Sanjaya Couldn't Win This One Either
While I feel horrible for the folks down at Tech, I had to pull myself away from the continuous coverage on TV the last two nights. The more I watch, the more depressed I get, and I don't handle depression well. So, Tuesday night it was the monthly girls' dinner. (Yeah, at our age we should call it the women's dinner, but we still feel like girls.) We decided to hit Baja Bean on 29 across from Walmart. (Lots of tex-mex for me this week.) I love the Baja on the corner, but this was my first time at the one on 29. While the menu is the same (you have to order the shredded chicken & cheese burrito-delish!), the atmosphere is quite different. The Baja on 29 is bright and cheery...perfect for families. Yes, I have been quite 'cheery' at the Baja on the corner, but I would definitely say it is more dimly lit and better for the college folks.
Then last night, I went to Club Rivals for...wait for it...karaoke! You know karaoke had to eventually turn up on this blog. Club Rivals is having a karaoke contest each Wednesday in April with cash prizes. I didn't enter the contest, but some really talented people did. (Tammy H. should've won!) Then there were the ones who shouldn't have had that extra beer before hitting the stage. One guy was so gone that he couldn't read the words on the screen, so he made up his own. Even so, he was still better than Sanjaya on American Idol. (Thank goodness he left the show last night. It was starting to not be so funny anymore. I felt sorry for the guy.) After the contest, I did get up and sing "I Will Survive." I could just hear Simon in my head after my performance saying "absolutely hideous." I'm glad there was no vote at Club Rivals, or I'd be with Sanjaya enjoying virgin pina coladas on a beach somewhere.
In case you haven't heard, tomorrow (Friday, 4/20/07) people are being encouraged to wear orange and maroon to show support for the families of the victims of the horrible shootings down at Va Tech. Also, at noon there will be a moment of silence. If you visit the Tech website, www.vt.edu, you will find info on these events and info on how you can show support in other ways. - A
