I love everything about the world today.
Okay, it's been a good day. Not "hey, here's twice as much iced cap as you asked for" good, but still pretty damn skippy.
First of all, our crazy militant servers can't block gmail's new integrated chat function, which means I get to spend the day nattering with NJ again (yay!) and Jenn From IT and I don't have to go through the extra-exhausting effort of emailing each other all day. (How sad are we? Her office is about a dozen steps away from my desk and yet, we instant message each other. Like, calling each other is too hard on our mutual geek cred.) So far today, NJ and I have codified the rules of being a Cranky Girl (must "heart" snowboarders, hate Dick Button, Root for Turkish Figure Skaters, and Hate The Name "Kimmie" Except When Referring to Parakeets) and theorized on the appropriate sports in which parakeets will compete in the Olympics.
Also, my mom and I have discussed tiny shrunken, felted sheep. Because they were left out in the rain, you see. So they all matted up then they shrunk and you won't even know they are there unless you sit very quietly and listen for their very tiny "baaaa"ing.
But the best reason of all that I love the world today? You know about the whole speedskating controversy, right? With Chad Hendrick being a dick, basically, about Shani Davis not wanting to compete in an event he never competes in anyway just so Mr. Texas can get his five gold medals? Not that I have an opinion or anything . . . Anyway--the important part, the beautiful part of all of this is that, apparently, at the post-race press conference after Davis and Hendrick won silver and bronze respectively in the 1500 meters, the Dutch curling team showed up to heckle Hendrick.
I'm sorry. I don't think you have totally gotten all that's implied in that statement. I'll repeat.
The Dutch Olympic Curling Team crashed a press conference to heckle Chad Hendrick.
You know what, I have a new goal in life. Before I die, I will find myself in a situation where Dutch curlers show up to mock my rivals.

I must say, thank goodness for the Italian guy in the center of the podium...seriously someone had to be there to separate the two high school girls. I must tell North that I disagree with her putting it all on Chad, Shani is no prince in this scenario.
I say let's just all root for Turkish Figure Skaters and parakeet bobsled teams.
And North if you want curlers heckling you why didn't you say so...the world's is being held the first week of April in Lowell, Massachusetts - ROAD TRIP?
