Uniformity

The whole idea of uniforms, well it never really bugged me a lot, not in the past and as i found out, not now.


We recently got our uniforms, to be worned everyday to college. Now the only part of that statement that actually bothered me was the ," im supposed to wash that pair of uniform EVERYDAY??" We only got a pair.

It was a tad bit UGLI but somehow the idea of uniformity seems okay to me. Its another day i dont have to think what to wear to college. Hate those mornings when you have to carefully calculate how long of a t-shirt you can wear that day cause there would be a practical class but then i'm meeting my friends in Mid Valley so THAT tee wont do, and this is too short and this doesnt have any sleeves!

But it has probably saved a lot of time when it came to presents! You could tell what looks fab on them and what made them go yuck!

Something very Marxism about uniformity that makes me like it. The illusion of equality. I do appreciate the freedom of expression and not going by the rules, but strangely when it comes down to uniforms, it doesn't make me want to hold up a picket sign screaming for it to stop!

Idol

Reality TV might be just about the most shallow thing aired, but i cant help it. However dumb they can be, i have to say I'm glued to the TV when they're on(as if I'm not USUALLY) , well some of course. (even with the back-handed comments from mua) and knowing well enough that singers like Ella Fitzgerald etc would have not won American Idol, Idol is one show that i have to admit that i do follow.


So American Idol is back, and the rockers are usually the ones that get my NOT ONLY-APPLICABLE-IN-THE-US vote! But this year.....ANOOP DOG!! Its amazingly rare to see an Indian on the show, well Sanjaya i think was the last i remember, and we all know what a travesty that was, uurgghh! But Anoop Desai might just be the one to turn that around!

This week however was bad for anoop! =C He's definitely not the BEST singer in the competition but he's pretty good. Very bad choice of song with Beat It though, oohhhh and others I'm routing for is that rocker-Broadway-musical-performer Adam Lambart, and Mary J. Blige almost Lil' Rounds(coolness of a name!) and the so sweet always-with-a-picture-of-his-wife Danny Gokey.

Jasmine (what is it with jasmineS and this competitions? Read : Jasmine with the flower in her hair) is probably not as good as most of the other contestants in the competition. And i don't really see that special SOLIDness the judges see in Matt, at least not this week.

But anyway, I'm pretty sure Anoop is not going to make it to the very last round or the few rounds before that, but i hope he stays in at least till i get bored of his whole quirky cool attitude!
