SUCK ON THAT SYDNEY!

Not only did Monette Russo earn herself a place on the 2006 World Gymnastics Championships womens team...

And not only did the Opals return to Australia as the new legends of womens basketball after being crowned world champions...

But today was a rather big day for West Coast livers and breathers like myself.

It was a heart stopping game...

Flying high over the G

Hero of the hour

A fight to the death

But we lived to tell the tale...

WEST COAST WON THE PREMIERSHIP!

We LOVE you Woosha for making our team THE BEST!

Pfft...as if we'd let Sydney get it again!

Facts of the day - Sydney Olympics

Here are a few things you may not have known about the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games...

*The main restaurant in the Olympic village served 48,000 meals every day of the games

*There was 1800 house keeping staff keeping the village spick and span

*There were 52,000 bed sheets, 163,000 towels and 370,000 toilet rolls - enough to stretch for 15,000kms

*The linen alone weighed 825,000 kilos and would've taken the average family of four with eight loads of washing per week 264 years to wash

*The towels stacked on top of each other would reach a height three times that of Mt Kosciuszko

*The beds were made 396,000 times throughout the games - equivalent to 271 years of bed making for a family of four

Because I'm bored

Has anyone noticed I come up with THE lamest and shittiest titles for my blogs? And the entries that follow these poor titles are even poorer? Oh well, here's another one anyways, shamelessly stolen from Rosy's blog (which has awesome titles and entries)...

People who cannot see past their great figures and great hair and great clothes and actually accept a person for who they really are

4. Three things I don’t understand:
Customers who complain to me about their meal/coffee/the price of their meal and coffee. People I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THIS PLACE! I just serve you the stuff!
Mathematics
How people cannot appreciate Australian drama (and how they can enjoy American)

5. Three things I’m doing right now:
Going to bed
Doing another blog after this one because pictures wouldn't work in this one for some f*cked up reason

Anything that loser Cale says on the TVAus forum

Pumped!

I am pumped :D Convention is almost here! The Eagles won today and are on their way to premiership glory! We're rehearsing all of tomorrow morning NOT in the studio (that makes it feel all the closer, I just love it!) I got a Distinction for my youth issues presentation (I think possibly my first distinction ever at university, after a year and a half! *Shame*) and Ditch Davey is hosting a new show on Wednesday on Seven (my beloved Heelers are back!)

I am PUMPED! :oD
