American Idol Season 8 halftime thoughts
Apr 13th
Hey, you can catch my (semi) weekly thoughts on American Idol right here:

So, we’re just about half way through this Top 13. What do you think so far? Personally, I think Adam Lambert is, by far, the most talented of the group. But, I’ll say this: It’s not over ’til it’s over. I think Danny Gokey absolutely has a chance of winning this thing too. If I were to rank the Top 7, overall, at this point in the competition, I would do so like this:
Adam
Danny
Allison
Matt
Kris
Anoop
Lil
I’ve really enjoyed this season so far. I think this is one of the most talented groups they’ve had since the beginning of the show, rivaling that of season two.
Who will win? We’ll just have to keep watching…
Take a break… with Monsters vs. Aliens
Apr 4th
Wow! Things have certainly been busy around here… I haven’t posted in forever. There’s just been too much life lately. Dance, baseball, work, school, etc. Too nuts.
Today, Richie and Tedy began replacing our roof after February’s nasty storm. I appreciate the help they’ve provided, and I hope they get things wrapped up tomorrow. I’ve been relegated to clean-up duty and gopher during this project. I’m not exactly a handyman.
So anyway, I definitely wanted to mention “Monsters vs. Aliens” that we went to see last weekend. It was a pretty good movie. I’ve always liked animated movies, and this one’s good. Not great, but good. The kids were entertained, and that’s the main thing.
To me, the one thing the movie lacked is “Aliens” — there was one alien, who cloned himself multiple times, thus creating “aliens.” I would have liked five different aliens, one that could have been beaten by some special ability of each monster. Like Susan could have fought some big alien, and B.O.B. could have fought some Jell-O-type alien, etc. But I guess that would have taken away from the story a little bit. But still when I hear “Monsters vs. Aliens” I picture an all-out battle for suprremecy. But that’s just me.
The kids loved it, and the animation is amazing. I didn’t get to see it in 3D because my local theater doesn’t support it, but the one in Morgantown does. It may just be worth the repeat trip to see it in 3D.
