Dear So and So

[Catrin]

Yayyyyy CrazyCanuck, sounds like you had a great time and incredible job!

[Crankin]

Great job, CC.

[Owlie]

Good job, CC!

Dear self:
No, you probably shouldn't look at applying to grad schools in Boston. As much as you liked the city, one of the two schools in the area with your program is high-stress. Also, even on a generous stipend, you'll be living in an envelope next to campus. You can put some money away and go visit instead.

Woot CC! Way to go - congratulations marathoner!

Dear Universe,

thank you. Really.

Dear self,

kindly explain to me why is it that the very idea of telling your parents about something that isn't work causes you so much anxiety, it feels like a hole has been burned through your stomach accompanied by hours of thundering heartbeat. In case you haven't realized, normal people are able to talk to their parents about something else other than school or work. Really. Honestly.

Dear US Olympic Committee:

Don't you have anything better to do than harass knitters who are trying to enjoy the O------- by making their own contest out of it? Really? And you couldn't even have a lawyer sign the letter - had to be your summer intern?

Guess what I won't be watching/supporting/etc. this year. IMO a colossal example of legal stupidity.

Seriously? They went after the Ravelympics? On the grounds that it "cheapens" the real Olympics? I'm pretty sure that none of the athletes care. What really cheapens the Olympics is the huge corporate sponsorship, the doping, and IMHO, the jingoistic flag-waving and whining that goes on in the coverage.

Are they serious? Because they don't have real problems to deal with? Sheesh.

So is the Olympic Committee going to go after the PNW next? How about renaming a mountain range and a national park.
