I only saw a couple of Christina's skits last night plus the kickin' performance of This Love by Maroon 5, and all I can remember is being plumb shocked out of my tired stupor at her impression of Kim Catrall. Big wow.

The step show at the Odome last night would've been cool even without the VIP perks. They just don't grow them like they do in North Carolina. Mmm. Also, am v. proud of self for interviewing, oh, nine people over the course of the day. Strangers! Just walked right up and started talking! And what fun! I'm beginning to think I really have found my niche with journalism, which is a lovely notion.

As [livejournal.com profile] walkingshadow has mentioned, I, too, am courting the summer study abroad programs. Sadly, most of them begin either in June or July, which would mean no Challenge for me, and there's no not having Challenge in my world. It's an event only half, if that much, about the boys - the rest is all meeting up with people you adore but never get to see, meeting ones you admire or squee with, gallivanting around the host city, going drinking and dancing, and just having a wonderful time with good company.

Also, I suddenly don't know if Paris is where I want to spend six weeks - I, too, love London, and there are plenty of programs not necessarily through the university that offer study opportunities there. Advice? Recommendations?

Okay, 8:39? Not considered sleeping in. *sigh* Oh, well. I had things to do today anyway.

I totally thought it was a dubbed thing at first. She had Kim Catrall DEAD ON! I was impressed. I did think that was the ONLY funny skit of the night, though. And why did Maroon 5 boy go all Justified on his hair!!?! It was so gorgeous and he didn't look QUITE as skinny with the hair framing his face.

Another tear shed for beautiful hair chopped off.

So dead on! It was wicked and a little creepy, like watching Andy Serkis speak in Gollum's voice at the beginning of RotK. And if it was the only good one, then good - I fell asleep.

I didn't know the Maroon 5 lead singer before this performance, so I couldn't say. I thought he looked good, though. I love watching singers who have that utterly distracted vibe about them as they do their thing. But I know about mourning for shorn hair - Justin continues to wound me with his insistence that this cropped thing is the be-all, end-all of style for him.

Shoot, I didn't know Maroon5 was on last night. I bet they were incredible!

If I had it to do over again, my study abroad would have been in New Zealand. Hands down.

I only saw This Love, but yeah, they were fab. :) Love that song.

Hm. And see, after Australia, I was totally underwhelmed by New Zealand. Wanted to do Sydney for a while though. Mmm, Sydney. Beautiful city, lovely people, sexy accents. What more could a girl ask for?

Is that right? I'd always heard that New Zealand was the more striking of the two, though I'm uninformed on what else the country has to offer...

I might agree that georgraphically, New Zealand is probably more beautiful, but the rolling hills do get monotonous in their own way. Plus, I really loved the cities we stopped in in Australia, whereas New Zealand was pretty nondescript in comparison.
