This Contest is Terminally Awesome

I am a big fan of random adventures, contests, reality TV shows, and other miscellaneous life experiences.

Most people will probably think I'm crazy for this, but I think this gig sounds AWESOME!: 

The Vancouver International Airport (airport code YVR) in British Columbia, Canada, is celebrating their 80th anniversary. To celebrate and commemorate, they're sponsoring a very unique and innovative Terminal-esque contest.

They want someone to live at the airport, living, breathing, sleeping, eating and shopping there - for 80 consecutive days.

American Pie Idol

Well the results are in, and after what was for me a typical & disappointing season of American Idol, we have a winner. Scott Mcreery. Yawn. I mean Congratulations Scott! Good job! You worked hard. It's not your fault America is boring. 

The season started with a buzz. Simon was leaving, Kara was fired. I don't think I heard anyone say they were excited for the addition of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler joining as Idol judges. The whole thing was supposed to be a flop because of them, but I think they saved it. I like Simon a lot and would be happy to see him again, but I didn't miss him. Jennifer and Steven were a lot of fun and offered good direction, in my opinion.  I also liked that they didn't show as much audition silliness as they have in the past. I know it can be funny, but I don't think it's in the spirit of American Idol to make fun of people. It's like suddenly seeing nudity on broadcast channels. I don't necessarily mind it, but it's outside my box of appropriateness. I want to go to cable for my nudity. And I want to tune in to Chelsea Handler to make fun of people, not American Idol
