Matters of import, updated.

Ridiculously large summer reading assignment?  Check.  InfiniteSummer.org

Adult education class to learn to shoot less-bad pictures?  Check.  Flickr.com

In short, I got cultural embiggening coming out my ears.

But what's REALLY important about summer is summer is when America's Got Talent is on and tonight is when Season 4 makes its debut (2 Hour Season Premiere, 9p, 8 Central, check your local listings).  This is what makes summer summerier.

What's in store for us this year?  We can expect Piers, Sharon and the Hoff back as judges.  But this year, the show will be helmed by Nick Cannon (host of MTV's Wild'N'Out, star of band geek wet dream Drumline and '70s roller skating geek fantasy Roll Bounce).  How will his street-smart patter mesh with the "explosive combination of celebrity judges David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan"? (from NBC's press release).

I've commented in this space previously on the wonderfulness of America's Got Talent.  This summer should be no different.  To date we've seen a ventriloquist, an opera-singing insurance salesman and an 11-year-old singer take home the million-dollar prize.  What will AGT 2009 deliver?

Tune in.  That's where I'm headed right now.
