California Dreamin’

What’s up with the weather in Southern California? Am I the only one scared of some monster earthquake running through the region and tearing down my house? Where I’m from, we call this earthquake weather.

Watching the ‘Lympics

In case you’ve been living under a rock or something over the last few days, the 2006 Winter Olympics are going on…

A few points:

1. Bob Costas needs to be bound and gagged and left on the side of a snowy mountain somewhere. His voice is becoming more than just mildly annoying.

2. It’s a shame that Michelle Kwan couldn’t compete. She deserves one more shot.

3. I also feel a little bad about Apolo Ohno, but he tried to pass when he didn’t need to (they would have taken the top 2 and he was in a strong 2nd place with about 10 seconds left in the race), and paid the price for it, ending up losing control and finishing 4th.

4. Shawn “The Flying Tomato” White on the men’s Halfpipe competition continues to set the standard, and it was mildly disappointing that we couldn’t sweep the medals as we did in SLC four years ago.

5. I’m looking forward to the hockey games…

Feel free to comment.
