olympic spirit

status check - lovely
background ambiance - san diego radio

friday the thirteenth - traditionally my lucky day. as i have millions of stories to write today, i hope the luck of the thirteeth helps me out.

the light at the end of the print-lined tunnel? the olympics kick off tonight with the opening ceremonies.

while i'm not generally much for drinking games these days (unless it's the fabulous game called "let's do shots with the musician"), the parade of nations drinking game holds a special place in my heart. the rules are simple and unforgiving. drink each time a new national flag enters the stadium.

the salt lake city ceremony prompted the rally cry of "mormons RULE!" (this came to us around the time germany entered) who knows what athens will have in store ... 202 nations participating and it's sure to cause debauchery.

bring on that torch, dammit!
