Rio 2016, Finally found an electronics/appliances place

BANKSIDE, LONDON, UK -- Well after my long impassioned plea on behalf of Chicago 2016, we ended up losing out in the first round of voting. Then Tokyo. Then Madrid. Thus leaving Rio de Janeiro as host city for the 2016 games. Having just been to Rio in March, I can say with certainty that they are going to put on a hell of a show. I would love to try and get there, and if not, will be watching for sure. Funny, within three days in March I was in both Rio and London, the two cities hosting the next two Olympics.

Then after that disappointment the Blackhawks decided to dominate their hockey game only for our crappy excuse for a goalie Cristobal Hueeeeeeeeeeet to blow it repeatedly during the game and then yet again in the shootout. At least we got 1 point from that one, and can exact revenge as soon as tomorrow.

Hopefully tomorrow on the sports-related front things go better. The Badgers battle the Golden Gophers for Paul Bunyan's Axe in Minneapolis at 11:00AM CT. At the same time the Hawks drop the puck in Finland for part two of the NHL premier, except this time we want 2 points!

In non-sports related news, I had a productive afternoon on my way back from LSE after the library induction. I came across a place that has alarm clocks for sale! And get this: they sold mini-refrigerators too! The alarm clock looks nice - we'll see how I feel about it when it's waking me up. I just had a drink from a water bottle that has been in the fridge for a couple of hours and it's nice and chilled. All for 40 GBP, not too bad. Oh and the fridge is technically a "cooler," so I should be able to get away with not paying the 30 GBP fridge fee.

That's all for now - have a good night everyone.
