16. This is...

American Idol!

Every week we get a little slice of American pop culture when AI airs here on Thursday nights (two days late for us...so you, Facebookers, don't ruin it for us). It has kinda become roommate tradition for us since our neighbors let us borrow a television until we leave.

I know it seems silly, but it's a highlight of the week that we look forward to and often talk about. I think it helps us feel a little connected and like we are "in the American loop" to be able to talk about and discuss something that is popular at home. Most other shows that air here are re-runs from previous seasons. So, it's nice to be "current." We also enjoy making fun of Paula because, really, when does she ever make sense?

I couldn't post about my daily life here without mentioning our little guilty pleasure.
