today's afternoon olympics watching was the last couple minutes of the women's hockey, which was playing on the flatscreen tv in the cafe at work. it was very exciting. i held my breath a lot. obviously i wanted the us to win, but if we have to lose to someone, i'm totally cool with the fact that we lost to canada ( Read more... )

lobsters, vikings, olympics, tentacles, curling, raiders of the lost ark, cool shit

Wow the footage and photos of that secret warehouse are AMAZING. Truly amazing.

Ha! I just told Nic that he might get out of cleaning the pool filter this weekend after all, and he briefly got all excited until I told him under what circumstances he might get out of it :p

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that David Attenborough's narration would make it over the pond so quickly. It was actually on Radio 4 (talk radio), which I listen to on my commute. The day before a listener had called in to moan about the commentator for the women's curling (I think, I didn't catch that segment), and said something along the lines of 'I bet David Attenborough would make a better job of it'. And within 24 hours they got him to actually do it and broadcast it the following evening. I love it if inbetween all the news about politics & economics they have some fun.

i love that. i pay attention to the curling commentators maybe half the time, and i totally agree that sir david did a better job. and yeah, how cool that radio 4 did something fun between all the serious stuff.

Warehouse 13 US Army is kind of huge and impressive (and shrouded in darkness because that's good for preservation and for energy bills, oh rhetorical questions in article)

oh man, can you imagine the electricity bill for that place, if they left the lights on? yikes. it looks like such a neat place, tho. so much nifty historical stuff!
