saturday's curling gold medal game was pretty fun. mainly because of the pants. sadly, they weren't the red-white-blue ones, but the red-white-grey ones. still. there was someone from canada who had an air horn and blew it a few of the times norway was shooting [or whatever it's called...]. he got booed by the fans for being a rude ass. and then when canada won i sang the random parts of their national anthem i know.
but holy shit sunday's hockey gold medal game was so intense! seriously. canada got 2 in the first period, but us scored once in the second and again no even a minute before the end of the third. oh god! i was trying to do my embroidery while watching, but by then i had pretty much abandoned it. way too intense. so, SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME!! AND CANADA SCORED!!!! god i was so excited!!! i was following a spam thread on the hetalia com, filled with strange and random bouts of national pride. but, alas, i was deleted. stupid mods... i knew, though, that if canada lost they would be the most depressed silver medalists in the history of forever.
and then i made myself celebratory pancakes. i put a little hot chocolate mix in and poured the rest of the maple syrup in the microwave bottle. i used the last of the bisquick to make 3 giant pancakes of delicious. and the 'canada' on facebook enjoyed my antics.
the closing was so fucking weird. william shatner and michael j fox talked about being canadian, there were dancing mounties, giant inflatable beavers, a kid dressed as a hockey puck, and i had no idea what i was watching. at all. it was just so weirdly amazing. except nbc sucks... but i missed he nickelback/avril lavgne concert, which is totally okay with me.
in other news, i'm desperately procrastinating on my bibliographies. like nobody's business. it's really bad, but i just can't motivate myself to work. and i would skip the class they're due, except we don't really have class next week, only one-on-one meetings. so i have 5 to do by class thursday. i need to just bookmark my hetalia pages and close the windows...
in other news, yasha is back to being communicable! [i'm not sure if that's the right word... though nicole may argue he is an easily-spreadable disease...] he got a new phone that works finally, and we had fun conversations last night. it made me very happy to have him back. not that he went anywhere...
i managed to successfully cook salmon for dinner today. the flesh-y side was nice and crispy golden brown, and all the flesh was cooked. and i even had a salad!
i ordered a new-ish ipod today. i got a light green 16G nano, 4th gen. not the most recent, the one with the camera, cuz i don't like that green. hopefully it'll be here by the end of the week, monday at the latest. and i pre-ordered "lord sunday" because garth nix has finally gotten his act together and finished the series! it makes me quite excited. i'm gonna have to re-read at least "superior saturday" over break, for it'll be waiting for me when i get back.
i'm angry at my laptop. i'm getting better at making the space bar work, though it tends to skip when i type 'gold medal' [whoa i didn't that time!]. the t has been giving me rouble [grr], and the middle thumb-button for scrolling has stopped working for some reason. very annoying... i keep intending to take it to the help desk, at least to get a new battery, but i'm lazy.
i guess i should do one more round of F5, and then get started on these bibs...
i love you, blue. seriously. she did both pics i have today. it's highly amusing that in men's and women's hockey it's canada-usa-finland.
