Watched American Idol tonight, everyone was truly good tonight! Will be difficult to see anyone leaving tomorrow night. This week's theme was The Great American Songbook by Rod Stewart, and the contestants got to meet with and sing for Rod Stewart. He will be performing one of his songs tomorrow night. I think this is cool, because Kerry and I have two of his Songbook cd's, and we want the other two. She and I are starting to expand our music collections even further than before, branching out into more Jazz and old classics. I am enjoying this!

After that, I watched some strange British mystery I think, it takes place at some nursing school Very weird, but I had to keep watching, lmao. Then of course, I realized the Cubs game was on so started watching that. Then during a commercial, I changed to an Independant station that shows a lot of inspirational shows, like It's A Miracle. This episode had a story about a woman visiting Hong Kong and was in a motorcycle accident right before heading home to England. She appeared fine, but once on the plane started complaining about chest pain. Turns out she had a collapsed lung, and while ON THE PLANE, a doctor made a makeshift chest tube and INSERTED IT, actual surgery, so she could breathe until they landed at Heathrow! What an amazing story!

Once that story was complete, I continued on my channel surfing way, lo and behold, I came to USA channel and Nashville Star! I completely forgot it was on tonight! I saw the last performer, and who was voted off, that's the really important part, but I would like to see Chris Young's performance. So I'll check out usanetwork.com before going to bed, because the show will be re-aired about midnight or 1am. Never fear!

It will be just like last night, when I had to tape a re-airing of Days of our Lives. A former Governor of Illinois, George Ryan, was on trial for 22 separate counts, ranging from fraud, to racketeering, to who knows what else. Well, he was found guilty on all charges and faces up to 20 years in prison. The man is 70 years old. I can just picture him spending 20 years in jail, and coming out at 90, lmao. So anyway, all this came down, of course, right when Days would have been on yesterday afternoon. NBC was nice enough to re-air the broadcast of Days in the wee hours when nothing else is on, so viewers/fans could tape it and not miss that episode. NOT that anything exciting happened, lol. Nothing exciting EVER happens in Salem anymore!

Well, I think that's enough chatter, time to check the weather, check when NS will be re-aired, and head to bed.
