This, That & Tuesday

Howdy people! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Here in the US of A, it was a holiday weekend for Memorial Day.

American Idol’s Finale

KISS and Queen in one night? Bestill my heart. I loved the American Idol finale last night. What was there not to love? (other than the outcome).

The aforementioned groups making guest appearances, Fergie and The Blackeyed Peas, Cyndi Lauper, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, David Cook–it’s like a free 2 hour concert. Loved it.
