Maybe Mordor is Really in Georgia

On my way to work today, I saw a hobbit. I almost crashed into the car in front of me. There he was in full hobbit regalia, complete with a walking stick (or was it an umbrella?). It definitely provided a boost to my rather blah kind of Monday, that's for sure. I just wish I had a camera and the ability to drive and take pictures at the same time.

I also was screeched at by a squirrel. Mondays are weird.

Ok, kiddies, I am now in possession of a rutabaga (Task #2) . It looks nothing like the beautiful picture they show on Google images. Shall we do a little compare and contrast?

Publix had the blandest rutabagas on the planet, I do believe. But a rutabaga's a rutabaga.
Plans to cook this thing are underway. Wednesday or Friday are the biggest possibilities as of right now. Any recipe ideas?

In Olympic news: Ice dance free skate is on right now. The Canadians, Virtue and Moyer, just skated and I almost cried it was so beautiful. What was your favorite performance over the three ice dancing nights? Mine is the Canadians in the white costumes and the Americans who danced to a Phantom of the Opera medley (Can't get enough Andrew Lloyd Webber).
Also, I've been cyber-stalking my long-time Olympian crush Shaun White a bit, and I came across this pretty stinkin' funny video that is part of his campaign back in the day for HP.

Study for a test? Who does that?

For Valentine's Day, a very dear (and funny) friend sent me the perfect Valentine's day present.


His name is Mr. Right When You Need Him. He is handsome, charming, cardboard, and stands about three inches tall. Perfect.

Meant to be.


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

I'm studying for my first test of the semester and came across that quote in the midst of my notes. Classic.

So... Team USA won some major gold medalage yesterday. Shaun White, Lindsay Vonn, Shani Davis, and Apollo Ohno represented and kicked some major rear end. Congratulations to them! Men's figure skating long programs are tonight. My prediction: Evan Lysencheck for the gold, the Russian guy (can't spell his name) for the silver, and the Japenese guy with cool hair for the bronze. However, a certain flamboyant personality by the name of Mr. Johnny Weir might bring his A-game and knock someone off the podium. Who knows?

Still haven't bought a rutabaga yet. That's a goal this weekend. First, I must survive a test. Grad level tests are the equivalent of semester exam in undergrad. I can feel the burnout coming soon.

Welcome, burnout. Glad you're here, but you're late.

Question of the day: What's your favorite WInter Olympic sport?
