Curling -- for those who love watching trainwrecks.

Feb 19, 2006 19:19

While I do not totally understand it -- and the fact that I hate that I've actually been enjoying the motherfucking Olympics -- I am fascinated by curling. I do kind of get it, truth be told, but it is such a boring game. It seems like a mix of bowling, hockey, shuffle board, cleaning (as in cleaning the house with brooms) and maybe a couple of other things. It is so painful to watch, but I feel like I have to see the end of it. Or else. Or else what, do you ask? I will miss the end of the boring curling match, is what! Men's curling is a lot more interesting than the women's curling, I must say. Though, I do not know why. The men play a more aggressive game with more strategy, and the women just seem rather bored with the game themselves.
      Bode Miller was homeschooled. Raise your hand if you knew that Peekaboo Street was also homeschooled. I remember watching the Olympics when she was skiing, and I had no idea she was homeschooled until two days ago. She made me like Chapstick. (That's a lie.) There is so much that, in the past three days, I could have been doing... but I haven't. However, I do feel proud of the fact out of all of my dojo I was the first to hand in my karate camp application. I handed in the application, actually, the class following to having gotten the application (and I was the first to get the application.) So as long as I'm the first to get in my money for the kanpai, I will feel like I've proved myself when it comes to signing up for karate events. (Last year, I was definitely one of the last people signed up for camp because I wasn't sure if I was going. Hence, why I feel that I have to prove myself. It's probably more about proving myself to myself, but that's okay.)
      There are plenty of other things going on, but I feel more inclined to discontinue writing here and think to myself that I will actually do something productive once I get off of the computer. Not that I will, or anything like that. All of the classes which I'm taking are going fairly well, though photography is giving me a bit of trouble. However, in concerns to photography, I think I will be having more fun later on in the semester. At least, I hope so. The most important thing I've learned in the past several days is that the terminology for brass knuckles is tekko. Awesome!
