So, Aaron had work to do out in the garage during my sacred Tuesday night AI time.  And it was bath night.  Stink.  That means for at least half the show I was standing in the doorway where I could hear and kind of see the show and keep my eye on Micah "swimming" in the tub.  There were lots of dinosaurs in the tub last night to swim with...  I caught most of the show, but not every moment and I wasn't able to concentrate too much.  Here's my impression, though. 

I think David A. thinks he can change the world through song.  I remember that tune from 80s as one of those "let's all hold hands and sing together about _________" songs.  This one was violence or gun control (or something), but it could have been homelessness, or world hunger, or saving the planet.  This is at least the 3rd song he's done like that.  He's killing himself.  Just 'cause the song is about something "noble" doesn't mean it's a good song.  I still love his voice, but it's just a blah performance when he sings a dumb song.  So disappointed...again.

I don't know if Kristy is safe or not (so many pitch problems), but all the older watchers (and veterans) will be voting for her just 'cause she sang that song.  Kind of a tricky ploy she did.  That song is sung way too much.

Chickezie- The bits I saw were cheesy (I heard cheesy linked to Chickezie way before Simon said it.  I think he copied the internet).  It just sounded old to me. 

Brooke, Carly, David Cook (sooo awesome last night), John, Syesha, Jason - I think they are all safe - Hopefully Carly fans picked it up on the voting this week.  She so very very much deserve to make it to the top 3.

Ramiele - Maybe it's because I'm 10 years older than her, but I just cannot connect with her.  They were comparing current idols to past idols on the internet the other day and Ramiele was compared to Katherine McPhee.  Huh??  Not even close.  They said it was because their personalities were both  second rate to their voices, but Ramiele is no Katherine.  I kind of still hope she'll be the one going home tonight.

Kristy deserves to go home (but probably won't), Chickezie might go home by being a little old fashioned, but I hope Ramiele does as she just doesn't do much for me (why did she sing a song that Carly had already sung... bad choice).

Kind of boring performances mostly all around last night.  I'm not going to say too much except I knew they shouldn't have done a repeat of Beatles night.  Last week was so good that they shouldn't have tried to duplicate it.  I'm just going to predict that Ramiele will be be going home although Kristy's not safe either.  I liked Carly's and David Cook's performances the best.  David A's was good as he sang a sensitive ballad.  It's what he does best.

It's raining in Alabama today, yet the birds are singing.  Strange birds.  The project for this week is taxes.  But that means I have to wait for nap time before going to the outside garage and digging out papers. 

Micah still chitter chatters all day long.  He's confused on the word "out" as in the morning he always says "light out" meaning he wants to turn the lights on.  When he wants picked up, he says "Mommy, out.".  The funniest thing is also in the morning when I get him up from his crib he say "poops out."  I don't know what that means other than I sometimes call him "little poop" and he must have picked up on that and is saying he wants out.  But that would mean he's using the word correctly in that instance.  We've also been having fruit snacks in the house and he loves them.  Right now they are dinosaur shaped and he asks for them by saying "want some dinosaur snackies" and then roars.  When he asks for things he can't have, to stop the wining I've been telling him "I'm sorry, Micah, we can't have those (or do that) right now."  He's picked up on that and says "Sorry" ALL the time.  I guess we'll be ready when it's time to teach him to apologize! 

My friend Ashley got a SUPER nice new digital camera and took this picture yesterday.  A good camera really makes a HUGE difference!
