Bravo, Hil! We bow before your geneaology-fu!
Today is a busy day: I'm taking Dad to church & then to brunch, then a bike ride with my sister, and then we're going to see Twenty Feet from Stardom at the brewpub theater. I'm looking forward to checking out the food at this place: so far all I've had is beer and popcorn.
Tomorrow I need to re-start the job hunt, woo and hoo. SIGH.
So I underestimated how many beets I actually had, but I think the soup is still delicious.
Does that mean you have more soup than planned, or still have beets?
So I underestimated how many beets I actually had
0, the number of times I've made that mistake.
I meant overestimated! It means I have soup that isn't that beet-y.
Ooh, that Jamaican woman on the Voice is great. (Side note: Reality TV really is the vanguard of diversity on TV. No one would cast her to play a Jamaican on a scripted show. Ditto this woman from Supermarket Superstar.)

Apparently Jamaica is terribly excited and also are simultaneously wondering why a woman who's so famous to them is climbing up from the bottom, but such is the paradox of elsewhere.
You don't need to be at the bottom to be on the show, just unsigned. A while ago, there was a woman whose video was inescapable (I thought) on VH1 a year earlier, but got dropped by her label. She didn't make it far on the show, either.
And E.G. Dailey! She's been in the business for years, although the last time she sang was probably in the '80s.

Yeah, she's mostly been doing voiceover work. Though, of course, I always think of her in Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

She's starting on the bottom of the show. By getting on the show you're automatically not on the bottom of the industry, clearly. But everyone starts from the same bottom once they're there, never mind that back home she's a household name and used to heavy radio play.
