quandary.

this week's recap.

fever monday and tuesday. still went to work. upset stomach tuesday night and wednesday morning. since i've had this job, i've only missed work once because of sickness. that's once in 2 years. and when i do go to work sick, i don't ask to leave early.

but here is what annoys me.

"are you ok?" - boss
"well. i think i have a fever. i did last night." - me
"yeah. haha. me too." - boss

why. ask.

moving.

on.

wednesday! live music! crystal thomas!

because of staying out late and not getting much sleep, i had one of my incredible dreams.

first, i was trying to catch lightning bugs in a jar. i've never even done that in real life. one of them stung my eyelid. it got really swollen. and i can feel my dreams so you can imagine how unpleasant that was.

then,

i was a chef on hell's kitchen!

i think i've seen that show 10 times total. in all of its seasons. don't know why i was dreaming about it.

we were making fried toast. which, i know, sounds like french toast. except it was toast covered in batter. i would imagine it tastes like sawdust. anyway. i burned it.

then gordon made me take a walk by myself late at night, but told me not to worry...nobody gets raped in london.

~ the end ~

today is thursday. i'm going to watch the olympics. i've watched it every night except last night. i'm sad i missed shaun white. i hope he didn't break his neck or anything. i only watch it until 10pm, my bedtime, but i love the olympics.

what i do not love is "canada." let's count the ways they have failed.

torch lighting. there was supposed to be 4 shoots or whatever, and only 3 popped up. and it took them 7 years to light it. then they had a second torch...what? there's only ONE olympic torch, "canada." what are you even going to do with the little one that broke? nobody wants that. FAIL.

the speed skating track. they had to spend an hour or so fixing it one night, because it was all choppy and melty. FAIL.

the lack of snow. it's like...not even winter in "vancouver" right now. i could have a better winter olympics in my backyard. i just don't feel like it. FAIL.

and they had to change the starting gates at the luge track because it was too fast and dangerous. i'm not going to make a joke about that.

now here's this great quote from the federalist papers, just because:

"Tyranny has perhaps oftener grown out of the assumptions of power called for, on pressing exigencies, by a defective constitution, than out of the full exercise of the largest constitutional authorities."
