Odds and ends

This blog will consist of a few quick-hitters because I really haven't gotten to do anything these last couple of days other than work. Today will be different, as we're off and I'm planning on going to the Olympic Park to watch some stuff (women's hockey gold-medal game?) and maybe do some more shopping (women be shopping).

Here is the text from a press release I received yesterday. Read it and tell me what sport you think it's talking about...

BREAKING NEWS: Randall and Diggins Win Team Sprint Free Semifinal to Advance

Kikkan Randall and Jessie Diggins have advanced to the final in women's team sprint free by winning their semifinal with the fastest time Wednesday evening at the Alpensia Cross-Country Skiing Center.

The duo combined for a time of 16:22.56, finishing 0.72 seconds ahead of Sweden.

Norway won the first semifinal with a time of 16:33.28, 10.72 seconds slower than the Americans' time.

The women's sprint free final is scheduled to begin todfay at 7 p.m. KT/5 a.m. ET.

You can't! I still don't know. Is it skiing? Snowboarding? A sport where they race across a sheet of ice on foot? It's a total mystery to me.

But way to go Randall and Diggins, you two team sprint free athletes, and best of luck in the finals!

Last night we returned to the Korean barbecue restaurant for dinner. Afterward, we tried to go to this dessert place we've been hearing a lot about. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were greeted by this sign...


If I must say, this comes off as a little arrogant. Hey, Dessert 39, you don't need to brag about how scrumptious your stock is...you've already lured us here with your enticing window display (not pictured, but trust me, it was enticing).

I'm going back there today, and if they haven't re-stocked their delicios drinks and desserts, I'm gonna be livid.

Snack Review


These are called Turtle chips or Turtle bites or something. There's a short story on the bag about what goes into corn soup, which I guess is what these are made with. If that sounds unappetizing, that's because it is.

See that facial expression on the turtle on the bag? That's what I looked like when I tried these. Disgusting on every level. There was some semblance of sweetness, probably from the corn soup, and maybe even a touch of vanilla flavor somewhere in there. Overall, these were vile and wretched and should never be consumed by a living soul.
