TV
I remember being in university and staying in until 10 p.m. only to catch a new episode of Seinfeld. And it was already some years old when we were first watching it. It was great. I miss that, waiting for something good to watch. Nowadays, you can watch everything on the net or buy the season. It completely ruins the "waiting for" feeling.

Holiday
It has been a week already since we came back from the skiing holiday, and I cannot tell when has this week passed by. And the same goes for the week before!
Skiing was goooood... Not only I'd got the moves, I also took part in a race (true, for beginners) and I came third (got the medal and diploma to prove it). I shared the slope with Michael Sheen, and he is a swell guy. He somehow found himself part of the jury of an event called Jump & Freeze and since he plays David Frost in the new "Frost/Nixon", the smartie who presented the show thought it was a great idea to call the night "Jump & Frost". Yoowhoooo! Get it?! God, it was an embarrassing moment, that one... Poor Mr. Sheen! But what can you expect from someone living in a little village in Austria? More common sense, I know, but perhaps there is a reason for which Westendorf is not famous for its witty comedians. Still, Michael Sheen was a brave chap and stuffed back the gros mots and behaved himself.
Now, the Jump & Freeze. Teenagers and young twenty-somethings jumped in a big swimming pool made out of snow, on the slope, naturally. They competed for the longest jump (and surprisingly, everybody managed to hit the pool and not miss it, which would have made the entire thing not funny at all), they dressed up funny, built funny "ships" and slid on the ramp straight into the freezing water! I liked best the "Couch-surfing" which was a couch with skies and people crashed on it, just like in the image that pops in my mind when I think of the website Couchsurfing.
Holiday was good.
And now I cannot wait for the next one, coming up in three weeks.
Until then, lots of stuff to do. Including a lot of homework and home work.
This is a very silly post. I should have waited until something better came to my mind.
