I have so much to say about the Olympics. I think the best way to do this is to steal Julie H.’s idea and post a summary of the running IM commentary we did while watching the opening ceremonies last night:
It’s starting!
Was this pre-taped! That sucks!!
Who cares about security! I want Centaurs!
Pretty light show! Drums!

Yesterday

Well, let me just say that yesterday was *not* my day. Near-death bee sting experience aside, I also had the most frustrating commute of my life last night. I was going to my night class which starts at 6. I was almost there, just 3 miles of highway to go before my [...]
A Crash Course
Posted in Uncategorized on August 12, 2004 | No Comments »
After this morning’s lovely adventure, I finally thought to myself, how many of you would actually know what to do if I or anyone else you know went into anaphylactic shock? Not many I would think. Here’s a quick guide:
1. Call 9-1-1. This is of utmost importance. Do not wait to see if symptoms will [...]

That being said, I hate bees and other things that make me not breathe. What a way to start the morning. I was walking the dog with a friend of mine (who most fortunately happens to be an ER nurse) when I got stung by a bee. It was sitting on my [...]
Darwin and Other Stupid Animals

That’s it. I’ve officially renamed the dumb squirrel who lives near my apartment Darwin. Why? Because “Survival of the Fittest” is bound to catch up to him one of these days. This squirrel is either very near-sighted or has a very low IQ. Either way, he’s not fit for procreation. Just the other night, the [...]
The Daily Show

Did anyone else see Clinton on The Daily Show yesterday or the day before? I was kind of disappointed in him. He just looked *so* tired. I liked what he was saying, but there appeared to be no enthusiasm behind it. Not because he didn’t believe in what he was saying, [...]

Okay, so this morning I had another run in with the Bridge-Pissing family. Only this time I came away really, really amused. Get this – the family was fishing off the bridge at the same spot where the kid peed. lol. They were actually keeping the fish they caught too, which [...]
Why People Are Gross and/or Incredibly Stupid (Part 65)
Posted in Uncategorized on August 7, 2004 | No Comments »
I am really sick of the whole Bridge-Pissing Family. For the details of my first encounter with them, please see post “Why People Are Gross (Part 64)”. Anyhow, I ran into them again today when I was walking my dog around the lake. This time the little Bridge-Pissing Kid runs at my [...]
