When I was little, I absolutely loathed Top Gear.
I distinctly remember, back when one had to check TV listings in newspapers, that there would be a day every single week where one of the channels would insist on doing a Top Gear marathon.
It was torturous. Just hearing that jingle in the beginning would fill me with a mixture of rage and coma-inducing boredom.
Which is why, when Bro Bro suggested I give it another go, I thought that he might finally be losing his $#!+.
The other day, a few of the Glee peeps did a little rapid-fire quiz type thingie on YouTube and, one of the questions was:
Easter Candy or Halloween Candy?
Today, I gave in and read my first proper article about Sochi.
Usually, I tune out all the chatter until after it's all over and, there's a line in Memoirs of a Geisha that sums up my reason much more concisely and profoundly than I ever could. It goes -
“I don't think any of us can speak frankly about pain until we are no longer enduring it.”
For Olympic Host Countries it's most likely equal parts pain and sheer terror, though - can you imagine the logistics of all the forced teamwork it takes to pull off something on this scale?
I'm attempting to marshal my thoughts and type something coherent but, it seems that that's not going to happen because the latest episode of Sherlock was just on and I'm just the tiniest bit delirious.
...my diligence and will to blog died.
I kid. Of course ; )
And, I come to you with four new blogs whose authors would never dream of subjecting you to the lengthy bouts of radio silence you encounter here - if I had a cone of shame, I'd be wearing it right now.
Yesterday was Mom's *ahem* 22nd birthday and, in keeping with family tradition, we celebrated with dim sum : )
Can it be that three whole years have gone by since my very first post?
Lots and lots has happened since those tentative initial days and now it seems that the clever North Wind has brought along another adventure : )
