2nd consecutive post on sports...
Greetings, earthlings. It's been a while since I posted, and well, you know what they say, "If you don't use it, you lose it." And, well......
First off, and this is not just because I live in a socialist country now, I hate the Winter Olympics. And I couldn't care less about hockey, either. I'm sorry if that makes me a bad person. The only event I watched (not by choice) was the gold medal curling match. And it was terrible. But, back to hockey. It is unwatchable. It's like if soccer were played underwater and you couldn't ever see the ball. What's the point. And most of the other events are all variations on one theme: There's a mountain and you see who can go down it the fastest. Luge, skeleton, bobsled, slalom, downhill. It's all the same look. The Winter Olympics is the Derek Zoolander of sporting events.
Sure, the Summer Olympics has a lot of the same stuff too, but there is a lot more variation. Plus it's exciting. There's basketball, boxing, Eastern European women(possibly) lifting cars, or something. If the Winter Olympics put the pommel horse on the side of a mountain and said, "Okay Nadia, lets see what you're made of", than perhaps they would grab my attention. Or they could draw up a basketball court on a frozen lake. That would really be the Winter Olympics' Magnum.
I finally had my first taste of cuy (pictures to come). I thought it was pretty good, as far as deep fried rodents go. Roasted is up next. Gotta try 'em all. Once you pop the fun don't stop. When pizza's on a bagel.... Oh yeah, Doritos time! Gotta crunch it 'cuz it's good.
That's all, off to bed and a 5:30 alarm.
