Olympics, Templars, Tours
Either I am desperate due to lack of original television broadcasting, or bored to tears being stuck inside because of the bizarre weather, or I'm simply intrigued by the downright flawless bodies on some of the athletes by the events themselves, but I have to admit I have been watching the Olympics. o_O I pretty much planned on watching the Opening Ceremonies and that was going to be it since I really only care about tennis and football and I sincerely doubt either CBC or NBC give one iota how Rafa or Team Argentina fair in those events. The Opening Ceremonies, as I'm sure you are aware, were stupendous. A little lengthy but certainly worth every minute. After Team Canada's arrival, CBC decided to edit the parade of athletes and skipped a few significant nations *cough* SPAIN*cough* but fortunately NBC aired the entire event and I was able to see Rafa being his dorky usual self. He is such a big kid!! IMO, NBC gave him more camera time than any athlete..even the Americans!! Roger did get to carry the Swiss flag while Gonzo was Chile's flagbearer. Didn't get to see Gago in the P.O.A. but I did get to watch the Argentina/Australia game last night on TSN...GAGO in HD...it was truly a thing of beauty. And, surprisingly, Messi WASN'T a ball hog during the game. This morning I was able to watch a couple of the tennis matches via internet live feed. Good to see both Rog and Raf moving on. A couple of big upsets though - Ferrer and Murray are both out. And not to be forgotten...Feli is the #3 seed in Washington this week. That's right...#3. Now if only that was his REAL ranking.
I'm progressing slowly through Standard of Honor even though it is rather brilliant so far. One can never get enough of Scottish Templars. I am eagerly awaiting Lachlan's return. Richard the Lionhearted just showed up and we are now starting the preparations for the Third Crusade. In other words....*swoons*
No movies this weekend. Lots of intermittent rain which made it difficult once again to plan anything. I spent a lot of time trying to plan future vacations for those days when I am finally debt free (it's not that fair away...thankfully) and I think I've finally figured out which tour wins out for the Passion Play in 2010 (Trafalgar Tours - Sound of Music) It's not too lengthy, not too expensive and it gets me to Vienna, Salzburg and Neuschwanstein in addition to the Passion Play. That is pretty much all I want. Now I just have to wait until the 2010 dates are released and available to book (presumably sometime AFTER my DMP is done!!!) I'm so excited.
I don't want to jinx anything but I'm experiencing a lull at work. That's right. I'M NOT BUSY!!! Woohoo!!! Let's see how long it lasts!
