I Am Old?

I've been overly tired this week...I think I'm fighting something off.  So, not a lot happening...unless you count falling asleep at 5:30 pm as "a happening"! 

However, I cannot let today pass without talking about the reasons why I feel old when I watch American Idol.  The reasons are as follows:

1.  When the judges talk about a performance being "too close to the original, it was just a karaoke version", I have to admit that at least 40% of the time....I have no idea what the original sounds like.  "Fixing a Hole" by the Beatles?  I'm with you.  Anything by Fallout Boy?  I'll just have to trust you on that one.

2.  Whenever Andrew Garcia is shown (singing, talking, or just hanging out) I always turn to Erik and say, "Oh, I hope he wins!  He seems like such a nice young man."

And there you have it.  I am falling asleep during the Early Bird Dinner Hour and calling a twenty-four year old with a tattoo on his neck "a nice young man".  I honestly wish I had more to report.

  2. From the other side of the pond... I too hope Andrew Garcia goes really far! I loved his Straight up rendition and... I love his voice. I think I am old too.

  3. Hi Mia, you and me both. The falling asleep part I mean not that you are old. Have had a touch of the old jet-lag, Pampa is fed up with me wondering around the house at 3am and asleep in the chair when he comes home from work. Hope you are feeling better soon.
