hey i know you

ok, so first of all i have to say that something very new yorkish happened to me this morning while i was getting ready. hilary and i always, always watch the today show. i don't care how lame it is, how many "surveys" they have about "what [straight, old, white] women really find attractive." we watch it. and, frankly, i think katie couric is funny in a really over-it, smiling-but-making-fun-of-you way, which i like. and i'll probably stop watching the show when meredith viera, that wretched woman from the view, second in heinousness only to that brown sack of flesh star jones (wow, did i just type that?), takes her place. i don't know what i'll watch since logo only plays reruns of xena: warrior princess at that hour, but it'll be something.

anyhoo, on to my new yorkish experience. i'm running around the apartment getting ready, and some stupid american idol piece comes on. now, i don't watch american idol; never have. but i glance at the television to see what the talking head's saying, and the talking head is none other than a friend of scott's, nicholas, a member of the cabinet from read your blog, shelby. he's saying something, very serious-like, about how all the winners from american idol are southerners and what that means and why we should care.

no, he's not curing aids, but he was on the today show. and i know him.
