Ice, Idols, and, well, Poetry, of course

Here I sit at our kitchen table, the North Carolina sun lighting up the room, and my Clay Aiken CD playing triumphantly throughout the house. Yes, Clay Aiken.

I can't believe it's supposed to rain and "icy rain" tomorrow. It's beautiful outside. It feels like it's about 68, the skies are blue and clear. I'm supposed to take the bunnies to the vet tomorrow.

Today, however, I'm going out to Borders to get some serious writing done. I'm writing a review that I want to finish ASAP and try getting published. I also have kept from doing my own writing, since last week I was so consumed with the Chax website, which is look really good now. But before I go...

My American Idol picks:
Janay Castine because she's just so adorable. She was so nervous last night, but she was still good.
Vonzell Solomon: She has a wonderful voice and she was a great performer last night.
Jessica Sierra: She has an awesome voice, and I also just loved the song she sang. I'm not sure how swayed I was simply from the song choice, but I still think she was just really great.
Honorable Mention goes to Melinda Lira, who wasn't great, but I hate what Simon said to her.

I must say that it was more difficult to watch the women perform. I worry a lot about their feelings of self-worth.
