What a Day for a Daydream

So far, I'm pretty underwhelmed by this season of AI. In fact, I was so nostalgic for last season, I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday on YouTube watching the magic of Blake Lewis. He was so darned musical, talented and easy on the eyes, and no one else seems to have that combination this year. I like the musicality of Jason Castro, but I don't see myself becoming a fanatic. And David Archuleta is definitely a great vocalist, and he seems genuinely nice and humble, but he doesn't make me feel like a crazed fan. Michael Johns is definitely pretty, but he lacks Blake's musical talent. David Hernandez is kinda cute--in that gay stripper sort of way. I don't have a strong opinion about any of the girls, except that Carly needs to fix her teeth. I also think she's overrated, and the fact that her husband (he of the scary tattooed face) hasn't been shown on the show recently is clear evidence of the AI powers-that-be trying to make her palatable to Middle America. I still like Brooke, but there's no "wow" factor there, either.

I'm just back from a girls' weekend skiing in Keystone. It was 40 and sunny the whole time, and I've got the reverse-raccoon look going on now. One of the girls brought Red Vines--so much better than Twizzlers. They're like the red laces of my youth....
