It’s I Love the ’00s Week (see Monday’s post for the rules, or lack thereof).

This is Robo-James. The Morning After is a daily post in which humans can discuss the previous night’s television transmissions, as perceived with your limited senses through the gelatinous orbs you call eyeballs.
It’s songs-from-movies week on “American Idol,” which means a mentoring appearance from a frighteningly earnest Quentin Tarantino. And fitting a Hollywood production, “Idol” found itself fighting running-time overruns, after last Tuesday ran way over; this week only two judged got to speak per contestant. (Maybe we should start off with …

It’s Easter weekend, and as a special present to you, I have decided to take a week’s vacation. (I wasn’t sure if you liked chocolate.)
