American Idol gabbery...

[nia_starr]

I really can't help it--I am so addicted to reality music shows! Sigh, yet another year of American Idol under my belt. It was actually a pretty good year, and I was quite happy with the results finale last night. Yay for David Cook!! I was really not expecting him to win, there was just too much pimping of David Archuleta. Speaking of which,

Hey hey! Look who's popping in! Nice to see you on LJ, Crunky!

I'm going to take a "wait and see" approach to D.C. Yes he is hoping to have a lot of say as to what goes into his album, but you know how these idol things go--sometimes what you want and what you get are two radically different things. To be fair, however, I think he has a good shot at making it sound more like who he is as an artist because he's had experience at recording already with his old band.

Oh, and by the way, in case you haven't read back any of my previous posts, I am officially a Winnipegger no longer--the family and I moved to Edmonton at the end of April! It's been interesting, to say the least, and we're finally getting somewhat settled...

Yeah I've had this for awhile but I don't really journal over here (I liked GJ better, and then they've gone downhilland given up on their own site, so we relocated to DJ where our RPing journals are, lol), mostly I just use this one for posting and reading LJ friends and groups and whatnot.

Yeah... I'm not jumping on it until we hear past the Idol Winner song, but he's certainly got a head start for me than any of the other AIs! I do own Kelly's most recent one, but I think I've only listened that once so far... whoops.

I saw! Man big step for ya! Has it been working out okay so far?

It's been a huuuuuuuuge step for us. So far we seem to be adjusting fairly well. I'm starting to be able to get around the city without being totally dependant on my map, which is good! We were worried about putting the girls into a new school with only two months left in the school year, but so far it's working out

I just switched jobs... I hate the feeling of uncertainty that comes with starting over in that sense. Not knowing if you made the right decision until it's too late, etc. Though I guess yours is even worse considering you're "starting over" more than just your job!

They definitely seem to get more stuff out there musically... the only thing better in Alberta seems to be Calgary, based on the tour dates from people I've seen. I guess since it's closer to the border or what have you. I think Calgary gets Warped Tour this year again... I really want to go to the one in Saskatoon but I think I'll have to go alone if I do and that's kind of disappointing, so I don't know if I'll even bother.
