Month: April 2006

I’m not going to comment on the Mandisa thing, at least not the way everyone else is. I loved her singing. I thought she should have at least made the top 5. But even I wouldn’t have voted for her this week. That’s what it comes down to – were you better than everyone else?

What frightened me was that the bottom three this week were, with Chris, my favorite performers. I think Elliot has an amazing voice but he doesn’t have the “Idol” vibe. Chris is in a league of his own, talentwise. Paris is amazing too…I have her 2nd to Chris, I think. So imagine my shock when I saw the bottom three. Were these people even listening to Bucky sing? Seriously? And Taylor, love him as a person, but he stunk up the joint Tuesday. How the hell did he avoid the chopping block? Is America watching the same competition I am?

As I have previously reported, there are plans afoot to turn the space that is currently occupied by the Tri-Town drive-in into affordable housing. According to an article in yesterday’s Fitchburg Sentinel, it looks like the owner is leaning toward selling, mostly because of three tax increases on his property in the past year knocking out all profits from the 6 months he can run his business.

He hinted that he might open a new drive-in somewhere else, but having heard stuff like that before, I wouldn’t count on it. So kids, this summer is probably your last chance to go to a local drive-in. They opened for the season this past weekend.

Just as a heads-up, I’m not going to be awake when the clock strikes 01:02:03 on 04/05/06. I could, but I won’t. I don’t think the world is going to end, and while it’s kind of cool, it’s not worth me waking up in the middle of the night. Unless I have to pee and I’m already up.

If you do “experience” this as it happens, though, please feel free to drop me a note to let me know if you felt a disturbance in the Force.

I think I should start wearing disposable clothes. That way I’ll never have mountains of dirty laundry to look at ever again. I think that’s just best for everyone.

And it would also help keep me fashionable, because I would only wear new things. Something to keep in mind.

I’m not sure how to handle towels. Maybe invent a big blower thingy the removes the need for them?

What’s worse, thinking the Dump had ceased to be, or finding out that you in fact aren’t going to have a new source of Dump Truck supplies after all?
