We've been watching a lot of the Olympic coverage at work. We get CBC streamed in on our internal network plus its on all the TVs in the studio. As you can imagine, it's certainly not news to us that Canada has not won a single medal so far in Beijing.

I think a few of us are getting discourage by our performance so far. I'm not sure who coined it but someone came up with the phrase "Canadian gold". We've decided it means any performance by a Canadian athlete where they place eighth or better. It's made for some interesting comments.

"He didn't make the podium but his time was good for a 'Canadian gold'."

"Oh, the final heat is starting, she'll be going for 'Canadian gold'."

"Doh! He just missed out on 'Canadian gold'."

I have full confidence in our athletes to get at least one medal before the Games end.

I indeed set in motion a series of events that will soon involve me making an offer for an apartment. I should be freaked out right now but I'm not since I'm convinced there will be some back and forth on the actual selling price.

I'm not sure if it was a wise decision to make the offer based on only having 5.5h to 6h of sleep the previous night but who really needs a good night of sleep to potentially enter into the most expensive purchase of your life?

This isn't a sure thing right now, so there's no reason to get excited. We'll see what the other party has to say and we'll go from there.

No time for a post tonight as I am mulling over whether or not to place an offer on an apartment. For a guy that takes days just to decide on what toppings to get on a pizza, this is an exercise in near torture.

Last Friday was my two year anniversary marking my time working at EA Black Box. I didn't realize the milestone day had passed until the weekend was almost over. This is the longest I've worked at any job and for a guy that's now over 30 years of age, that's kinda sad. Nonetheless, it's been an awesome two years. Professionally, this is the best gig I've had by a ridonkulous margin. I am as passionate today about what I'm working on as I was twenty-eight months ago.

It's been a really fast two years as well. Five more years and I'll get my first sabbatical! I wonder if we'll have flying cars by then.

During my vacation in Hawaii, I learned a few things about Hawaii that I did not know before. For example, "ewa" means the west direction. "Diamond Head" refers to the east direction. "Mahalo" means thank you. A "lanai" is a porch or balcony. Thus, if your hotel lanai faces the ocean, you've got a good room.

The lanai for my hotel room was small and afforded me a "city view" which essentially meant it faced the worst possible direction, namely towards the island. While the visible mountains were sorta pretty, there was no water to be seen from my lanai. Here's what I mainly could see.



What was interesting was that at night, I could actually see into many other hotel rooms in the area. With the beach area so densely packed with hotels, looking left and right meant there was no more than about 70m between myself and another hotel window. There was an especially large hotel off to the right of my lanai and I'll be darned if a lot of people didn't close their drapes at night. Now, I'm no perv... ok, so maybe I am a little but I certainly wasn't out there every evening with binoculars hours at a time. I just took note that yes, you could see a lot of people going about their clothed business in the evening in their hotel rooms.

So on one of the very last evenings I was in Hawaii, I was waiting for Ron to come to my hotel. We were going to have a few drinks. While waiting, I decided to get some fresh air and stepped out onto the lanai. Looking to my right, I saw people in the hotel next door doing mundane things. Some were packing, some were sitting out on their own lanais, and others were watching TV. Then one window caught my eye. There appeared to be a woman in her underwear and a t-shirt walking around her room. Even from this distance, I could tell she didn't go to the gym that often but she wasn't exactly obese either. Then the boyfriend/husband made an appearance. He sauntered out from what I believed to be the bathroom... completely naked. There was no hiding the fact his body wasn't exactly a work of art either. He was kinda chubby but not obese just like his female companion. Now both of them were now at their window, looking over at my direction. I turned my head slightly because I wasn't sure if they were looking at me. After a minute, I turned my head back and by now, he'd pressed his face right up against the window. It was clear he wasn't looking at me but looking at a window in my hotel, the side perpendicular to my room. There he was pointing and gesturing at some unknown sight, all the while showing me and the rest of the world his naked body (including his penis if you weren't sure).

I didn't think I could take much more of this so I went back inside and turned on some HBO while I waited for Ron to arrive. After a few minutes the knock on my door signaled Ron's presence. We watched TV for a few more minutes when I mentioned to him the chubby naked guy I saw out on my lanai. Ron wanted to see so I said ok and we both went out there.

As I turned to the right to point to the window where I had seen naked dude, I immediately saw that he was no longer at his window. He was in fact, having very, very visible sex with his female companion on the bed. It was an all out show. The sun had set hours ago, so it was completely dark outside. Their drapes were completely open and almost all the lights were on in their room. There was no mistaking they wanted everyone within viewing distance to know they were having sex.

It took Ron a few seconds to find the window but when he did, we were both awestruck by what we were seeing. I'd never witnessed a sight like this before. The weird thing is, both of them didn't have attractive bodies, so if this were porn, it'd be pretty disappointing porn. Yet, because it was happening live and they were so intent on putting on this show, it was utterly fascinating to watch. We could not take our eyes off the whole situation. Ron then had the smart idea to take out his camera and start taking pictures! Hell yeah! Unfortunately, several things worked against us in this regard. Given the distance and the lighting conditions, it was difficult for a point and shoot digital camera to capture the best details. Also, we had stepped out much too late onto the lanai since they finished about five minutes after we started watching. We captured a bit of the post-coital interaction but it was clear that we missed a lot of the midgets donkeys ball gags "good stuff". I'll leave it to your imagination what I mean by that.

The couple at one point just suddenly turned off all the lights in their room, which signaled to us the end of the show. We were disappointed, yet we had pictures! Ron and I then went to have a few drinks at some bars. Nothing else that night topped what we saw earlier.

Ok, so you're probably wondering what Ron did with the pictures he took. Of course he sent them to me. I have them. I have also uploaded them to my server. I am also willing to share them with you. Before you get all click-y and download-y, keep in mind a few things. The pictures are blurry and have bad lighting so don't expect studio quality shots. Also, while there is no clear genitalia visible in any of these shots, there's no mistaking there's two people having sex in the photos, so viewing these at work probably isn't a good idea. Did you read that correctly? Don't look at these at work! So with that out of the way I guess you can see what we saw.

Well, have fun with those.
