Normally I only deign to flip through the Seattle Weekly when I’m bored or looking for upcoming shows. Today, I found this article which declares war on American Idol for allowing such non-talents as Clay Aiken to infest our culture. I believe the article is summed up well with the concluding sentence: “If anything, Simon Cowell isn’t enough of an a**hole.”

With that said, I’m going back out to make the most of this amazingly gorgeous Spring day here in Seattle.

I do feel sorry for my roommate who is sequestered in a air-conditioned, artificially-lit cubicle doing somebody else’s taxes. I’m not sure I could be paid enough to do something like that on a day like this.
