Archuletta?

Where art thou?

So I ran to the grocery store at 6:30 tonight, in hopes that I would be back in time at 7 to see Murray High School student and American Idol contender David Archuletta sing the national anthem for the third Jazz/Lakers game tonight. On Wednesday I decided to go on another raw food diet (that’s fruits, veg, grains, seeds, and nuts all raw, not cooked) because I wanted to clean out the bod and slim down a little. Even as a size 4 pescotarian (that’s a vegetarian who also eats fish), I am a bit squishy around the edges and I’d like to tone up for this Summer’s outdoor events. Too many vegan brownies and bread, I guess. So I had to make a run to get some things for dinner.

So I got home at 6:55. Perfect. I whipped up a raw dip and plated some asparagus and carrots. (sounds appetizing, doesn’t it?) So I’m all settled with my cats, Smokey and The Bandit, in front of KJAZZ. They start at the tip off! David was not televised. Even half time was not aired.

I did, however, get to catch him sing (on KUTV) around 5:30 today at on the field of Murray High. They had a big tailgate party there and he sang “Stand By Me”. Unfortunately it was the original BB. King song and not the Pennywise version (wouldn’t that have been cool?) but he did a stellar job, of course.

I don’t know how long the prodigy will be in Utah before he goes back to California to perform on next Tuesday’s Idol, but if his people are reading this, I’d love to have him perform on this Sunday’s X96 Live and Local. If he could do a Cure or NIN cover, that would absolutely make the history books! It’s a long shot, but I’m just throwing it out there.
