I knew it!!! :-) I mean I knew I could depend on you! Your diary gave me a much better impression of what happend at the olympic ceremony than what I read in the newspaper articles this morning. Thank you Izzy.

Re: Izzy : our first ET olympic star (none / 1)

Thanks, Agnes. I'm sure, though, that the papers have all kinds of, y'know, real details. Like who everyone was and what everything meant.

Re: Izzy : our first ET olympic star (none / 0)

You know Izzy, the facts are in the newspaper - but they are sterile, what do I care about them. Reading your diary made me feel sitting next to you, feeling bored as I am sure I would have been at times while watching it, being impressed, or just having overload, etc...

Oh, good. I'm glad about that. It was actually quite fun. I was thinking of you guys while I was writing it.

Re: Izzy : our first ET olympic star (none / 0)

Me too, which the press definitely fails to achieve.
Fran is unquestionably our ET gold medallist in the press coverage category, but I claim for a special award for Izzy.

Re: Izzy : our first ET olympic star (none / 0)

As Izzy loves ice skating, how about giving her the gold medal for the 'free style' reporting. I don't know what the other one is called in English, in German it is 'Pflicht' - that one sounds more like me. But whatever, thanks anyway for the gold medal, Agnes.
