Mud Doesn't Make Good Skiing

Chances are, you all probably know what's going on in the Olympic world as much, if not better than, as I do. I have been working a lot. I worked 6 days straight, all early shifts, mostly starting at 4 AM. I can't wait to be done with that aspect of this experience.

All these event cancellations have probably been a network nightmare, trying to schedule time to air their new time.

The death of the Gorgain Luger was felt all around the world, but it's interesting to be close to the drama. There was a distinct shadow cast over the festivities, but things are back on track (No pun intended). I drive past the sliding center everyday. I guess people aren't happy about the changes made in the track. But then again, other people wouldn't be happy if there weren't any changes made in the track. I am looking forward to witnessing the action first hand on the 27th with the finals bobsledding.The concerts have been fantastic, mostly due to the price admission, FREE. I was excited to see Bedouin Soundclash, but was more impressed by Matisyahu, an Orthodox Jew, who sports ringlets, tassels, and probably a yamaka under his ball cap. He sings a Reggae/Hip Hop style that was pleasing to the ears. I look forward to discovering more new artists up here. There are concert sets every night for the next few weeks.

The living conditions aren't improving, but they're not getting worse. I think we've all grown used to it, which means we're probably getting more barbaric, like prisoners. Who knows, when I get out of here, I may just do a criminal act to go back. After all, we do get 3 meals a day. It's not really all that bad, other than the bathrooms. Just this morning there was an unidentifiable bodily fluid all over one of the bathroom floors. I feel bad for the janitors. We can use another bathroom, they have to clean it up.

When this is all said and done, I will have a lot of stories to tell and a lot to laugh about. I still haven't handed out any demo videos and resumes to media people. They're mostly from another country, or really busy, and I don't have as much guts as I thought I would.

Keep watching them Olympics and USA all the way!
