I’ve been keeping up with American Idol. The Finale is coming up. I think Adam is going to win. He’s good, but he shows off a little too much. Yes, you’ve got some pipes, but we don’t need to hear them in every song. However, my favorite singer never got picked for the show. It was Danny Gokey’s friend, Jamar. He went through audition week, but didn’t make the top 32 cut. I was heart broken. Man, …am I really gossiping about American Idol…?

I guess all my favorite shows are wrapping up. I still have seasons of “The Wire” to watch, and I’ve been watching “Shaun the Sheep“. It’s from the Wallace and Gromit crew. They’re short and sweet.

I finished my Korean History book. I gave up on Crime and Punishment. I got a 1/3 way through it and put it down. It climaxed in the beginning and, now, it’s doing nothing for me. I’m now reading … “My name Lon, You like Me“. It’s about the sex slavery and prostitution in Tailand.

On my recent paycheck, the school billed me for my lunch and dinners at the school. I thought it was a free ‘perk’, but oh well. It’s not that expensive, and what else am I going to eat. It’s buffet style, and I get my fill. I’m, also, not shy about getting seconds.

Today, is teachers day. We have a half day at the school. Students are in and out of the teachers office giving carnations and presents. I haven’t had anything personally handed to me yet. Though, I got snacks galore and an umbrella(?) yesterday.
UPDATE: I got carnations!

Last weekend, I watched an indie Korean movie called The Story of Mr Sorry. This guy started a career of ear cleaning, because he enjoyed having his ears cleaned when he was a child. He gets shrunk to pea size, but continues to clean ears. He climbs into peoples ears and removes the build up. Through curiosity, he learns that he can see into minds of the people he cleans. He learns their darkest secrets.

Some futures plans are bouncing around my head, but I’m not going to talk about them until plans are more definite.

I’ve been listing to more Omar Rodriguez Lopez. I found a nice BBC recording from him, too. An acquaintance, also, encouraged me to listen to the entire Sgt Pepper album from the Beatles. I was told it’s the most celebrated album without any #1 hits.
