Last night I was only able to give a third of my attention to watching American Idol. One third was spent packing for our trip, which was a very unorganized process because I lost the fancy Excel packing list I had created, and what’s the point of a fancy Excel packing list to aid you in not forgetting anything when you can’t even keep track of the fancy fucking Excel packing list itself? The other third was given to my sister and later my mom when each of them called. Packing, talking on the phone, and watching American Idol at the same time does not make me a very good critic to be weighing in here. I’m doing it anyway.

This is what I thought (again the (b)s are Brad’s favorites):

Gina - pretty good (only caught a couple seconds)
Alaina - tv muted
Lakisha - good (at least the part I heard)
Melinda - yeah girl (b)
Antonella - nice try
Jordin - don’t know, on phone (b)
Stephanie - good (still on phone)
Leslie - didn’t like it
Haley - uh uh
Sabrina - good (b)

My favorites are still Lakisha and Melinda, Antonella is still horrible, and I still can’t tell the difference between three of the other girls. Brad’s only pick consistent with last week was Sabrina, about whom he so boldly stated, “She’s gonna win.” We’ll see baby.

I’ll be on the road tomorrow night during the results show, but I’ve got my friend Robin all lined up to call me with results. Hope it’s good news.
