Happiness is: Watching the Vancouver Winter Olympics opening ceremonies on a TV that actually works, packing/putting together new stuff for the new place and the 'kitten' and Aaerro sleeping on either side of me while I work.
Tomorrow: More boxes and hoping to catch some skiing action! I want to see the African/Ghanan guy everyone keeps talking about. I think his nick name is the 'Snow Leopard'. Similar idea to the Jamaican bobsled team, only Ghana doesn't even recognize him as an athlete. He's literally the only person participating from his country. He says 'My aim is NOT to be last', LOL! If he's made it to Vancouver, he must be decent ^.^
Pity about the Georgian(??) guy who died during luge practice. Saw the accident replay. F**k.. no wonder he died! What did him in was wrapping his head around an unpadded pole. Not that losing control at over 100 KPH and bouncing off a railing was child's play. Lets put it this way - Bobsledders say ice will burn you at their speeds.
I was at my parent's place for the pre-ceremonies stuff. While watching the info, my sister was going through the ticket prices for the different Olympic venues. Most prices were painful to see - average was over $300. Cheapest we found? $90 for either Curling or Biathalon. Cool. I like both sports :) Most expensive? Men's Hockey - Battle for Gold game. Private suite - $160 THOUSAND. Hell, the cheapest seats for that game (in the nosebleed section!) were over 2 thousand dollars!
On another note - my bro's GF is sick. Migranes/autoimmune stuff is causing her to puke. I'm hoping for the best for her. I'm wondering if I should ask to do a healing spell for her? She was really bad today :(
