Thursday, May 25, 2006 Sing me, something brave from your mouth....What the hell was the crapfest that was American Idol last night?? Maybe I'm just impatient and don't like the thought of my brain melting away watching a less-than-bright gal freaking out over a lobster or watching Meatloaf sweating before he even starts singing. Shoot, I would have even clicked over to Lost if I had even a remotely vague clue about WTF was going on on that show other than they're on an island with a polar bear and a hatch. As it was, I probably ended up watching more episodes of Top Chef that I've already seen than than of the actual American Idol show. Am I happy with the winner? Honestly, I could care less. I'm happy with my Kelly Clarkson, and that's all good for me.
Well, I start doing my internship thing today (which is the last requirement for my degree program), so I have a whole new job to attack. And all new people to get to know, all new tasks to learn how to do, and a whole new schedule of hours to work into my currently already crazy schedule. The best part though? I've already talked to my boss and I'm only slated to be in the lab 2.5 days/week. I acknowledge that it sucks that I have to take my vacation time to do this, but I'm ok with taking time off to not be in the lab. That makes my mind happy.
On that note, it's back to work for me.
Goooo Pistons! (note: I love the fact that they're playing Miami, just to hear the commentators' shock whenever Shaq makes a free throw. Genuine surprise comin' out of their mouths).
