… For a while there, I was worried; but it’s nothing major. I had this feeling that my home phone was giving me problems like it did last year. I was afraid that if Verizon came back they would need to come back into my apartment to fix it which would cost me.
I could see on my modem that it would lose and gain connection to the DSL. I picked up my phone and discovered there was no static like last time so I was even more afraid since that was the problem last time.
As a last ditch effort, I decided to leave the modem on to see what would happen. Sure enough it seemed to fix itself. Since then, the modem connection hasn’t always been perfect, but I think it is the problem.
Just how much longer I can keep going like this, I don’t know.
… The Winter Olympics began with tragedy before the opening ceremonies. Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died during a training run. The accident was horrific.
To say the games have not gone according to plan is an understatement. The opening ceremonies had a malfunction with the torch lighting.
In fact, I don’t think there was much build up for these games; as almost they just showed up one day. Unfortunately it took a tragedy to get my attention.
… I’ve seen five of the 10, yes 10, movies nominated for best picture by the Academy Awards. The last movie I saw was Avatar.
Visually, it’s stunning especially in IMAX 3D. It’s a wonderful story too. But if you were to ask me to say a line from that movie, I couldn’t. So of the five movies I’ve seen – The Blind Side, District 9, Inglourious Basterds and Up in the Air – I would consider it worthy of the nomination. Is it better than those four other movies? No. Can I pick my favorite one of the group, probably not. So this should be a close race.
