Everyone Knows It's Windy
Uh oh, what happened? Things were going so well. Now here I am up in the middle of the night again. Sheesh. Oh well. What better to do than write, right?
It's been a windy night. Its actually quite eery hearing all the ice get blown off the roof of our apartment building. Have you seen those cartoons where big icicles fall off some cliff and become almost like a little jail around the creature standing at the bottom? We used to have big ones that my dad would have to cut off our eaves at home growing up, so they wouldn't fall off and give someone a concussion or impale them or something. There must have been a lot of ice on the roof here tonight, though, because it was really loud. Almost like a freight train coming off the edge of the roof past the windows. A couple of times I looked out to make sure it wasn't smashing through car windshields.
I watched American Idol tonight. The one girl sang "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding. Love that song. She did a great rendition....I voted for her...#5. I don't know her name yet, though...which means she hasn't become my favorite yet. So far, I am rooting for the rocker guy Bo Bice, I think is his name. It's bizarre to me to have a "rocker" (don't ya love the labeling) , let alone two on this show, but I guess I give the guy props for daring to do it. I'm sure he's getting called a sell out, but that makes him more brave, perhaps? I wonder if it was a planned scheme to try to broaden their viewership? I'm sure. Personally, it wouldn't be my cup of tea to be sucked into all the contractual stuff they must be involved with...but I don't know the details, really. I do know what it's like to want to share your talents with the world and I guess some see this show as their big shot. You know what "they say" "...you only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo, you better lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go....blah blah blah"
