Similar oddities

I've sat down several times to blog, and I have yet to complete it -- hopefully today will be the day. I am not overly optimistic though because my fingers are freezing... it was actually a beautiful day today, but in my house... COLD! I am trying to conserve fuel because it is quite expensive and I would like it to last as long as possible-- so I have been just using it a little at night, and a little in the morning, but the house seems bitter when I get home from school. Anyway, I had a quite lazy weekend. I really had no motivation to do anything. That is two weekends in a row. I have been feeling under the weather, but I think that I am getting better-- especially after this weekend's rest. Anyway, while Iounging around I was flipping through the channels on the television, and I stumbled upon the channel that often broadcasts sports -- all kinds of sports. I am amazed at the variety of sports. The enthusiasm for sport here rivals OSU football. Sunday's sport was bocci... you don't actually throw the little ball, and it was in an indoor arena but it was basically Bocci. So I was sitting on my couch thinking... wow that is kind of ridiculous... a bocci tournament on TV, that is taking sport a little too far... then I was brought back to reality... we have bowling on television and bass fishing, so really again, Belfast and the US are not so different... we are at least similar in the odd ways!
