Olympics time

I have Olympic fever. I'm watching weightlifting right now. This little guy from Turkey just got the gold in the 56kg group. These guys were so tiny and lifting nearly 3 times their weight!! The Turkish guy who won made tons of funny faces and noises. I think that's what I'd be like too. I've decided this is a fun sport to watch. Now badminton is on.

I went to Sam's second wedding reception yesterday. It was weird to see her whole family and be on the other side of the country. It didn't feel like I was far from home. Trippy. I snacked heavily for a solid four hours on croissants, very filling chocolate chip cookies and grahm crackers.

I'm obsessed with the little countries. You can go to www.nbcolympics.com and look up every country participating. It gives you a world map and you roll your mouse of all the coutries. I found a country named Vanuatu and clicked on it for details. Under "Olympic Tradition" it says in their Olympic debut in 1988, their boxer ate a large breakfast and was disqulified at the weigh-in. Vanuatu has never won a medal. Poor Vanuatu.

Ok, I wasn't a fan of the badminton. You can't really see the birdie and the plays don't last very long. It's been an hour since I started writing this entry because I keep looking things up on the Olympics website. I just have to be careful not to look at any of the gymnastics results.

Another computer issue:

For some reason, when I write in Word, my i's get an accent on them when they come after an f. I'm hoping the employers that I've sent my resumes to don't notice it. I went to Format->Style and under the part that says "description", it says the font, size a few other things and then something called Widow/Orphan control. WEIRD. I just checked font and there's nothing unusual. It's a mystery.
