If it’s true that Kris Allen is singing “Falling Slowly” on American Idol tonight, then he automatically gets all of my votes (if I could be bothered to vote) for actually picking something cool and current and not done to death on this show.  Bravo, Kris Allen!  You win my vote for being one of the only contestants this season who can pick songs that don’t suck and suit your voice, last week aside.

Now I’m going to try to go outside without getting blown over by the wind.  I was already attacked by falling eucalyptus bits this morning.  Taking an acorn to the head unexpectedly?  Doesn’t feel good.  Then again, taking an acorn to the head anytime?  Doesn’t feel good.
