anonymoose_au11:26pm: It's the second last day of Le Tour, and apparently they'll be doing a time trail for the last day which is weird choice, but then again because of the Olympics its not ending in Paris like it always does maybe they want to do something different. That's not very interesting, I like to see all the cyclists in a group! I guess on the plus side it might be a team time trial so at least they'll have more than one guy on the road at a time. Oh wait no, the commentators have just said it's an individual one, except they've already had one of those? Maybe they've changed the rules.
That reminds me, the Olympics also starts this week, on Wednesday - which seems to be another weird choice, don't the Olympics usually start on a Saturday? Or a Friday? Guess it's still summer holidays over there in France.
In other news, I'm itchy, which is weird because there's no bugs in my house and it's the middle of winter so no mosquitoes. I hope I'm not allergic to my laundry powder since I am wearing PJs I washed - although that was like 5 days ago - because that would suuuuck.
Apart from that not much else to report I was going to play some Cities Skylines, but it wouldn't load up. Very odd - it worked a couple of days ago and I haven't uploaded anything since then.
Speaking of computers, all the Aldi self-checkouts were working today, but not all the Coles ones, interesting! Still lucky for me it happened this weekend because next Sunday Mum, her friend and me are off to Fiji.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention why this entry has the title it does, well the cyclist wearing Polka Dot Jersey (aka "King of the Mountains") yesterday was really phoning it in, he had the jersey, but no polka dots on the helmet or on his bike, very poor effort. The guy wearing it today has at least got the polka dot helmet, although the rider who held it last week knew how to do it right, he had polka dots on his cycling socks and the bike itself! Now that's dedication. ;O)
Right, I better go put some anti-itch cream on my arms...before I head off though

1. What's a skill you'd like to learn? I've always wanted to play an instrument of some kind, like maybe the violin. I guess I could try to learn, but I suck at follow-through LOL.
2. What's a hobby you'd like to try? Hmm, I'd like to get back into painting Bob Ross style! Or maybe jigsaw puzzles again. I feel like that would help my creativity rather than getting on the net and scrolling so much.
3. What's the best compliment you've ever received? Hmm...gee I dunno...although at my Performance Review this week my supervisor said that I'm really pleasant to work with and am an asset to the Collections Team. :O)
4. What's one way in which you are awesome? Well I do have a 1000+ day streak on Duolingo XD in all seriousness though, I think I'm a pretty good writer, even if I don't do it as often as I like.
5. What's a gift you would like to receive (in case anyone asks)? Hmm...I'm a big fan of getting presents, but be damned if I can't think of anything in particular right now.
Eek, it's getting close to midnight now, so I better dash!
