He’s still my choice for Idol. Here is David Archuleta’s most recent performance. He forgot his lyrics last week, which was awkward, but he pulled it all back together again for this one. His version of Imagine from a few weeks ago is still my favorite.
I’m not really a huge American Idol fan but a few of the auditions this year moved me. Good voice, good song and good looks… that’s my criteria 
Here are my picks so far:
This is David who auditioned in San Diego.
Josiah Leming didn’t make the final 24 cut but I liked this audition of a song by Mika.
Corteo in Italian is a joyous procession, a festive parade… in this case imagined by a clown. Tonight me and my roommate Dylan went to see the new Cirque Du Soleil show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. It was opening night. Dylan got 2 free tickets from a promoter who is coming into Rich’s, the nightclub Dylan manages, on Saturday night to promote the new show. If was a great show, as always. If you haven’t been to a Cirque show yet, I highly recommend it. They have certainly redefined the definition of a circus. The acrobats and stunts they do just defy gravity. It’s amazing… not to mention the dancers are quite sexy 
I figured out that I *think* this is the 5th Cirque show I’ve seen. One at Disney World in FL, two in Vegas (one of them twice), one in Seattle and now this one.
The show runs through February 10 and tickets are available online at the Cirque Du Soleil website, so there’s still time!
I’m back in good Ol’San Diego now! Playa del Carman was beautiful and Mexico City was awesome. I’ll post some pictures and video as soon as I get them organized. The only down side is that I managed to pick up a bit of a cold… Probably from the altitude and smog (Mexico City is at roughly 7000 ft. up)… Of course it could also be the clubs and drinking ha!
I’m off to Cancun in the morning for about 4 days then over to Mexico City for another 4 or 5 days. Margaritas, quesadillas, sand and surf! I can’t wait to relax for a bit. I’ll take some pics and video and post them here when I get a chance.
Adiós for now!
Just a quick post to say that I’m not in the path of any fires or in any danger of being affected. A few friends and family had trouble getting through on the phone so I figured I’d just make a quick note here. I live in the North Park area of San Diego, which is very close to downtown and is just about in the center of both the fires in the north and those in the south - about 20 minutes from each. There isn’t any threat of any fires getting near here and the evacuation center at Qualcom stadium is just down the road from me. The air is full of smoke and the sky is dark orange and it’s very creepy. We’ve all been out of work but yesterday when I attempted to drive in at 9:30am, it was like night with ash blowing across the roads, the streetlights were on and the sun was an erie orange glow. I took a few pictures but they didn’t come out very well. I’ll post them later if they look decent.
So anyway, my thoughts go out to all those in the area that were affected or lost their homes and property. Currently about 1750 homes have burned to the ground. It’s a very sad state of affairs here.
