slept in, read My Life Is Average laughing while eating the orange rolls gramma sent me home with yesterday, even packed a pb&j for the comic shop today. Oh and I work at a comic shop. I love my life

Olympics thoughts

ya, that torch didnt work. And the thing didn't get started till 9 on the networks even though they were done by nine in Vancouver which is in this timezone, so Vancouver, you cheated. I had to laugh at how they introduced all the native canadians and then had them dance and get completely no coverage while the athletes walked in for 45 minutes. They must have been really tired.. Isnt that kindof a slap in their face? I suppose our american networks dictated what was shown to us.. Also, while I kinda dug the costumes the emo/urban tapdancers had.. it still seemed weird. I wasnt sure if it was a genuine embrace of the urban culture of younger people my age.. or just reaching. Same with the overweight spoken word guy. Why does spoken word stuff always come across as pretentious and arrogant? It was so off-putting, despite the power of his words. And it was worse cuz he was a pretty heavy guy. Overall, the transitions didnt seem so planned out and intentional.. the night viewed as a narrative was patchy and jarring. I wish Cirque Du Soleil had been involved, they're based out of Canada and would have made the show that much cooler. Looking at the schedule of events, each award ceremony gets pretty awesome performace acts. What do you bet none of them get airtime?

Overall, sucks about the torch, still cool to watch, but not as cool as 08. That opening ceremony would be tough to top for sure. Made up for it all by comin home an listening to the music John Williams did for the salt lake city games... that made me feel better.

That had been in the back of my mind as something I was excited about, tellin people about.. ready to genuinely experience and take to heart and it didnt really do much to me. No crazy moments of wonder like the summer games. I kinda live my life from moment to moment like that.. I dont know whats next on my list now

Resurrecting the blog, while workin at the comic shop

why, Dunc does it so I can too. Dont look at me that way

Im totally wearing the Orange Lantern Corp ring I got monday. So nerdy

Ive decided that it feels pretty good to break out the old, enough that it feels new again. Workin at Pegasus has been a kick cuz Ive broken out a ton of old cds to play there. I was listening to Cake on Monday. Our Lady Peace this afternoon so far. Stuff I haven't heard since 03 or so when I worked at Great Harvest.

Great Harvest, grr. It was weird- ArtWalk last Friday, totally almost ran into my old boss there. We did not leave friends, I haven't seen him since. But I saw him through the shelves at Dudleys Books and kinda paniced. I ducked down and waited till he left. Then he camped out by the door and I was stuck there for a while until he left. The music was good though, a trio of two members and a bass singing pirate themed songs. I guess I just didn't feel like making the night more awkward?

Would have been nice to fix that relationship. I have alot of stuff like that in my life, I think.

There are currently no cute girls in the shop. Why dont comics attract them? Although the bank teller girl I keep seeing at Chase is amazing. She as a slightly crooked nose. I cant think of good things to say when I deposit checks.. I hope bein friendly at least gets me noticed.

Wish there were more people here, I think the relational gauge on my life is permanently set on lonely as hell. I just don't really ever go out and meet people, bars seem like the wrong place to start, and I'm busy between two jobs otherwise. You'd think a church as big as Westside would be a nice place to try, but I'm always behind the scenes running tech when people are actually there.

*shrugs* I guess I'll work something out sometime.
