Disco is dead

It has been a long time since my last American Idol recap. Thankfully, in that time, we finally got rid of Sanjaya as well as some other less than stellar contestants. However, one thing that remains is the lame theme week. What makes the producers think that anyone wants to hear disco songs in 2007? The final four-Melinda, Blake, LaKisha, and Jordin-sang from the songbook of Barry Gibb this evening. Now while I must admit that I am a fan of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack as well as a few other selected Bee Gees tunes, tonight's song choices (and performances for the most part) were peculiar to say the least. I thought that Blake was horrible, and his once cool beatboxing has become annoying. My personal fave, LaKisha, was lambasted by the judges, even though I have to give her credit for at least singing a song we have all heard before ("Staying Alive"). Jordin did a great job on her first song, but I agree with Simon that her second performance was like something out of the Miss Teen U.S.A. pageant. Even Melinda was off her game tonight. What a disappointment. Hopefully next week will be better and LaKisha will somehow survive.

Call Me Irresponsible

That is not only what I have been lately regarding this blog, but also the title of Michael Buble's new album that came out this week (in the words of Emeril, run-don't walk-to the store to get yourself a few hundred copies). Anyway, I have so much to catch you up on. I have actually tried to log in a few times to update you on my la vida loca but was locked out of this account until today. Anyway, I was a traveling fool during the month of April. I was lucky enough to go with the U of M baseball team on TWO road trips (one to New Orleans and another to exotic Cape Girardeau, MO) in which my overall record is 4-1. It was a lot of fun and I actually did get to provide a little academic assistance to some of the guys.

This past weekend, I went to Savannah, GA for my cousin Chrissy's wedding. I had an absolute blast! Savannah is a beautiful city-if you have the means, I highly recommend visiting "the Lady of the South". It was great to hang out with my sister, her BFF, and the parentals. I also got to spend some quality time with my aunt, uncle, and even a little bit with the bride. Her wedding was awesome-great food, gorgeous scenery, and oh yeah, an open bar! I also got some quality flirting in with-you might want to sit down for this-a Cardinals fan. Yes, a good time was had by all. :)

This coming weekend is the Beale Street Music Fest, a 3-game baseball series vs. UCF, and graduation weekend all rolled into one. It could get crazy here in Memphis. Take care and have fun!
