AC/DC & MM/DM

All alone… everyone has left me…

But, it was for a very good reason. The twins (Matthew and David) are celebrating their sixteenth birthday today with a high voltage of Australian culture, yes… that’s right… an AC/DC concert in Melbourne.

At some point in the day, they will (or already have) enjoyed some Japanese food. Then of course, will get to rock out, to quite possibly, the most internationally well known Australian band. I myself am not really a concert kind of guy, nor am I truly that avid of an AC/DC fan, but, Matthew and David being those kind of people… well, I’m really happy for them and hope they have an awesome day.

Meanwhile, back on the home front, the Estonian’s are over, and we watched the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, also known as four hours of Canadian propaganda. The Estonians commented on how many Americans there where marching out of the gate, I in turn reminded them that our team only had to take a road trip to get there. I love the tropical countries that show up with that one guy, and all hopes of gold are riding on just his shoulders.

We’ll see if Australia can pull off any gold this year.

It was interesting I admit watching the opening ceremony in a different country, because, in the US, they always talk about how America will do in the games yada yada yady, and of course, just as you would think, Australia did the same thing. It was just interesting hearing it from a country that historically just does not perform at the Winter Olympics.

And to answer any and all of your questions, the only sport I have any interest in watching, is women’s figure skating, but I’m sure most of you already knew that. This reminds me, I really should look up when that will be on.

Richard is madly in love with the movie Pearl Harbor. And to his credit, as we sit here watching it, I must (painfully) admit… (sigh) it is not as horrible of a movie as I quite remember it being. I just really don’t like admitting to liking something by Michael Bay. Which, really sucks when it comes to Bad Boys I & II, because I totally love those movies, but they do have Will Smith in them, so that must be it (plus all the Miamian women in the back ground).

Tomorrow, we might or might not have work depending on the dryness of the soil around the orange trees… it’s really quite frustrating not knowing one way or the other, especially when it involves waking up at 5 am to find out. Either way, unless that girl from the supermarket calls, it will be a lonely St. Valentine’s Day.
