I've also been hearing about protests and altercations involving the Olympic Torch run. You know what I have to say to the protesters? You had your fucking chance when China bid for the Olympics. I sympathize with their cause, I do, but that is not my problem. Protesting in this way and threatening boycotting the games is doing nothing but hurting the atheletes who have trained almost their entire lives! These are the people who you are affecting with these protests. Think of the people this time around who are participating in the Torch run. Can you imagine carrying the torch and having a mob of people swarm you? And not because of something you did, because the host country has questionable policies. What did that poor runner do to them? Nothing! It really pisses me off to see all this coming down on the atheletes. If you want to protest, protest the corporate sponsors of the games. Boycott Coke, boycott GE, boycott Johnson&Johnson, boycott Adidas, boycott Mcdonalds, boycott Visa, boycott Samsung, boycott Volkswagon. If the governments are getting no action with this issue, maybe the corporations can provide some muscle. But attacking the atheletes? Threatening boycotts? 100 days before the games start? Come on people, that is not the way to do this.

Is it so wrong that I don't really want a digital camera? I want one that has actual film in it. Digital cameras are totally a symptom of our instant gratification society. Waiting to get the film developed? I love getting film developed. Getting to see what you took pictures of, its like reliving the experiences. When I was putting my photos into albums I was a little shocked to see how little photos I have printed from digital cameras. I know there are pictures floating around (I know Heather and Charlene and Nicole have discs if I really wanted them) but I miss film. There is a point to this, really. I decided today that I want to document this summer more than just in my head. I am really hoping for a good summer, I think its going to be a good experience, and I want more than just memories. Wow, how schmaltzy, ech. And a little bit redundant.

Also? OMG I want these shot glasses!!
