the olympics

i really need to purchase an umbrella at some point soon. this is the second time i've been out and about and got caught in the pouring rain. i have been soaked through within 5 seconds--no kidding. the rain here comes down a lot harder than over there. it doesn't rain as often--but when it does--boy does it! that drowned rat you see walking around?

that's me.

i love the olympics. i love love love it. i remember watching it every year it was on with my family and taking bets and rooting and all that stuff. i stayed up past my bedtime to watch the relay--which was AWESOME. it was absolutely intense. totally great.

i am going to look into it a bit more--but i want to see if this could possibly be one of the more bloody olympics. how about those russians and georgians? so much for the olympic spirit. i knew where georgia was--but, i must confess that i did go look up where south ossetia was. i don't feel so ashamed about that.
