more news from the district

CUA is back in the news- although this time not because of the American Idol contestant or partying sports team. (Side note, I am pretty sure there are at least a dozen dimple balls in the woods behind right field of the softball field where the remains were found) I find the actions of 'Tony' interesting... he finds a skull and puts it in a bag and walks down the street to 7-Eleven where he shows it off to people. Then he decides he no longer wants it. So he throws it in the dumpster, being described as "acting like he found something he didn't want to find."

At first I was thinking it is strange of him to go from so happy to find it (and carry it down the street to show it off) to not wanting to be responsible for it. But I can't blame him for not wanting to stick around and wait for the police. He could have a history with them or perhaps has done some other things that he doesn't want them to know about. Likely they would be interested in discussing only the head, but he may not know that and just wants to protect himself.

oh cua...

for those who haven't heard already there is much noise surrounding american idol contestant antonella barba. it seems there are some pictures of her going around on the internet, including one in the bathroom on the toilet and one on vacation with her friends. since i know you are going to search around for them anyways, here they are;
honestly i dont think there are a big deal. my reaction to the first one is why does she need so much toilet paper? i feel like that picture could very well have been taken at a party at the cloisters. there were probably a bunch of college students hanging out and someone thought it would be funny to bust in and snap a picture. its not the worst thing that has happened at a cua party [side note, i am pretty sure i knew i saved those pictures for a reason, i couldnt find them anywhere with a quick google search...] and i am over the second picture. if anything, i feel bad for the other people in the picture, in particular anyone who might find the picture less than flattering.

i could see why in the american idol scene these photos are less than desirable, but they are not nearly as bad as some other things that contestants have done...

another CUA student

I am rooting for Antonella Barba (right, with her friend) on American Idol because she is a student at CUA. From what I have seen she is pretty good, and I heard through the grapevine a few weeks ago that she made the top 24 (which airs tonight). For anyone interested here is her page on myspace.

After writing that I sort of feel like a stalker. In other AI news I hope the beat-box guy Blake makes it through. He is pretty good I think, and its just fun to watch someone do something different.
