Goodbye Girl

So Alexis got the boot last night. I thought that was a poor choice, as there are a couple of guys who're much weaker than the remaining girls. But I guess being a female on Idol this year sort of has to feel the same as if you were a new actor in 1967, getting your big first break on a hot, sci-fi TV series starring William Shatner. You're thrilled and think you're in for some steady paychecks and then they issue you a red shirt as your uniform.

I won't be around for several weeks to see how the Adam-Danny duel is developing onscreen, or to witness a potential sausage-party to shame even the Vegas March Madness crowds. But I'll be back in a month or so, and hopefully it'll all still be delightfully entertaining.
