I agree. If I were a puppy, I would most certainly be likely to dream of ham eyes.

new QOTD Will you be watching the Winter Olympics?

I am right now!!

yes, watching sven kramer skate to gold!! :D

Yes, I am, even now.

I dread the following two weeks, though, because as far as work effectivity is concerned, it's going to be sub-zero, crowned by hippo-like yawns, due to olympiggameses ness.

I nearly always watch at least some. As an avid follower of bad celebrity fashion, I can't help but take a peek at the ice skating costumes, and this promises to be a banner year.


But, I read earlier today that NBC aired footage of the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili, and my enthusiasm for turning on the tv waned quite a bit. :(
Dunno. I hope to regain some of my warm fuzzy nostalgia for the games as I realize the athletes love their sports and want them to be loved by the viewers as well.

Yes! switching to Book-TV during commercials.

(We're all pretty much the same unless we've written a book or won a medal.)

Yep. You never know when seven other people will fall over so that the Australian can get a medal.

yes

on and off

One of the ice skating pairs went mime and I just could not be happier.

meh

Tom Brokaw's emotional profile of Canada and what great neighbors we are made me go all misty-eyed with affection, and then of course I thought about Trisherina, and then I had to get some ice cream or something to contain the emotion.
Love that Canada. I find myself rooting for them, yay. Must move there.

I'll watch most everything but the curling. Because I'm old and I remember how disgraced everyone felt about Munich.

And Portland practically is Canada -- felt very home-like when I was there, even down to taking buses. A lot like similar-sized cities in British Columbia. Which makes sense I suppose.

I liked the Shane Koyczan bit at the opening ceremonies, but the death of an athlete at the games always makes whatever follows a bit of an asterisk.

Which of life's little annoyances do you secretly enjoy complaining about?

well, up until yesterday
i guess it would have had to be
if someone knocks on your door
and someone opens it
and your house is a pigsty
the Mother is to blame
but all that is in the past
(Mo complaining about anything)

Utah drivers :p

sometimes they put too much valium in the stake-house punch :)

That dog is so spoiled! and so lazy!

^oh yes
they do break so easily

I enjoy complaining about how fast and tall my sons are growing, and how much they eat.

no.

about how he hates himself and wants to die

" I didn't know the words to this stupid song when we recorded it in the studio because I'm so super cool. So now I'm lip-syncing it and I don't give a shit because I am super cool and you already paid me.""

Oh, it's the original version of the Lion King song. A wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a wimoweh...
But if you play it on double speed, you realise he's singing about po-tay-toes...

the mating call of the double-breasted siberian loon

new QOTD:

what would you like to get as a present for your next birthday?

I hope to get a nice bedcover in the shades of green for my NEW! bed. I also hope my sister chooses one I will like...

And... um... a birthday card? :p

I would enjoy a trip to Madrid, said the tiny princess.
