So, I've been watching the Olympics this year, something that has pretty much NEVER been done in my family; we usually only see the figure skating, and only parts of it.
All this means that it's the first year I saw the Opening Ceremonies (!!) and thus I have some observations and questions:
1. What is going on with Nordic Combined? Who thought to put those two separate events together? Unlike biathlon, which I have been told is probably based on some hunting thing, Nordic Combined would have very little basis in reality. So where did it come from?
2. I have successfully identified them using the score from three different movies thus far, which makes me really proud, and also makes me slightly nerdy, but whatever. (For interested parties, the scores were those of Coraline, Pirates of the Carribbean, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.)
3. SHAUN WHITE.
That's all for now folks!
(oh! wait! I almost forgot: finished The Power of Three by Diana Wynne Jones, who I LOVE as an author, and you should definitely check out, and The Lightening Thief, the first in the Percy Jackson trilogy! So, two books for this week: check!)
