I’ve decided that I’m not going to play in the hockey game on Thursday night. I’m feeling better but I’m still weak and I think I’ll be helping the team more by not playing. I’m a little bummed because I really want to play..I just don’t think it’s smart for me to go out there on the ice.

Last night’s American Idol was filled with pitchy performances but it got better near the end of the show. If I had to pick a winner just based on last night’s show I’d say that Taylor would be taking home the prize. He totally rocked "Living for the City" so much so that I actually hit rewind on the DVR and watched his performance again. Chris was pretty good too but Taylor was better. Also based on just last night’s show, I’m guessing Melissa and Kevin are "goners".

On a 2 hour show like that, it pays to be in the last 4 so people have them fresh on the brain when it comes to actually phoning in votes. Some of the singers near the start of the show, I can hardly remember.

Not much else on the brain today…
