My most recent and current obsession? Id probably say sitting in front of the wood stove with hot cocoa and watching the snow...when it snows....flurrying outside. Oh what a pretty sight!
I have a favourite event, well, a couple...but its not related to the olympics. Watching the Packers and watching the NY Yankees.
I have costume jewelery and occaisionally wear it, just because. No reason necessary, really.
What is your current or most recent obsession (tv show, book, hobby, food)?
All I can think of is sweets..... anything loaded with sugar.
What pulled you in and kept you hooked?
It might have started with the fudge I made at Christmas, or the hot chocolate with marshmallows....
Do you watch the Olympics when it's on? Winter or Summer?
I used to. I only have a roku now, no cable or satellite.
Do you have a favorite event?
No favorite. There are events I don't like though.

In honor of the largest diamond being found in 1905:
Do you wear any jewelry? I don't usually wear any jewelry.
If yes, what do you wear and what significance does it have? I do have a Pandora bracelet & the charms have significance. One charm is a snake to remind me that it's not the snake bite that people die of, it's the venom that runs through the veins after.
Bonus Question:
Did you keep up with the OJ Simpson trial in 95?
No
What are/were your thoughts on it?
Guilty
Just Because:
Awards season is upon us...
Do you watch the broadcasts?
No
I just came home from seeing "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" at the Brigg's Opera House. Quite fun. Oh, but I'll be so tired tomorrow.
What is your current or most recent obsession (tv show, book, hobby, food)?
My current obsession is The Australian Open tennis - which is on TV from 10.30am right through to after midnight.
What pulled you in and kept you hooked?
I love watching high level tennis matches and the Aussie Open is the only one we get to see live matches during the day on free-to-air telly. Unless you pay for satellite TV, the other Grand Slam events are only televised as highlight packages (or, at best, complete matches in the dead of our night).
Do you watch the Olympics when it's on? Winter or Summer? Yes I like watching both summer and winter.
Do you have a favorite event? I enjoy most of them, except football, soccer, ice hockey. Overall I prefer individual rather than team sports.

In honor of the largest diamond being found in 1905:
Do you wear any jewelry? I wear a silver necklace all the time (I have a couple of others, but this silver one is really hard to take off - besides I love it, so am happy to leave it on 24/7)
What significance does it have? It was given to me a few years ago by my best guy friend, so it's very special.
Bonus Question:
Did you keep up with the OJ Simpson trial in 95? Nope
What are/were your thoughts on it? Even though I don't know all the ins and outs, I'm pretty sure he's guilty.
Just Because:
Awards season is upon us...
Do you watch the broadcasts? No - hate them... can't stand listening to the long-winded speeches. Happy to watch the highlights on the news.
Which program is your favorite, if you have one? (Oscars, Grammys, AMAs, Golden Globes, Other). None of them!
What is your current or most recent obsession (tv show, book, hobby, food)?
Planning a vacation
What pulled you in and kept you hooked?
I'm always anal about researching a vacation but this year, I'm also teaching a class on it.
Do you watch the Olympics when it's on?
Not really. Occasionally turn on an event or two.
Winter or Summer?
Winter. Never summer.
Do you have a favorite event?
Luge

Do you wear any jewelry?
Only occasionally.
If yes, what do you wear and what significance does it have?
I wear the largest diamond when going to the ball.
But seriously. I only occasionally wear a big cheap watch (with large numbers) usually when I go to the casino (no clocks) or when I teach a class (the clock in the computer classroom never has the right time). Otherwise, no jewelry.
Bonus Question:
Did you keep up with the OJ Simpson trial in 95?
I did not watch the daily coverage but did see whatever was on the news that night.
What are/were your thoughts on it?
1) The big murderer wore sissy Italian shoes.
2) What is the mentality of any person who thinks they can get away from the police in Los Angeles traffic?
3) I can't get leather gloves on my hands, either.
4) The jury members made up their mind before the trial began.
Just Because:
Awards season is upon us...
Do you watch the broadcasts?
No.
Which program is your favorite, if you have one? (Oscars, Grammys, AMAs, Golden Globes, Other)
Don't watch them. Not big on speeches. No rooting interest. Not up on current music. Rarely have seen any movie nominated at the time of the awards, if ever. (Example: I just saw The Black Swan this past weekend on TV) Never watch the TV shows nominated. Sometimes never even heard of them or the actors in them.
