February is almost over!

Seriously, when did that happen? Not that I don't want March to get here, au contraire. It's just flying by, it seems. Anyway, winter going by quickly is a good thing in my books. No really big storms so far either, though apparently Saturday will be terrible. Not going anywhere here, so no worries.

Tomorrow's the Gold medal game for Curling, the Minister of Education here said today that the schools will close after lunch so kids can watch the game, heh. It's that big of a deal here, the first Newfoundlander to get a shot at a Gold medal and all. I still have to work, but I'm sure our little tv in the basement will be on so we can check in on the score from time to time.

Off to bed for me, it's getting late and I really wanna get some reading in before going to sleep. American Gods is awesome. :D

Gushue is Golden!

Canada wins Gold in Curling! Our first ever, actually, though a lot of people associate the sport with us. What's more important is that the team representing Canada is from Newfoundland and Labrador, our first ever Olympic medal and it's Gold. :D It was a really emotional moment, the team skip's mother has been undergoing chemo treatments and couldn't attend the games in Italy. He called her almost right away on his cell, though he couldn't get an answer, so he turned to the camera and said "Answer the phone mom!" CBC had them miked for the whole game, which was nice. :) But yes, he was pretty much in tears over the whole thing, it was such an amazing moment.

The Minister of Education here closed the schools this afternoon, and the boss told us this morning that he was closing the office so we could watch the game. Then we went to his house and did just that, had a few drinks and snacks. Good times! And yay for Team Canada / Newfoundland and Labrador! ^_^
