Olympics
So I've been watching the Olympics. I admit it. I don't think the coverage has been as bad as everyone says (although I definitely agree the commentators can be excruciatingly annoying). Here are some of my observations:
* Bob Costas has dyed his hair way too dark. It just doesn't look natural. I noticed as the weeks progressed his hair has become slightly more natural looking.
* That Italian ice dancing couple made for some great television. I have never seen anything quite like it before. It was refreshing to see such bitchiness in front of the cameras. Did they not realize that everyone would see how they were behaving?
* Germans are talented.
* I should have gone into aerial skiing. It appears that I am the right height and weight for that sport. I would have been great. Damn.
* Dick Button is a bitchy old queen. He was just downright nasty to a lot of the figure skaters. I would love to see him get his fat ass out there and try some of those things the women had to do. I could feel Scott Hamilton cringing everytime he said something.
* The female commentator said during women's figure skating the following: "The other women skate to the music of "Romeo & Juliet"; Sasha Cohen IS Juliet." Gag me.
* I still don't understand curling.
* I am embarrassed to say that I had never heard of the country Belarus before the men's aerials.
* Does Greenland ever participate in the Olympics?
* The participants in figure skating all appear extremely nervous before they do their program. I wonder if there has ever been some accidental "leakage" (if you know what I mean) during a performance.
* Bobsledding seems kinda gay. You have to get awfully close and tight with a person of the same sex. I'm just sayin'...
* I used to think speed skating was kinda stupid until I saw that Korean kid do it. Man, he is really good.
* Bode Miller is kinda hot. Although he should probably lay off the alcohol like me.
* Shani Davis is kinda hot too.
Okay. That's all for now. Bu-bye.

Kalaallit Nunaat is the official name though the Danes would call it Grønland...
By the way - there are no roads in Grønland - to get from city to city you have to fly via helicopter...

Imagine curling like billiards, except you only get one pocket, and the sole pocket is a big target instead. You use the same techniques and strategies with curling as you do with billiards, i.e. blocking the pocket (target), knocking opponent's stones out of the way, or getting it right on target (if you can).
They make tractors in Belarus, and their leader is insane.

we make tractors in the U.S. and our leader is insane.

in the native language of kalaallit nunaat, there are no words for numbers, so during the middle of speaking, you'll suddenly hear a danish number thrown in. fascinating, i know!
