Testing ME

My daughter has a science test tomorrow. She has the exact test in her hands (Class, the test will be the 14 questions on page 243. Fill in the blanks. ) Did she bring it to the place where we sat today for OH, TWO HOURS? (Haircuts, takes time to cover all the gray, ya know....)

No.

Did I explain to her that SHE needs to be responsible for studying for HER tests?
Hell yeah.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Do YOU know the difference between a compound machine and a complex one? I do, now. Why? Because I just studied science for an hour.

Thoughts on Idol episode 1:

*I* know "You Raise Me Up" ... ask me, I'll sing it for you.

Anwar Robinson (guy with dreads) was fantastic.

People should not sing so nasal that it hurts MY nose.

I would like to do that Weasel gag from the mcdonald's commercial to someone I work with, but he'd kill me.

Toni Braxton's cousin (yeah, right) sounds like Johnny Mathis, and I swear I wrote that down before they talked about him later.

Melissa with the pink hat... well, you know how I feel about pink hats.

The chick who sold her ring... I'm shaking my head. O-t-h-e-r o-p-t-i-o-n-s. Try a car wash. But see, with all those people there, did anyone give her the $200? Mark (hot) was "emotionaly involved" (gay, no longer hot) but did HE give her the money? Did he say Here's $5 if you promise to put it toward getting your ring back?? DID ANYONE? Oy, see that's what's wrong with me.

And no, it looks I'm never going back to my Golden Globes remarks. But I love that Terri Hatcher won!! (I was actually watching the show then.)

I only saw other shows commenting on the Idol show, and it seems like they just pick the absolute worse people in these rounds, because it makes for the best TV. You gotta wonder when people come out of the audition claiming that they had no idea how bad they were. Yeah, thanks Mom, Dad, for letting me make a giant fool of myself on TV because you think I sound great in the BATHROOM.
There's a show on E! called "Love is in the Heir", about a Princess from Iran who tries to make it as a country singer. She can't even perform in a nursing home without people walking out - and these are people who are desperate for any human contact. Then she's so shocked when she goes to Nashville and totally stinks up the stage.

Things will get better... right?

I distinctly remember a day in... maybe February?  I remember the moment, but not what day it was. I was sitting at work thinking about plan...
