Couch good. Walking bad.

As I lie here this afternoon, recovering from an evening full of poker and Spotted Cow, I find myself actually enjoying these 2006 Winter Olympics. I’ve never been a big fan of the Games, but there’s just something kinda soothing about the monotony of televised competitive cross-country skiing. Georg Hettich from Germany just beat Austrian Felix Gottwald to win the Nordic Combined-Individual event. Hettich pulled away from Gottwald as they neared the finish, meaning the only remaining drama was for the Bronze. Norwegian countrymen Magnus Moan and Petter Tande raced to a photo finish, with Moan earning the last medal by about an inch. Well done, Magnus.

Ahhhh. Good ol’ non-stop weird sports. Maybe it’s just the hangover talking, but I could get used to this. Every four years, eh?
