if you ever want to understand, I am happy to bore you to pieces.
amych! Wanna be one of the Buffista consultants on my manuscript? Because right now I've got this bit that just reads "AW DOES SOMETHING SWORD-FIGHTY HERE."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bob Costas said something about not seeing anyone directing the action, but if you notice, the performers have earpieces -- I wonder if that's where the direction is coming from.

What the HELL has Sarah B. done to her face? Every time I see her, it gets more and more frozen into some bizarre mask-thing.

Big Globe Thing with vaguely athletic people on it looks -- Nike? McDonalds? -- commercial-ish. But the Big Globe Thing when it came up and had abstract patterns was blowing me right the fuck away, so I'm prone to changing my mind at a second's notice.
