Can't get enough

...of those Olympic games.  Just the Winter ones.  What can I say, I was born in Lake Placid, NY, so just by shear birthplace I got it in my blood.  You have to do something in the snow and ice since it's on the ground from Nov. through May.  We used to flood our front lawn and skate on the ice, much to the chagrin of the mailman.  But enough about me.
    There's been a few highlights, Apolo Yoko Ohno lucked out when two Korean skaters took each other out.  I am not saying he's not talented, he very much so is.  I am saying without the fall, he would have not medaled.  He probably will pick up a few more, howevah.
  Very happy for women downhillers Vonn and Mancusco and so very proud of the mogul skiiers Hannah Kearney and Shannon Bahrke, gold and bronze respectively. Man they can move.

Way to go Bode Miller for getting yourself out of the bars and back into medal contention.  Just like every sport needs their playboy sex kitten they also need a bad boy with a comeback story.  Bronze in the Downhill and silver in the Super G....

Also worth mentioning,

Evan Lysacek upset Plushencho for the gold.  All the other men skaters looked like boys compared to him and his towering stature and five o'clock shadow. 

Jonny Weir wore a bustier the first night and a crown of roses the second.  The no-holds barred gay guy likes his flambouant costumes and he backs up his performance with some great skating.  Now if he can out run PETA supporters.

Did you see Sean White a few nights ago?  Man can that guy fly, what an athlete.  He already had the gold medal but still did a phenominal run to outscore himself.  What a guy.....

 Here's some meat........

I went and got some happy pills from the Dr.Thursday.  Wellbutrin.  The same stuff prescribed for quitting smoking.  I can't say I feel better since I have only taken them for two days.  But I feel better cause I took care of it.  Don't worry I won't become a slave to the chemicals.

Doesn't that sound good?  A caribbean beach..mmmm...BTW I've been at 15 followers for a few weeks now.  So if you read this and you like it, or not, start following.  Maybe I wouldn't need the happy pills.

Well I'm pretty spent.  We went to pick up our son from robotics and this one mom was there and sweet Jesus, she just went on and on about her kids and competitive soccer and who plays in the fucking band and how this one can do that ect...  I just smiled, shook my head yes,and was very congenial but I could see G2 ready to scream out "Lady I don't give a shit'

The waiting is the hardest part....

....my son is in the shower.  I will drive him to his robotics class shortly.  Then I'll figure out what to do for the lunch I'll provide for 15-20 kids working in the class.  I could make lasanga or just buy some pizzas.  I know they would like homemade better, but pizzas easier and also liked. 
   Saw some of the opening games last night ......................

I wondered what artistic genius made this shape?

I know it's a polar bear.  I thought it looked very simple. And like a gingerbreadcookie monster.

I think what was on the minds of many was the death of the luge rider from Georgia

This is the link of the accident  luge death.  Sorry.  RIP Nodar.  There were reports of concern about the luge track being too fast being voiced all week.  Wished they would have listened.  Now they are launching an investigation into the death instead of evaluating the concerns over the condidtions.  What happens when too fast is not fast enough?

  On a positive note, I thought Sarah McLachlan was stunning and I would put a link here to her performance of "One Dream" but they want money for it so sorry.

I taped the rest of the ceremonies and went on to watching some murder/missing person's shows on ID Discovery channel.  This is my new favorite channel.  It has missing persons and murder shows. I have no idea why I love these shows. I know I am so wacky.
