Are you going to all the free stuff?

I'm going to try! I'm working the whole time, but I'm right downtown, and there are a lot of pavilions and things all around. I just saw the torch from a distance through the office window! It's still travelling through the city today, and then it is coming to the Four-Host First Nations Pavilions at 1:45, where it is going to stay until the opening ceremonies. Fortunately, the Four-Host First Nations Pavilion is right across the street from my office! Cool!

Exciting, Abby!

If you're born in the US is there any way for you to have your citizenship revoked?

Yes, but you have to show you don't want it anymore (and the gov't has the burden of proof). Swear loyalty to another country, join their armed forces . . . those things could do it, but the presumption is that people don't intend to do this.

I misread the Georgia one wrong.

The article itself isn't implying anything is wrong with what the ice dancers are doing.

It's the people commenting on the article who are making racist and ignorant comments that the ice dancers are traitors to America, they need to be deported and have their citizenship revoked, etc.

There are also people pointing out that it's no big deal, that this isn't the first time it's happened, and there is nothing wrong with having dual citizenship.

I am super excited about the olympics! It's Vancouver! I wish I were there! Hockey! Luge! Curling! I am so excited about curling. I got all sucked in four years ago because it kept getting lumped in with the hockey on my tivo, and I got captivated. I could watch curling for hours, and I only get to once every four years! Yay Olympics!

I'm still pissed about the time delay. I do love the Olympics, but I have no interest in watching if I know the results.

I also hate that NBC is so vague about their coverage: "From 1pm-5pm, these 10 things will be on." Not helpful.

HMOG!

In trying to cram in a bunch of invoices in 2 hours, I discovered an entire month of invoices for our biggest vendor never got scanned in. Somewhere in the yearend shuffle they are just not there. scramble scramble. So I think I will take my snow day off another day. I still need to leave early since I left the precious (mac's ds) at home and he will freak out like a wild boar should he not have it for the ride back from therapy. GRR.

SO now I am just staying until like 2 or 3 and see if I can cram through a few more invoices. good god.
