Just Throw a Brick

All right people. I'm about to go into a sports rant. I FREAKING LOVE THE OLYMPICS!!! That is all. Just kidding. Can I just say, I loved actually understanding what was happening in the Opening Ceremony, and understanding the history and the music! Don't get me wrong, I love learning about other cultures, and the Olympics are a great place to do it, but I really enjoyed understanding everything that was happening...also that all the music was in English. England is such a cool place with centuries of amazing history, and I think they did a good job of portraying that in the opening sequences with the smokestacks and such. They kept it lighthearted and fun, at the same time showing the seriousness of the Olympics and the responsibility that their city/country has to the world for the next couple of weeks. Well done, London!  They say a picture is worth a thousand words...so I added a bunch of pictures. Because words cannot explain the love I have for the Olympics

Readers! How's it going! Sorry it's been awhile, just been working a lot and enjoying my summer. Speaking of working, it was a good week of random facts. Did you know Kool-Aid was invented in 1926?

Oh, and it was also a week of fixing heinous typos. My favorite? Having to fix someone's misspell of "Paul Bunyan" as "Paul Bunion". Seriously, coworkers? Paul Bunion? Makes him sound more like a geriatric gimp than an ax-wielding giant. But hey, whatever man.  Hm. Other things that aren't about work...Well, one of my new favorite shows is Leverage (I'm still only on the first season, but it's way good). TNT, people. Seriously in love with this show right now. What else...Well, since all of my other roommates are dating someone rig
