No snow yesterday as far as I know, but the weather was atrocious. And to think it would have been the first snow since '94! *laughing silently at North*

American Idol: Speaking of atrocious, American Idol was on with its second group of finalists and they were bad. Fortunately, only 2 will advance, although I'm pretty sure only two were on key. It should be a combination of Lisa, Marisa, and Matthew. Unfortunately, at least one of the finalists will probably turn out to be a truly weak singer and stick with us all for weeks to come, much like Corey, Julia, and Charles did last year.

Can I also ask, why is it that they're all singing songs written before they were born? Are you telling me that they've grown up listening to the E-Z listening channel? I don't even know half these songs, and I'm older than them. And, I thought they were supposed to become pop stars, "pop" being "popular." The last time those songs were popular was 1974. Think about it.

24: However, 24 was riveting as usual, especially since we are now rid of Nina. If he'd fallen for that "I have even MORE valuable information." line one more time, I think I would've started rooting for her instead of Kiefer. And we can't have that happening, now can we?
