TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Wednesday, May 19, 2004
I have just invaded enemy territory (alias, the cornell blog) and am intimididated by the intellectual discussion and witty repertoire. it is ok, they are strange- we are cooler than them.

As to the american idol craze, the whole thing has gotten altogether out of control. At home, my dad loves it, and i'm an in-the-closet viewer-my mother and sister hate it. They might be the only ones in the state. The coordinator at my last relay for life meeting had to apologize for making all of us miss it. Restaurants are experiencing business lulls during showtimes. Somewhere on Oahu they have all night voting parties to keep Jasmine Triaz (sp?) on the show. HI has way too much island pride. :)
My sister says that the all-night voting parties are cheating. Dad gets defensive and says that people in any state, New York, for example, can do the same thing. Mom says people in New York have better things to do.
probably.
