I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue

cyranoI have the best housemate in the world. She made me yummy chicken and broccoli for my going away.
Which involves leaving for Seattle, and spending my vast copious weekend there, and coming home with just enough time to do laundry before I have to return to work.
I finished American Gods, which started out feeling a lot like reading Good Omens without the zany wacky Douglas Adamsesq absurdist humor, but got different. I squeaked in surprise more than once.
This was a big week for pop music.
I heard Dido's new single and really dig it. (Big shock there.)
I found out that Kelly Clarkson, who has a single I like, was on American Idol. Who'd have thought *that* show would produce anything useful?
Found out that Unka Cracka is responsible for the remake of 'Drift Away' I've been hearing the past few months.
Discovered that there's a Jewel song I actually like. Again, who'da thunk?
Movies with high hottie content. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom (who is finally not blonde again yay), Stuart Townsend (who I must have seen in something before), and Keira Knightly (who was still blonde in the movie but looks so much better with darker hair, thank you Ebonlock).
I'm wearing eyeliner to my next pirate role playing game.

That's about it.

The people you describe having heard were part of "American Idol" season 2. Kelly Clarkson was the winner of the first season. And the movie "From Justin to Kelly" starred the aforementioned Kelly Clarkson and her runner-up, Justin, who are apparently, at the very least, very close friends since their shared experience competing against one another.
And now I have to go wash my brain out with lye soap, for knowing all this.
(Down with reality TV!)
