American Idol; indeed all is alright with the world. The little Indian girl who had been mistakenly sorted into the boys section has finally exited. I have no doubt that some politically correct idiot will give him a contract to do whatever in show biz - a reason why I watch so little tv. But he's gone from Idol. It was a shock, though, to see both Blake and Lekisha in the bottom three. Americans, please, this is about an IDOL, NOT about how sympathetic you feel about losers!!!
And last but not least, our vacation, which wasn't all that vacational, is coming to an end. It's been a very refreshing week, with new impressions to digest, an appreciation for living in the middle of nowhere, with no traffic, and even though I'm gonna miss a barely two-miles-away-Starbucks, I'm having a Huehnchen mit denen zu rupfen, in any case, so I guess it's a good thing that the nearest one is 90 miles away. Besides, it gives me an excuse to drive once I'm back home. *nods* Driving 2400 miles in ten days evidently isn't enough. We did manage to get Shrimpcast out on time, which was my biggest stress, and what's even better, we were pretty relaxed about it. Yeah, I know you can tell - I didn't even edit all the "erm"s out *snerk*. But, you know, I was on holiday :-))
The weather has been spectacular. I think I've seen more rain in the last seven days than I did in the last seven months. *loves rain* Yes, it has stopped us from doing the cultural stuff, like visiting NYC for a day, courtesy of the nor'easter, or visiting some local caves; or even actually seeing the Blue Mountains through which we drove. The clouds were so low, it was incredible. But it was meant to be a 'getting away from it all' type holiday, and it has been that. We visited Borders a couple of times, buying new notebooks, books, consuming coffee and cheesecake and pretzels, and all's been fine. I feel considerably less edgy, I don't blow up at every occasion or non-occasion, and Little Man has progressed from reading Manga to reading Bionicle books without pictures. He's read five Manga books and two Bionicle books and played plenty of WoW, as has DD. I've been working on the new website and will post more about that project once I have all the links incorporated. Thank you f-list, for all the links you've provided! *loves you*
So, coming up here, we took the very shortest route, going through TN sideways, then up VA, then across the western corners of WV and MD. Which means we've added another two states to our list of "have beens". Going back, we shall take the OH KY route. It's a mere 17 miles longer, but there are more interstates, which will keep me more alert, and besides, we've only ever touched down in KY, so that's kind of a new state to add.
Shrimpcast will end, with the last episode airing after Phoenix Rising. Well, it will hibernate until it's time to resurrect it for the next con. :-) This latest episode is the first one that's actually generated some feedback, and I'm absolutely tickledpink shrimp-coloured. Talking of shrimp colour, we visited this outlet mall a couple of days ago, and I found a new hand-bag in shrimp colour! *squee*
But alas, podcasting can be somewhat addictive, so I will continue, with some friends who have become very dear to me, and I'm really looking forward to it.
