OMG! Best dream ever!

shellah and I were staying with celli for a week and the three of us were at the supermarket because Shelley needed to buy something. Anyway, Celli and I are checking out the magazines (because one of them had PK on the cover) while Shelley lines up, and then I looked up and saw Peter Kruase in the next line.

Shelley was totally cool. She waited until he'd finished buying whatever he was buying, and then very politely asked for his autograph. PK was totally charming and even joked around and thanked her ("Thanks. Some fans seem to forget I have a real life. And that I can forget my pin code easily.").

I went into embarrassing fangirl mode, going on about how much I loved SFU. It was the perfect time for someone to kick me in the shins and hiss "Shut up!", but PK just seemed amused and took it in good humour. For some reason, Celli was pretty quiet.

Then he gracefully excused himself, and we all watched him walk away (wearing his leather jacket and jeans) and get on his motorcycle (this cute little, short, shiny, red thing). Oh, that man was even hotter in the flesh.

(Of course, karma strikes as it will, so the next dream was bad. Waking up at 9.20am, both Mum and I struggling to get out the door, and the home computer full of viruses and not working.)

It's a short update (and half of it is the Eddie the Eel bit everyone read a week ago) but I have a fear that if I don't officially update, I'll end up forgetting to post bits.

Previous parts here.

Queries.

So damn tired. Of course, part of this is because I was awake at 5.30am. *muttergrumble*

But, it hasn't been a bad day, I'm just *exhausted*.

Anyway, since Celli sent me an early, early, *early* birthday present, I'm boning up on old Olympics knowledge. Yes, expect references to the Flying Dutchman, to old records of gold medals and to the Moscow 1980 Summer Olympics that the USA boycotted due to Afganistan. (And, yes, the women's water polo final match will definitely be watched.)

However, since it's, y'know, set in 2000, I need a bit of relevant (2000) information:

1) Does anyone have any idea where I could find some sort of timetable for the Sydney 2000 events? When was what held?

2) Were there any athletes (US, in particular) that suffered injuries/setbacks just before the 2000 Olympics? I'm wondering if there were any of those "triumphs over adversery" that everyone loves reading about.

3) *sighs* Who was in the White House in 2000? I mean, I just realised I made that crack about "a republican in the White House" (in part two, I think), but I have a sneaking suspicion that Clinton would have still been President back then, and he's Democrat, right? (Hey, I have a limited interest in my own country's politics. The only reason I care about US politics is WW. *g*)

ETA: Am insanely amused that the icon listed below "Sleepy Sam" is "Rapture Sam". Heh.
