- Short Track Bliss and a new toy - Saturday, October 23, 2004 Sooo.... How 'bout them short trackers? Holy Crap! It's been the craziest weekend ever, phone is ringing off the hook with friends joining in the victory dance for Apolo's gold x 2! Of course, this would be the weekend that I've had a ton to do, so I haven't been able to get to the lap top that much. Therefore, when getting calls like, "Girl, did you hear? Apolo got 2 golds!", I nearly fell from my chair. phone rings again. "OMG! Rusty got bronze!" WHA? Really? phone rings yet again. "Did you get the email? Guess what? Bridie set a new American record in the 1500! Allison placed 6th and made it to her final!" This is half the fun of short track. Not only being happy for your team doing well, but being able to get on my horn and shout it to the roof tops to your fellow ST freaks, lol. I've never received so much good news in 2 nights ever! I'm so proud of our short track team, the World Cup team as well as our US team competiting in Calgary. Bridie, Mike, and Cherise have been doing so well, I wish there was a way to be present at two competitions at once! We got the chance to know Cherise a little better recently, and she's an amazing chick. She's the sweetest thing, especially to those that she's met for the first time, and truly humble and appreciative of the fans that follow her sport. Allison - girl, you're kickin' some major ass. After all that she's gone through in the month before the China cups, it's even more incredible. Tough, that's the word that comes to mind. Speaking of tough, psh - Bridie, don't get me started! Her first competitions since her knee surgery, and she goes and places 1st overall AND sets a record. In the words of AAO - "No words..." So, yeah, I may be a TAD pumped for Madison. ;) Well, the new toy is here. *looks shocked* NO! Not THAT kind of toy...I just jumped in and purchased a new cell phone. I've been waiting 56,000 years for a phone like this - it does everything but cook your meals. Motorola V220 I will finally be able to access the net from my lap top anywhere, with the handy USB data port. When I was picking it out, I asked the sales associate that all I wanted was something with a data port - turns out this sucker has a camera with a 4X zoom. Whoa. You mean this thing has a 'sneaky cam'? Hmmm.... It's also nice to be able to check my email from anywhere. Shows you how long I've been in the ice age, these phones blow my mind! Forever, I've had the bottom of the line, free Nokia that I got when I turned my phone on 2 years ago. You know those phones that proceed to dial every person in your addy book, leave a message of "pffhhhhh, foefhhhhhopppowoihhhh.." and all the while you don't have a frickin' clue. UGH! My phone was so old, it didn't even have a key lock. Another fun added bonus is that I went from AT&T to Cingular (which will soon be bought out by AT&T), and I knew what that meant. I can prank call a certain Visalian, who is also a Cingular customer, all damn day and it doesn't touch my minutes. Muahahaha. Oh.
