next year.
So, I admit it. My wife and I have gotten hooked on “American Idol” this season.
I’ve never watched it before this year but for some reason, we started watching during the auditions. They were so entertaining, the good *and* the bad!, that we simply had to keep watching. In any case, we’re down to the final 4 and one is going home tonight. I really like Elliot and Taylor, but truth told, I think folks have pegged Chris as the winner. We’re holding our breath that our two guys hang in there tonight!
I will say that it stikes me that fairly early on, it appears as if the judges select one of the contestants as the winner. Since they don’t actually choose who wins, I’m not suggesting that there’s anything illegitimate happening that directly affects the outcome. What I am suggesting is that the comments that are made seem to me to be intended to “lead” the audience toward or away from particular candidates. Maybe I’m just paranoid, but that’s how it looks to me.
Anyhow, in 15 minutes the show will come on to tell us who gets the boot tonight. I’m a little nervous…

My friend Steve has started a blog. I’ve been bugging him to do it for months, so he has the basic site running on Blogger. No serious posts yet, as he’s recovering from a serious illness and surgery, so please stop by and encourage him to get well and get posting!! (in THAT order!)
