I should have been a systems administrator. I love doing this stuff! I'm currently setting up a wireless network in my house (cuz I don't want to be couped up in my room all day). Don't know why, but I love doing the research to find the best products, buying and then setting up.
I admit it, I did watch a bit of the olympics. But who would have ever thought that the curling event would BE SO EXCITING! I mean it! Those guys are crazy out there with their ice scrubber-thing-a-ma-jiggy. The news was that USA upset the defending champions Sweden. What I like most about the game though is that the opposing team is allowed to "scrub" during a move. If the stone is sliding out of the circle, the opposing team is allowed to "encourage" it to slide out by scrubbing. Very neat!
However, the Olympics had to let me down again after the exhilarating aftering watching those curlers. It had to do with the ice skating championships. I didn't watch it, but according to my dad, the gold medalists, the Russians I believe, had noticeable flaws in their routine. The silver medalists, the Canadians, executed a perfect performance. However, they only got the silver. Pretty uncool.
I finished cleaning everything out of my room. My technique of cleaning is to just move everything out to another room and then filter the stuff back into my room. I did a lot of dumping of a lot of old stuff that I had. In fact, I found a 8x10 photo of the senior prom that I went to. Any normal person would have thrown it away if he knew about what eventually happened with my date and I, but I decided to keep it. I looked sooo awesome in the photo. HEY! A little narcissism never hurt anyone! =)
The anime, "Hand Maid May" is a series that suits my style. I just finished the 10 episode (11, if you count the encore) yesterday. If it didn't have the gratuitous underwear shots, it might have beat Magic User's Club as my favorite anime. But it got negative points for being a little excessive. Still a great story though, and the intro song is unbelievably addicting. While a less cute that the ending to Mini-goddess (XXX - Kiss Kiss Kiss), it's really upbeat and a great "feel good" tune.
