I thought that so long as I avoided the news networks' websites and television channels I wouldn't have to worry about accidentally finding out Olympic results I cared about before NBC aired them. AOL, always the antagonist, decided to prove me wrong. I went to check my e-mail on their stupid website, and I'm greeted by a giant picture of Sasha Cohen on her butt with the headline, "Cohen Stumbles in Blah Blah Blah." Later followed by another picture of the poor girl falling from a different angle. This time the headline was something about a dramatic event. This was a good couple of hours before the skating thing was on TV. I'm used to seeing that stuff if I go to say, the Olympics website, or something like that, but AOL was just mean and I'm convinced they're doing it to me specifically. Because I'm that important.
In other news, I found a nifty cool stat tracker thing for the blog. Okay, technically Blogger found it for me, but I was actively looking for it. It's neat. It has a counter and then it'll tell me things like the city, state, and country that people are in while they look at this thing. Thus far, it's only been me, but then I don't expect this thing to be the most popular site on the net. It'll also tell me if they came from a link on another webpage or if they just showed up. It's fun to look at. And the best part, it's free! Hooray for free!
That sounded a whole lot more like a shameless plug than I meant it to. I just like the thing. I won't tell you the name, then it can't be a shameless plug because you don't know what it is.
Oh my goodness! A new apparatus in curling. It's not a rock and it's not a broom. I think it's for measuring. It's pretty weird looking. At first it looked like a pitchfork, and I thought that was pretty neat. I also thought it made sense because everything else involved is everyday junk. Why not a pitchfork, too? But I think it's some kind of electronic gizmo. So, curling is a bit more technologically advanced than we thought.
In conclusion, AOL sucks, my stat tracker is watching you, and curling involves more than rocks and brooms. And that, my fellow internet users, is why you should be cool and stay in school.

So you can see where we came from and where we go from here... I'll have to keep that in mind. Hopefully Dan doesn't read this much. For some reason I see him going to and from unmarked goatse.x websites just to leave you little surprises.
It doesn't work quite like that. It only shows me what webpage you came from if you got here from a link on that page. Otherwise it just says "No referring link." It's still pretty neat, though.
