ARGH!!!! (jm)

 Awww Janet, I'm sorry!  I hope you feel better soon and can go.

thanks... i'm definately gonna go one of these days. but i REAAALLLY wanted to take pics of the fireworks. i have been preparing for it, practicing the options on my camera, reading up on taking fireworks- pics. and now i cant go. next chance will be chinese new year....

well ok. my friends just called and they are gathering in front of worker's stadium (remember, the one right across the street from me?) where they have a screen to watch. aparently not that many people. at least that might be kinda fun.... better than sitting home alone... :)

 Ooh that sounds good.  Take something to shade yourself and stock up on nice cool drinks. :)

well sun's already about to go down, but i DO still have my backpack packed with drinks and stuff (i did have hope's of going this morning, so i prepared! )

Feel better, Janet!!  I've been thinking of you as I watch the Today Show & wondering if you're in the crowd somewhere.

Aww, Janet - sending i-dog "get healthy fast!" vibes to you!!  You deserve to get the experience of the Olympics just the way you wanted to!  Enjoy the new people you meet, too.  I imagine you speaking English is an advantage in meeting new friends.

OMG!! i am not easily impressed, but that show was just AWESOME! i realy enjoyed myself tonight, although i only got to watch it on screen... we also went to a bar to finish watching after about 30 min. it was just too hot! i have some pics that might be fun to show, but i gotta go through them first. right now i am so exhausted. on my way home i couldnt even find any cabs, and had to walk home. i was so exhausted i felt like i was about to pass out! anyways. just ate a bit something, and am going to sleep! but that was great!

btw, i almost cried, when i saw those fireworks! HOW COOL would it have been if i had been there? and i wouldnt have cared, not seing the rest of the show! there are always reruns! *sigh* really not my lucky day! oh well... i did have some fun..
