Sunday Post #539



So this week we got snow. How is everyone's new year so far? I'm excited because it's an Olympics year. Another year where I try to watch online and bitch about coverage. I was looking at blog posts and I had a little under 200 in 23. Looking back at 2021 I had 271 posts, and 315 in 2019. I had 457 !!! the year before that. How did I do that??    

This week's discussion post is Favorite Book Titles III      

Not Bad Betty Cooper GIF by Lili Reinhart 


Here is this week's lyric. 
See them walking hand in hand 
Across the bridge at midnight  
  

Here is the lyric f/ last week and the answer      

One very happy warm summer night 
I saw your face what could I do 


   Song of the week


PULP COVER OF THE WEEK:

    I normally enjoy the Olympics coverage without the commentators.

    I never did multiple posts per day, but it seems you were that blogger back in the day with almost 500 posts! Good luck trying to catch the events you want to watch. It really is a challenge with time zones.

    Okay how exactly did you have more blog posts than actual days of the year!!? Man, I am lucky if I have one per week heh. Even in my heyday, I only did about 5 per week!

    I love the Olympics in theory, and I used to watch them endlessly, but then adulthood and responsibilities came into the mix, womp womp. Sam is obsessed though, so he may make me watch them, we'll see! You can probably watch them all with a Peacock subscription, I bet!

    I feel they have changed so much in the coverage of the Olympics. Sure, we need to cheer on our teams, but they don't interview other Olympians like they used too. So sometimes, I feel it is far more commerical. Occasionally, there will be skating I can hardly wait for. But it's not like it used to be when I was a kid.❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️Brrrrr....6 degrees and snowing..and it's gonna get colder. I dunno if I got it in me to clear the driveway. This storm is taking a toll on us. & somebody is home from the hospital..and yes, basically in his own little world.

    "I had 457 !!! the year before that. How did I do that??"
    I know! You kept going back in time and write multiple posts for the same day 😂. Seriously though...I'm in awe of that "a little under 200" for 2023...

    Enjoy your snow (I hope! unless you have to dig your car from under it LOL).

    I'm excited it's an Olympic year, too! Can't wait to watch my favorite sports...and we complain about the coverage every time, too. They should just let ESPN do it, because they know how to cover sports. We got snow this week, too...with another big storm coming in tonight. I'm glad I can just stay home this weekend.

    Happy New Year Greg. I got the lyrics but won't type the answer here and spoil it.
    Hope your blogging goes from strength to strength this year. Last year my reading and blogging wasn't the best but I'm getting back on board slowly but surely and have lots of good books to look forward to this year.

    No snow for us last week, just the rain on the east coast and the flooding closed the schools. We might get some on Tuesday though, my kids are hopeful!

    The Olympics is great because my husband and I obsess over one or two new sports each time and by the end sound like we're experts (we're not). Last time it was snowboarding. "Ah, they didn't grab the board that time. They'll be penalized."

    I'm thinking of signing up for Sling TV maybe? I think then you can get the network channels for the Olympics. I guess I'd better figure that out, lol.

    Generally, I prefer watching the Winter Olympics, but we do fairly well with the good old BBC providing reasonable coverage. I discovered speed climbing last time which was huge fun:). Best of luck with the snow, Greg.

    The mountain pass video looks pretty, but I think I'm living in that kind of environment right now with the snow and cold, so couldn't watch it, lol. Yep, more Olympics, we'll see how that goes this year! Hope you're staying warm!

    So much snow. The wind is worse though. We had snow days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Then Eleanor and I were home sick on Wednesday and Thursday. And if the temps/wind chill stay where they are now, we won't have school Tuesday either.

    Lots of snow and cold here - West Chicagoland.
    My experience is Canadian TV (with a VPN) is the best to watch ALL the Olympic competitions, all sports.

    I used to love watching the Olympics. I don't as much anymore because of Corey. He was on a fast track to the Olympics in sailing when he was young. He ended up busting his knee which hosed his dreams. Watching the Olympics is bittersweet for him so I don't really watch them either.

    We also got snow this week. A little over a couple of feet. It's more snow than we've had all winter.

    Have a great week!

    I got Peacock on Black Friday for $19.99 for the year and NBC is the Olympic carrier, so I should be good for the games? I hope so I do enjoy watching! over 450 posts in one year? That's WILD!

  39. Jen at Introverted ReaderJanuary 15, 2024 at 9:23 AM

    We've sort of got snow in the forecast tonight? The mountains make forecasting difficult here but our meteorologists have been very wishy washy this season and they're really outdoing themselves about this storm. We've got road crews spraying the roads with salt solution and snow plows on standby but we don't even have any kind of warning or watch and our forecast is "Could be 2+ inches of snow [which is enough to cause a lot of problems in the south], could be rain, could be freezing rain. You tell me." It's all very puzzling.

    I love watching the Olympics too but it's so hard when you don't have cable!

    Enjoy your week!

    I stopped watching the Olympics a few years ago. It's just not exciting to me anymore. I post on my blog almost everyday. But I blog ahead by almost two months most times for a lot of posts.

  43. Lark @ The Bookwyrm's HoardJanuary 15, 2024 at 3:27 PM

    I used to love the Winter Olympic and watched it every night (way back when it was on network TV and they put together the best and/or most popular sports into an evening of coverage.) Now that it's on at all hours and you have to figure out where it's streaming, I don't seem to watch as much. But I will try to watch the figure skating and ice dancing, at least.

    I think a lot of us started out blogging strong, and have tapered off. Some of that is probably because (like lots of activities) it's less exciting after you've been doing it for years. For me, some of it is burnout. Every year, I debate whether I should just stop blogging, but this online book-blogging community connects me to people with similar interests, where I have a harder time finding them locally. So that keeps me going.

    We only got rain from the big storms last week, but it's snowing lightly here now. I actually love snow (as long as I don't have to drive in it), so I'm enjoying it!

    My husband mentioned it was an Olympic year and when I asked my daughter if she was excited, she said she isn't into sports. She clearly didn't inherit the excitement I always felt about the Games. In her defense though, we haven't watched as much of the Games as I did when I was growing up. Coverage is so horrid in general. She did perk up though when we told her the Games are in France this year. I hope you have a great week, Greg, and stay warm!

    Is it an Olympics year again? I swear it was only last year we had the olympics but it could just be there were a lot of athletics and gymnastics competitions on TV. Although, I may be getting confused as we had the commonwealth games a couple of years ago. l'm hoping the BBC has all the coverage for me to watch.
