Well, I don’t have a cat, so can’t use that excuse. But there’s one for you, Brandy.
Last night, I found out the Korean who won the gold medal the other night said Apolo Anton Ohno didn’t deserve to be on the podium! He said Ohno was the one causing all the problems on the ice! Them’s fightin’ words, mister! Hello? We could see the film footage, you idiot! Your little cohorts knocked themselves out of medal contention. And now I wish you’d tripped up too! Okay, I see now he was talking about the semi-final rounds but still. The Koreans were just as bad as they claim Ohno was.
Tonight, we have a new episode of Burn Notice which I’ll be recording because, yes, it’s still all about the Olympics. Tonight we have the finals of the men’s figure skating, women’s snowboarding (half pipe, I believe), women’s speed skating, and skiing.
Did more revising last night.
Reading: Finished up Prime Time which I liked a lot. I’ll be getting the other books in the series. Next up…. I haven’t decided yet.
And last night’s Olympics report…. Spoilers Ahead!
It was a good day for the U.S. yesterday. In women’s downhill skiing, Lindsay Vonn and Julia Mancuso won gold and silver respectively. In men’s 1000m speed skating, Shani Davis won gold and Chad Hedrick won bronze. And in men’s snowboarding half pipe, Shaun White blew the competition out of the water (off the snow?) to win the gold. Scott Lago won the bronze. WTG, USA!!!
Last week, Dru wanted to know if there were any tacky tourist traps in the New York City area. NYC is chockful of them! In fact, there are so many I had a hard time choosing just a few!
Our first stop today is The City Reliquary. It’s a big museum crammed into a tiny little storefront in Brooklyn.
For lunch, we’ll be eating at The Jekyll & Hyde Club which according to our friends at Roadside America is like eating inside the Disney Haunted Mansion.
After lunch you can visit Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum or wander around the Big Apple and discover the many other wonderful sites to be seen.
Thank you for taking today’s Tacky Tuesday Tour!
Tonight on TV, we have Ruby and the Rockits (always good for a giggle), Warehouse 13 (for a touch of steampunk) and Surviving Disaster (where former Navy SEAL Cade Courtley will teach us how to survive a raging inferno in an office building). RESEARCH!!!!
Didn’t do much steampunk research yesterday, but the zombie invasion is apparently still on the table. I can’t seem to scrub the idea from my brain. *g*
Reading: I started reading Twanged by Carol Higgins Clark last night, but I went to the library today, so I’m going to save it for when I’m finished with the library books.
The last remaining survivor of the Titanic passed away early yesterday morning in her sleep. Millvina Dean was only two months old when the Titanic sank. She died at age 97. To her and all the other passengers of that grand old (but not nearly as unsinkable as originally thought) ship, may you all rest in peace.
And my thoughts and prayers go out to the passengers of missing Air France flight AF447 and their families.
My hands are driving me insane. I think I’m finally going to have to break down and spend as little time on the computer as possible for awhile. So, I’ll be reading your blogs, friends, but may not be commenting.
The only thing on tonight is Life After People. I may just record that, though. We’ll see.
Reading: Finished up Never Say Sty and now I’m reading 4 Bodies and a Funeral by Stephanie Bond. This is the fourth (hence the 4 in the title *g*) book in the Body Movers series. This time around, our heroine Carlotta Wren ends up in the midst of the beginning of a serial killer’s rampage.
I just added up the number of books I read in May and it was the same exact number as Dru! How’s that for bizarre? I read 13 myteries, 6 fantasies, 4 childen’s/YA, and one action/adventure.
Hello? We could see the film footage, you idiot! Your little cohorts knocked themselves out of medal contention. And now I wish you’d tripped up too! Okay, I see now he was talking about the semi-final rounds but still. The Koreans were just as bad as they claim Ohno was.
