Problem: I might have been disturbed by his intense stare , but I had grown used to his silent perusal over the last years . After a long separation he would look at me like this - long and hard as if he needed to commit my face to memory once more . He would gaze at me unblinking , focusing on my left eye , my right eye , my nose , my cheeks , my lips . The list was virtually endless : During our last rendezvous he had even fixedly looked at my toes .

Why is the man so intense in his state to the narrator ?

A: None of the above choices .

Problem: This is the Beijing Olympics , and there 's plenty to talk about . Check out the Beijing Olympics room on FriendFeed , set up by Chad Catacchio , for a quick overview of everywhere the dialog is going . I 'll be posting links there and on Twitter , and maybe even a few updates here .

What type of info would Chad Catacchio have to deliver to people on his feed ?

A: Chad Catacchio would talk about sports .

Problem: As my mother handed me the application , I decided right then and there that I did n't want to go . She mailed it off on its journey to Washington D.C , and I complained because I did n't want to go . In the car weeks later , my mother was ecstatic about my acceptance and I still did n't want to go .

Why may the narrator be feeling some guilt ?

A:
They have to disappoint their mother .
