am i the only one who doesnt like american idol? i was thinking that last night while it was assaulting my ears. i even came up with a valid reason why i dont like it. its not just because of the amazing overload of reality tv shows, the silly predictability of simons cutting remarks, or even that stupid asshole ryan seacrest. its the music. i just dont like the kind of music that these "idols" seem to all specialize in. every song, and potential idol, has the same soulful, long winded melisma kind of sound to it, often packed with an obscene amount of vibrato (perhaps my biggest pet peeve). if these idiots (ruben, kelly, clay and the rest included) truly are american idols, then god help us all. especially me.
this morning started off great terribly, the second i got to work (15 minutes late) i had to go to a meeting. for the meeting, it was suggested that i go get donuts and coffee, jokingly at first, then much more forcefully. so i took my bosses car got donuts, coffee, and returned for the dreadful 3 hour meeting. happily, my 1:30 team meeting hasnt been cancelled either and i get to endure/fend off sleep for another 2 hour meeting this afternoon. i did get to check off 'get coffee and donuts for coworkers' from my To-Do on co-op list. earlier this year i took care of 'make 3 hours worth of photocopies'. still yet to complete are, 'have an interoffice romance that ends with someone losing their job', 'steal an item valued at over $500', and 'knowingly sabatoge a major project, presentation, or report'.
