My So Called Life

It will be sad when the Olympics are over

/ Shane / 4 Comments

I can’t say enough about how awesome it is that CNBC is showing curling every day.  I love curling.

But more importantly, holy crap, have you seen snowboard cross?  That’s my new favorite event, replacing short track speed skating.  I wish that was on all day.

I know everybody likes figure skating, but I don’t.  And I hate how I can’t watch any olympics without seeing it.  If everybody is so keen on the figure skating, the I wish they would put that on one channel and everything else on a different channel so I could watch that other channel.

This works for Netscape too.  If you type “about:config” in the address bar, it will open up a page that contains every option that is set for your browser.  If you double click on any of the lines you can edit the value.  This is particularly useful to edit options that you can’t get to any other way, but good luck finding them in the huge list.  Good to know though.

Job interview

A company is actually flying me to Chicago for a job interview!  I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but it could be really good.

While I’m doing that, why don’t you entertain yourself with some interesting facts about Chuck Norris.

Time to go watch Lost!

Olympics

What is it about the Olympics man?  I love ‘um!

I can watch the stupidest events for hours and hours cheering on people from countries I’ve never even heard of before.  Nothing is boring.

P.S. I’m glad that German guy won the ski jump/cross country skiing thing, even if that Finland guy had a cool name.  Hannu Manninen.  Say it with me, Hannu Manninen.

Happy 50th!

Happy 50th birthday to my mom today!  Man, that’s OLD! 😛

Okay, I haven’t been blogging much lately, mostly because I’m lazy.  Also I’ve been gone a lot.  I’m still waiting for all that free time that’s supposed to materialize now that I’ve graduated from school.

Okay, so what happened lately.  Vermont is a cold awful hell hole and I can’t believe that people actually live there.  But we did go to the Ben and Jerry’s factory, so there was that.  There was an evening of rum punch and also there’s a ski resort close by named Smuggler’s Notch.  How can that not sound dirty?

I started working on my resume and I’m going to start looking for jobs soon.  Maybe nothing will come of it, we’ll see.  There’s very little chance I could get a job as good as the one that I have, unfortunately.  Philly’s cool and all, but I want to be back in the midwest where all the action is! 😛

Okay, this is kind of random, but a group of guys that I used to work with started a big wheel biker gang.

I think that’s all there is.  I thought I was going to have a lot more to say when I sat down to write this, but maybe not.
