That… Was… Awesome!
American Idol tonight (Seattle Day 2) was quite possibly the best episode of that show... ever.
The freak from Midvale, Utah and the thing called Red at the end were awesomely terrible. I laughed my butt off.
If you missed these two, I am sure they will end up on YouTube or Google video before long.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The following is the first paragraph from a very good article about this great man found on Time's website as part of their Time 100 series. Go read it. And thanks to Jen from Jen's Horde for finding this article.
It is a testament to the greatness of Martin Luther King Jr. that nearly every major city in the U.S. has a street or school named after him. It is a measure of how sorely his achievements are misunderstood that most of them are located in black neighborhoods.

"Zip it."
"What?"
"Zip it."
"What?"
"Stop talking."
"Dad, you're funny."
It’s Not a Girl
So, for those of you not paying attention, the Wife is pregnant. A few weeks ago we had an ultrasound and the doctor was pretty certain it was a girl. Long story short, we had to get another ultrasound today and lo and behold it's either, as the doctor put it, a boy or a girl with a penis.
We had been trying to think of a girl's name and had come up with some that we liked but nothing was feeling really good. Maybe this is why. After all, naming a boy Kaylee or Audrey probably wouldn't work.
On the other hand, we have had a boy name picked out the whole time. It's one that no one else but us really likes, but whatever.
So, hey, it's not a girl.
