I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know...

Happy Mardi Gras!

And I'm celebrating by working (woooo-hoooo--next best thing to being in n'awlins, really; hmmm, maybe I should give up doing work at night for Lent???).

Anyways, the weekend went well. Cirque was great--although there was a pesky Heat game next door; and the meet went rather well. Didn't get too burned or anything, although Casey did beat me in the 500 (although she had a great swim). Times were rather good, even a 16:53 in the mile.

And I ended the weekend by trying to stub my toe 5 or 6 times on Sunday--not fun. I escaped in the evening by watching the Big Lebowski.

Aight... back to D3--I'm on "TCNJ": THE College of New Jersey.


Je suis désolé
Lo siento
Ik ben droevig
Sono spiacente
Perdóname

I want to be the minority, I don't need your authority, Down with the moral majority

...cause I want to be the minority

Time flies when you aren't doing anything... other than working on President's Day, getting to see 2, count-em *2*, USA curling matches (the men on Sunday vs. Britain--or rather "Scotland" as the t.v. folks kept saying--and the women get trounced by Britain on Monday). And while I didn't get to see/hear the Canadian's men skip yelling like crazy, I did get a good share of "whoas", even from the Johnson sisters... And there was that way "rockin" Google logo yesterday. [stealing Erin's pun there]

Oh, and while the curling was on, I managed to clear a path to the front door --->

(the t.v.'s the bright thing just to the right of center--the U.S. men's match is actually on)




Hmmmm, what else? Oh, gearing up for a Masters meet at the Hall of Fame this weekend, and going to see Cirque du Soleil's Varekai down in Miami. And, monitoring Casey at the State meet this weekend (go! Casey! go!).

And I'll close out with 2 rants:
1) lack of religion does not mean lack of morality (in fact, it might mean more morals)
2) NBC needs to quit creating drama--Shani and Chad weren't ever super pissed off at each other; if anything, they were both mad at NBC media for making a ruckus where it didn't exist to begin with. Besides, they're competitors: they don't need to like each other all the time.

You can't always get what you want

You just might find
You get what you need

Lost in an image, in a dream, but there's no one there to wake her up...

Man... it's quite annoying to have this song stuck in your head. And what's worse is that it's been there for over a week. My own fault, really; so I'll just suffer.

In other news, I've now been awake for over 12 hours today (I got up at 4:32 a.m. so I could swim this morning, beginning at 5 a.m.). As usual, the hardest part was getting out-of-bed.


Oh, and just because:

Instructional sites on curling can be found at either the BBC or the IOC (the latter has a nice little flash animation explanation linked on the right).


And just quite possibly the coolest wiki ever (tho sans swimming, stupidly!).


And the world is spinning
And she keeps on winning
But tell me, what happens when it stops?

Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight...

Apparently, Joey Cheek--speedskating's 500m gold-medalist yesterday in Torino--wants to go to Harvard, 'cept it sounds like Harvard didn't want him...

Yahoo has a couple good Reuters photos of him as well, tho I like this one the best...
(I'd post 'em here, but who know what kind of havoc that would cause.)

Btw, the red ball is for Right to Play.


Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
