American Idol Prediction

Well, not to brag but I called Fantasia winning American Idol the first time I saw her audition during the first couple weeks of the show during that season.

I just watched the end of Hollywood week and I was extremely unimpressed, overall. I don't think anyone really stuck out, or really had any kind of soul in their voice.

That is except for Laquisha Jones. Her voice is one of the few voices that really stuck out to me, just like Fantasia's did that season. Her voice is very smooth, and comforting. She has one of those voices that I can rely on. What I mean is, even at her worst, she is still a soulful, power house singer. You don't have to worry about her cracking or singing something badly.

The only guy that really stuck out to me was Phil Sly. I think that was his name. He was a pretty good singer...but I don't see a guy winning this competition. They were all pretty boring. Not to mention they weren't really that attractive overall either.

Laquisha Jones is my early pick to win this competition. So, when she does, look back at this post and be like "Wow he's 2 for 2!"

Screaming for Summer

Really, there is no reason that it has to be so cold. I want the summer to be here so badly. This summer is going to be so exciting!

Although, nothing will be that exciting about it until June. It looks like I'm going back to Milan to teach again! This is very exciting for me, because Rachel seems to be just as excited. However, it's been very difficult to get ahold of the administrators over there to let them know we're accepting the job again. Maybe it's an Italian thing.

Once I get back from Italy at the beginning of July, my attention will be focussed 100% on Harry Potter. The fifth movie Order of the Phoenix comes out on the 15th and then the FINAL book Deathly Hallows comes out one week after that, on the 21st. I am so excited but at the same time so sad. All of the Harry Potter adventures will be coming to an end by the end of this summer. I for one know that I will not be able to put the book down. It kind of sucks for me because I haven't been able to be so excited for each of the book releases, because I wasn't a Harry Potter fan until RIGHT after Half-Blood Prince came out in 2005.

But anyway there's a lot to be excited about this summer for me. On top of Italy, and Harry Potter...lots of fun times with friends, and LOTS of tennis! I want it to be summer every day.

How about the picture of Harry Potter!? This is a picture of Dan Radcliffe in a play that he's in called Equus. Pretty intense huh? This is one of the more censored pictures too!
