short, but feisty ramblings

Today's post will be necessarily short and brutal as I am in a tight deadline due to having a paper due in two days in my PhD program (see yesterday's post about procrastination). So as I am writing, I am furiously wracking my mind for something to write about that is short, intriguing, and easy to write.  There are many current events that come to mind, but none that I truly wish to put words to - except maybe the Olympics.

How fascinating that we all become experts so quickly for so short a time?  Seriously, gymnasts should know that if they take a step, do it forward or back, not to the side - bigger deductions to the side, doncha know? And then the judo guy who is retroactively disqualified and evicted from athlete row for testing positive for a derivative of marijuana - that apparently was unknowingly in something he ate.  Well, you might have heard more about it had he medaled, but he did not - obviously because of the pot - right?

What else comes to mind recently? Oh yeah - the high price of airline tickets? seriously?? I can usually fly from San Jose to Dallas for around $350.  lowest price currently - for even two months away, nothing less than $530.  yeah, I wish it was dyslexia - but no, that's the price. no holiday.  just oil.  Somehow, I see that San Jose house getting smaller and smaller...

I am headed back to writing - good googli moo.
