The Great Taiwan Move has begun! I'm in Chicago with some ultra-heavy luggage, a hot girlfriend, a plane ticket for Thursday night, and a passing grade from the first two chapters of my Pemsleur learn Mandarin Chinese CDs!!! It's really not too bad once you figure out the whole intonation part of it. I practiced what I had learned with a peer who's from China and working in Rochester - he thought my pronunciation was very good! Eight more chapters to go! And no, this whole "moving to Taiwan" thing was not a huge April Fools joke:( It's April 2nd and still on my way.
American Idol - a quick analysis by Sarah and I from last night:
Safe this week:
David Cook - The only one who acts like he can actually win this thing
Michael Johns - Probably the only performance I liked. He's getting better every week (similar to Elliott Yamin a couple of years ago)
David Archeletta - Still obviously a fan favorite, sounded better last night
Gets a little fuzzy:
Brooke White - She's still doing fine, but that will only last a couple of more weeks at best
Syesha - I liked it, but she's been a bottom 3 person for a while now.... we'll see.
Jason Castro - Ho hum... this Dolly night isn't my favorite either...
Prepare to go home
Carly - Well, she's struggled in the past to get the crowd behind her after decent performances... don't be shocked if she's back in the bottom 3.
Ramiele - So she's the weakest performer left - at least get her in the bottom 3 this week!
Kristy Lee - Your luck is running out fast, thanks for playing.
So my final full day in the US - lots to read on my destination.....
Sorry for the "boring" and "missing" blogs lately.... that'll change very soon!
Have a great day!
