Afro-Blue was fantastic. I loved it.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, the whole "why are you doing this to us" speech was a bit much, when the "this" was, basically, charge the correct amount.

Killing Me Softly is the second Afro Blue song that I have purchased from iTunes. Which is EXTREMELY significant. I actually have one of their previous jazz albums back before they were famous :)

Look at you, Vortex. I need to go to Itunes and start buying some of these songs.

People seemed to really like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", but I loved their "American Boy" even better. I suspect that by the end, I will have paid enough for individual songs to have just bought the album.

BTW, I love that the judges get along. There is none of that faux fighting bullshit that occurs in other shows. I get the sense the judges enjoy each other's comments, laughing at the jokes, etc. They may disagree, but it isn't seen as a personal affront.

I am watching Monsters-In-Law on A&E (a reality show about bad in-laws). It is a trip and a half. These in-laws are REALLY bad.
Anyone else catching this?

I thought it was going to be watch-from-the-hall bad, so avoided. The only reason I can think that families would agree to be on it is that each side believes it's the other half that will get a comeuppance.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the first one, the situation was resolved enough that they took a family vacation together! So I think they are going on the show because they don't have the wherewithal to resolve the issues themselves.

Did you notice during one of Nick's talking-to-the-camera moments, Shawn and Ben doing weird arm gestures in the far background? Then Shawn was trying to get Sara to join him but she just kept her arms down. Heh.
