One Million Words
Yes, it's official. Apparently the English language now has one million words. Uh, huh.

Miniature Tigers
My nephew Alex and his band, Miniature Tigers, were in town yesterday, headlining at The Basement in Columbus. You may have heard of them if you follow MtvU. One of their videos, for Cannibal Queen, just won The Freshman and has been added to Mtv2's Subterranean playlist.
Cannibal Queen was actually their finale last night, and they invited people from the audience up on stage to play/dance with them. I videoed it and have been trying all morning to upload the video to Youtube to share it with you, but it is taking FOREVER. So, instead, I leave you with their winning video for Cannibal Queen.

What's Up Wednesday

American Idol
Anyone watch the Adam/Kris finale on American Idol last night? What did you think? Who do you think will win? I was a little underwhelmed by the show as a whole - especially the Kara song - but I think both Adam and Kris had "moments." I'm pretty sure Adam will come out ahead, but I love that both of them will be just as pleased if the other wins.

Glee
After Idol, we saw the pilot episode of Glee. Anyone else catch it? It's set at an Ohio school! Go, Bucks!

Teen Author Carnival
Kind of spur-of-the-moment, I made it work so I could go to BEA and participate in the Teen Author Carnival next Thursday night. If you're going to BEA or are in the NYC area, I'd love to see you!

New Moon Poster
Ooooh. I love the darker, edgier feel to this poster. Who do you think carries the poster here, Edward or Jacob? As much as I laughed at the makeup/wigs/special effects/acting in the first movie, I can't wait to see this one!

Book Auction
Please take the time to hop over to this site and bid on a book or two. This auction is to benefit Bridget Zinn, an upcoming YA author. Bidding ends May 29th.

That's it for me. What's up with you?
