Leslie Gray Streeter shares a question/answer session with some of our favorites…at least, some of my favorites, from American Idol. YEAH! Just what we need, right? 
Plus, a little snippet on Kara DioGuardi. And yes, that’s again. She sure is generating a lot of buzz.

So, a fourth judge is to join our infamous trio on American Idol next spring? Well, I think it’s about time. Hopefully, she’ll add a breathe of fresh air to our current judges critiques.
I confess I didn’t know much about her, except that she had indeed worked with Celine Dion (arguably THE most talented female recording artist to date), Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, and Kelly Clarkson, and new favorites, the Jonas Brothers; among others.
A few little facts about Kara that I dug up, if you’re interested.
Kara co-owns Arthouse Entertainment, a “resource business for record companies and other music entities seeking compositions, productions, artists, and related music services”.
She works with Phoenix House, a non-profit substance abuse service organization.
Kara has had over 264 songs released on major labels worldwide, quite a feat, if you ask me. Her songs have been featured on several major motion pictures, film soundtracks, and television shows, to name a few.
She has worked with the following American Idol contestants: Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson (as already mentioned), Bo Bice, Carrie Underwood (already mentioned), Katherine McPhee, Taylor Hicks; and she is also working currently with both David Archuleta and David Cook.
Are you excited? Personally, I’m looking forward extremely to next years A-I; Kara will prove an irreplaceable asset, I’m sure of it.

I’ve been staring at this screen for an indefinite amount of time, thinking that if I stare long and hard enough, whatever I want on here will write itself. Hasn’t happened so far; maybe it’s time I took some action.
You know that thing about simplicity? Nah, I don’t need it. I love having my life swirl around as if in a hurricane! And remember that other thing about only 9 hours of school? Who wants 9 when you can have 12?! I’m insane.
I feel the need for a little Jane Austen, just to keep things in perspective. 
“As I do not choose to have generosity dictated to me, I shall not resolve on giving my cabinet to Anna till the first thought of it has been my own.” Jane Austen, in a letter to her sister, Cassandra.

Well, my apologies for the lack of entries lately…I have been completely busy trying to figure out my fall schedule.
So now, I am registered for 12 credit hours of classes this fall-will probably drop it down to 9; just so I will actually have time to do the millions of other things that have to be on my schedule. I’m so relieved in some ways…in others, well, the pressure’s not off yet.
I’m wishing for simplicity. You know, that good o’le thing that makes life so sweet. And also seems so unattainable.
When I get in one of these ’simplistic’ moods, I absolutely love checking out whatever Annie’s been writing on the subject; it’s usually just the thing! It also gives you something to look at on days like today, as you come expecting something good and end up with a little entry like this!
