I watched the last half of tonight's Miss America pageant. I saw the first two episodes of the reality show about it with Michael Urie from Ugly Betty about how they're revamping the whole thing. (So don't worry gabri, you weren't the only one drawn in.) The talent portion, while it has good intentions, was still stupid to me. Half the girls sang, and for some of them (my home state included) it felt like karaoke with not attractive dresses. The violinist was excellent and a couple of the dancers seemed okay (the jazz/ballet girl didn't do anything for me). I kind of wish baton girl hadn't gotten booted. Seeing her just made me think of Miss Congeniality.
But congrats to Miss Indiana for making runner up. Sorry she couldn't be the first girl from my state to win and that she had to stay in the "Always a Bridesmaid..." group. Even bigger bummer was that she lost to Michigan. Can you tell I graduated from Ohio State?
As for homework, I have to turn in my midterm project Monday morning while getting stuff ready for the next week. Ugh. Last weekend's three-day weekend totally spoiled me. But at least I have to get it done this weekend and not in the next few. I'm going to see Z a week from now, having a sleep over here the weekend after that while Dad is gone on his golf trip, and then possible back down to Z's at least for a day that following weekend to see Lola.
I really wanted to write for fun today and tomorrow. Instead I'm doing journal entries, critiques of myself (which are always so much fun), and writing a unit plan. Boo.
