My bathtub faucet is fixed! I don't know when the guys got here, but they were still here when I got home at two and for about twenty minutes after that. I guess they found some other things to fix. I know I should feel lucky to have overzealous maintenance guys, since it's better than the ones who never do anything . . . but also, I'd just as soon they just fix what I asked and leave.

On to a completely different topic . . .

I love that I can carry on an academic conversation about math and then smoothly transition to chatting about American Idol. I feel like so many people (especially in settings like college) think you need to pick one or the other. Interested in studying or pop culture. And both sides look at the other with disdain. But I like living in both worlds. Anyone with me?

Is it just me or are a lot of the American Idol contestants doing worse than they did in auditions/Hollywood Week? Specifically, I'm thinking of Kady, who had one of my favorite auditions, and has been terrible, but Carly and Michael also haven't been as good as I expected them to be. At this point, it really does seem David Archuleta's competition to lose.

And he's still my favorite, but he strikes me as being so far of everyone else right now that it's not going to be a very interesting season. I want to be impressed by other people, too!
