Coolest bathtub evah?

Glow in the dark tub puts bathing in a cool light

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.

I've got to clean off my dvr for the Olympics, too. I'm recording tonight's opening ceremonies more for the ability to fast-forward through the nations (I like to see what they're wearing, and then move on) than anything else.

I'm a big fan of downhill skiing due to the fact that my first-ever crush was at the age of just-shy-of-ten when I saw Franz Klammer windmill his arms around to stay on his skis in the '76 Innsbruck games. God, he was gorgeous!

I'll watch just about everything else, too. Got sucked into the snowboarding side-by-side races in the Torino games, so that I'll be dvring.

Liese! !!!!!! Have some exclamation marks! I'm even using them in my speech today.

Oh, and really, the opening ceremonies? Won't be anything like Beijing. Just FYI. Kind of a tough act to follow.

I only get to once every four years! Yay Olympics!

Oh Liese, if you can ever find access to Canadian TV, I swear there's curling on every weekend from fall to spring.

When I was a kid, my aunt took us kids to Telemark Lodge in Northern Wisconsin. At one point we took cross-country ski lessons. The instructor was a former Olympic cross-country skier

Oh, hey, we used to go there all the time.

Re citizenship: the only cases I remember where people's citizenship was actually revoked have been things like going to Cuba and denouncing your citizenship, and even then, someone high up in the govmint has to a) take you seriously and b) pretty much be already holding a grudge.
