Television
This season of American Idol sucked me in big time. Now that my “horse”, Jason Castro, is out, I’m not sure what to do (maybe get a life?).

I love The Soup – Joel Mchale’s the best.

Books (Readings)
I recently finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. It’s a good story that kept me interested. I really liked the ending. Also recently read Maeve Binchy’s Scarlet Feather. It reminded me of the movie, Love, Actually and that’s a good thing. I’m thinking about going to Borders today and picking up another one of her novels.

Music
I saw a trailer for Sex and the City which had in it India Arie’s cover of Heart of the Matter. This prompted me to make a playlist of covers for the ipod and I play it over and over. I hate the fucking Eagles.

Lately I’ve been listening to Jeff Buckley. I feel like I’m late to the party, plus, it was never a party I intended on attending. But I really love his ballady songs and this is another on the above mentioned playlist.

Movies
I rented Atonement last night and I freakin’ loved it. I knew I would because my new favorite director, Joe Wright, made the film. He makes beautiful movies. Just like his Pride and Prejudice, I’m sure I’ll watch Atonement over and over once it comes to HBO.

Dan in Real Life was a nice little film. I love Steve Carrell, even though he is a bit of a one-trick pony. I hate Dane Cook – he’s hard to watch – bad casting choice.

I read reviews of Margot at the Wedding and was a bit reluctant to rent it; however, I kept in mind what idiots people are and how much I like Noah Baumbach. It’s a great movie (better than Squid and the Whale which I loved) It’s ridiculous that Nicole Kidman didn’t receive an Oscar nomination for Margot.

You Tube and other Internets Wanderings
This is freakin’ hilarious – I love game show clips.
