American Idol: Nothing really stood out for me from Tuesday night other than it was kinda boring and that even those who were passed through were not all that great. Were they in Nashville? I can't even remember now! However, Wednesday night from Miami was *hot*! It seemed like they showed way more good singers... Continue Reading →
Wow
If he had not won me over last month, the speech that Barack Obama just gave in South Carolina would have done it. I had chills and tears and then cheers at the end saying "Yes We Can" with him. He has really got something going here and as we face the final State of... Continue Reading →
I have GOP debate commentary too!
Political Joke Break: Apparently Mike Huckabee made an analogy in the last GOP debate between the never found WMD's in Iraq and never found Easter eggs. To continue the analogy, if WMD's are like Easter eggs, then that means Saddam Hussein was like the Easter bunny, right? Therefore, George Bush killed the Easter Bunny! (hat... Continue Reading →
Debate smackdown and AI preview.
If anyone was listening last night, they would have though I was watching a football game, I swear. My reactions over the 2+ hour debate were things like "Ouch!" and "Smack!" and "Oooh, low blow, that's gotta sting!" with a lot of laugh out loud moments and cheer worthy moments. It was plenty 'O fun!... Continue Reading →
Democratic debate AND American Idol commentary
Yes, I was able to watch both. For once it pays to live on the left coast 🙂 The debate was 6-8pm and AI was 8-10pm. I did run the DVR for both in case I missed anything, but I was able to catch nearly everything live. Click below for more - my fingers are... Continue Reading →
Google stats + Politics or American Idol?
Given my blog title, I get a lot of Google hits on variations of Trees, Flowers or Birds. Or, birds in trees, or trees with flowers..you get the idea. Today there was a particularly funny one: 'Emotional pictures while cutting trees' - I guess some folks get a little sniffly when cutting down trees? Or... Continue Reading →
Post primary observations
I promise to get back to drivel and boring daily life updates tomorrow 🙂 Need to clear my mind of a few things from last night first. OK, here, a treat for everyone - sunset on Monday night after the storms - taken again with my blackberry from my car so it's not the best,... Continue Reading →
Primary Day #2
It's New Hampshire Day! As odd as I though the Iowas caucus was, I really *like* the NH primary process. I know there are those who want a true National Primary - which we are kind of getting on Feb 5 - but then I see how things work in NH and I think that... Continue Reading →
Still dry
Everywhere I look on the web once you get past the Iowa results, is some huge story about the storms hitting California. I know that the northern part has been getting hit since last night. The NU San Jose campus had to close today entirely due to the power outages caused by the wind. Meanwhile,... Continue Reading →
Results!
Huckabee for the GOP and Obama for the Dems. I 'sort of' predicted Huckabee as I could see his late surge. Obama though - I was not sure if he could hold the surge he clearly gained in early December - looks like he did. Of course, this means very little, but it does set... Continue Reading →
Trees & Flowers & Birds!
