I mean, we can if we want, but as she said, "you guys all have As right now and you worked really hard on your projects." And it's TRUE, everybody's presentation was really well-done and interesting. Och, I am happy about this -- now all I have to worry about next week is one measely little geology exam, and then I'm FREE. It's the boost I needed to finish my sem paper this weekend.
To match my mood, I give you one of the weirdest and most delightful things I have ever seen: the celebrity pimpmercial from last night's Idol Gives Back. Random celebrities lip-synching to "Stayin' Alive" and dancing like fools. And I mean random -- Lisa Kudrow, Eric McCormack, Hugh Laurie, Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, Fergie (the duchess one), Emily Blunt, Teri Hatcher, Goldie Hawn, Gwyneth Paltrow, Helen Bonham Carter, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shaq, Marc Anthony, Ryan Seacrest, the Madden twins, Dr. Phil, Kevin Bacon...and I'm sure a couple more I missed. It's like a horrible trainwreck. Made of awesome, that I can't stop watching. (Keira looks very pretty and not as thin as she's been lately, but that might just be because she's not scowling at paparazzi.)
Miss Piggy! How could I forget Miss Piggy?

The show itself was kind of an extension of the weird, with a couple of great causes, but I still felt kind of queasy at the footage, I think because I'm just so accustomed to associating the AI people with crass consumerism and exploitation. But they did raise $60 million, which is incredible. The performances ranged from the truly bizarre -- Celine Dion dueting with poor dead Elvis -- to very good, namely Kelly Clarkson singing a Patty Griffin song with Jeff Beck. I was really only paying half attention because I was writing a paper, but a lot happened that made me look up.
