Making It Up As I Go Along #404

Achoo!
Achoo
So typical
It isn’t believed

The modified choo
Shooting moisture towards a friend
face sprayed laughter

Mouse squeaks
Repeated time and time again
Want to shake them

Violent bark
Sudden and loud
Angry dog behind chain link fence

Nose coughs
Bless you?
Or, maybe not?

Food shooter
Comes from the nose
Yet empties the mouth

Everyone does it
No two are exactly the same
A view to the world of the sneeze.

MONDAY...
— I’m useless luck to the Olympics. Able to watch downhill skiing... they don’t do so well. Able to watch Wotherspoon’s last skate... not so good. Don’t watch the snow boarding... silver medal. The ultimate test is if I watch Canada vs. Norway in hockey and the Canadians lose.

TUESDAY...
— Nice seeing Maelle Ricker win gold in snow boarding. She seems to be one you could point to and say they’re really in it for the love of the game. She seems to genuinely just think it’s all a really fun experience and seems quite modest about it all.

WEDNESDAY...
— The watch is now on. As I sit in the seat, at work, of someone who just got diagnosed with strep throat earlier the same day. Better not get anything!
— See the continued stupidity on Facebook. Someone gets a new job in a fairly secure position where you’d want to be careful who you tell what to... and they post a description of it all on their facebook status update. In my mind, that celebration of what they got should be enough to take it away from them... shows someone who obviously isn’t ready for major responsibility.
— Quiet night at work with just Mark and me in AFIS.

THURSDAY...
— Pizza night at work... Louis’ is always good. Nice to see another gold for Canada. I really enjoy the long track speed skating. Likely my favourite Olympic sport to watch. Although I must say, the HD TV adds a lot to any sport outside in the snow (skiing, snow boarding, moguls)... it’s all pretty amazing in HD.

FRIDAY...
— Feel bad for Melissa Hollingsworth. Not getting a medal when she’s been so good this year... you could feel the disappointment. Montgomery is the first Canadian to get a medal that I didn’t feel warm and fuzzy over. I’m glad he won and all but the other Canadian winners all seemed humbled by it. He came off a bit more like one of the dudes that do the beer commercials. I did like his walk through Whistler though... really connected with the people there. (Edit: by Sunday, I’m sort of getting in to Montgomery. Not my ideal guy but there is something fun about him for sure).
— Tiger Woods press conference... without the press. Ugh. If he wants privacy, don’t get on TV to say it. If he wants to apologize for his actions, don’t scold the media for going after his family... and, for the love of God, there was no good reason to drag his mother out and have her sit, uncomfortably, six feet in front of him so she could give her boy a hug when he finished. Plus, most unneeded bit of talk from Tiger... “my wife should get no blame”. Thanks for that genius. So Tiger denies that Elin hit him... there was no violence at all... fact is, everyone I’ve spoken to has said “if she did hit him, good for her”.

SATURDAY...
— Olympics... bad day for Canada. Nothing terribly good happens. Losing when they should be winning or crashing or anything like that. Best thing I saw was men’s curling won again.
— A few of us at Phil’s for the hot tub. Then off to watch UFC at the bar. Relaxing night. Hot tubs are needed everywhere.
