Dear Blog,

I am watching last Wednesday night's episode of American Idol. I actually already know who gets kicked off, but I wanted to watch it anyway. First of all, can I address Paula's confession about her addiction to painkillers? I just saw a blog on the Internet titled "Paula Abdul admits addiction to painkillers...Also, fire is hot!" I was cracking up. Poor Paula. I've always liked her, even if she did just lip-synch her performance on Idol. I had her tapes--she was cool. We all know she can't sing as well as any of the top four, but that's okay. Another thing, Danny's performance the other night was painful! Yikes. He probably should've been kicked off, but I think a lot of people like him. Adam is the best singer, but Kris is so easy on the eyes. I guess Idol comes on tonight in America, but I will have to wait.

Anyway, Juan and I saw two movies in the theatre this weekend. We saw "I love you, man" and "Gran Torino." I'm sure that these movies came out months ago in the US, but I am in Mexico afterall. I enjoyed both films. We saw "Gran Torino" in the 'platinum' theatre. It was like a regular theatre on steroids. We sat in leather recliners and ordered our snacks from our seats. If only the could've gone to the bathroom for me, it would've been perfect. The coolest part was that it cost the same as a regular movie in the US. I might get spoiled down here.

Well, the kids have been back for two days so I'm back in the old routine. Not much else going on. Juan and I are planning to go to Veracruz for the weekend, so I'm looking forward to that.

Toodles,
Jenny en la ciudad
