Boy, what a busy month its been. Between working nearly everyday, apartment hunting, watching the Olympics, and neglecting this blog, I've barely had time to think.
As a person who is athletically retarded, and knows virtually nothing about sports (slam dunk the football and you get a home run, right?) I really love watching the Olympics. I've found that there is a strange vibe to these winter Olympics, and I think we can all admit that things haven't gone as smoothly as we would hope. At this point I'm surprised the Olympic slogan isn't "Vancouver: A Series of Unfortunate Events".
This is a little off topic but why are McDonalds the official restaurant of the Olympics? I mean, hamburgers and fries hardly promote athleticism. Isn't it more suiting if McDonalds were the official restaurant for 'obesity' or 'regret'? Actually, can we even call McDonalds a restaurant? Aren't restaurants supposed to sell things that qualify as food? If you said you took your girlfriend out to a restaurant, I would imagine a place filled with well dressed patrons ordering expensive meals off a leather bound menu and then sipping wine by candlelight. I don't imagine people in sweatpants and crocs ordering off a dollar menu that is bolted to the wall, and then trying to carry a handful of ketchup cups through a crowd of screaming children.
If McDonalds is a restaurant, then I'm an Olympian.

I don't get the McDonald's thing either, but I do love some of the banners they have, featuring Olympians holding burgers or whatever like they're gold medals. One of them (I don't recognize the name) just has this absolutely hilarious expression on her face. I just wonder if that was the closest thing to an "Mmmm, this bruger looks delicious and I can't wait to eat it" look they could get out of her. She's sort of smiling, but not quite, with a definite hint of distaste on her face. I love it. It's awesome, because seriously, I really don't think that world-class, Olympic athletes do a lot of eating at McDonald's of all places. It really is incongruous.
Crap. "Bruger." Grr.
Brugers are delicious as well, but not as nutritious.
Olympians holding burgers is a truly weird sight. It's as weird as McDonalds customers holding weights or running.
