Well, Snorino's Over

Feh.

I watched so much of the Olympics, and I gotta tell ya I'm BORED. It just didn't get me this year. Even the aerials which Dexter and I love so much.

As for the classic tales of rhinestone abuse, this games's winner is Galit Chait, the ice dancer. Go back and look at the free dance tape, kiddies: she had blue rhinestones GLUED TO HER FOREHEAD. I looked and said, "Hmmm...could those be sparkling measles? Exotic freckles? NOOOO...OH MY GOD." She puts ballroom dancers to shame. First rule of Rhinestones: sparingly, always on costumes, and if on body? Near the eyes or in the hairpiece ONLY. Not to mention her partner looks like Nosferatu....no wonder they protested in 2002 Worlds. Bronze medal my ass, they were being generous even back then.

I can live with Sasha getting the silver, but I expected Irina to pull out all the stops. She's 27 and this is her last Olympics for sure. Arakawa bores me to death, always has. I'm just not impressed. That little Georgian kid set the place on fire, I'll be looking for her at Worlds.

I continue to adore and worship Johnny Weir. He's just the most colorful, intelligent talent since Toller Cranston, hands down. This kid's got a book in him and I can't wait for him to write it. No one thought Toller had anything that could be published, and he's had 4 best sellers since 1975! Toller painted with brushes, Johnny paints with clothing. I love him. There's nothing else to say.

In other exciting news, Verizon knocked out my phone line accidentally, which is why I haven't been blogging lately. 3 days without service and I had to rely on my cell--thank god--all the while. What can I do? It finally popped back on this afternoon.

The job hunt's heating up, too. Insight Communications wants me back for #2 this week, IMG's looking to make a decision on where to put me, and Decorum Consulting contacted me. My stack of "Leaving the Company" notices is up to an inch thick. The latest loss? Gisele Page, a savvy and sassy chick from Flatbush. We bitched happily during the School Bus Adventure that was the MTA strike in December. I think that's what put her over the edge, too. She realized that it's what you can do for this place Today, not Tomorrow, that counts. They also had her on call 24/7 for systems that are constantly breaking down. Why? 1--everyone's leaving and dropping their work in other's laps, and 2--the systems are antiquated. You go, Gisele! I'm sure we'll run into each other on Church Avenue.

This place is going to shit and I'm lovin' it!!!!

Let's see how Insight #2 goes....stay posted, kiddies!
