I am up watching the Olympics. Actually, more specifically, I am watching what Channel Nine will allow me to watch; mostly swimming and equestrian! It is more like watching the Toddlers and Tiaras show about toddlers doing beauty pageants, lots of tantrums and spitting of the dummy (pacifier). I am not sure why we feel the need to initially pick on the athletes look or body shape and then venerate them. It is the Olympics, people! If they weren't world class athletes, they wouldn't have qualified! I generally love watching but I miss having cable, where I can actually watch some of the lesser televised sports, like water polo. It saddens me that we watch some sports almost exclusively, to the extent that I have seen the same losing 4 X 100 Freestyle race about sixteen times, but they haven't managed to show any soccer, or water polo or..... Anyway, you can get the frustration.
I am in a holding pattern at the moment, waiting for things to happen around me and unable to do anything to speed it up or affect the future at all. I think some of it is that I am just tired. Outreach, week at work and then Outreach again is a bit crippling but at least it will be all over for the year!
