It's 8:41 am in China, no?
10 -- they're 12 hours off Eastern US time.
I'd say that's a bad assumption. I don't want to know until I see it happen.
Then I am glad I whitefonted!
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is brilliant: Current time in China.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am trying hard to catch up on the night nbc coverage, but I am about 2 hours behind.
Does anyone else think that Bob Costas' hair looks like a piece? Or is that common knowledge?

I love the Olympics. Seriously. Just all the little stories, like Justin Spring, Olympic gymnast, son of an astronaut--talk about interesting family careers. And I love the feeling of the whole world focusing on something at the same time. It just feels very immediate, and community-like, and awesome.
ETA: Sorry, msbelle, I didn't notice Bob's hair. But the next time I see him, I will certainly check it out.

yeah, whitefont! I find it whacky that we are watching tomorrow right now on NBC.

I am alibelle. Makes me happy to watch the olympics. I just realized that I would never want N to be a gymnast. A diver, yes. A swimmer, absolutely. A field hockey player, sure. But not a gymnast.

I know, right? But after Nilly's story, I really want to see sunrise/sunset.

I wouldn't want to be a swimmer because, shallowly, the girl swimmers usually have funky-looking shoulders and not always the best hair. And there's many reasons why I sucked at gymnastics, but I still love it and think it's the most interesting sport. And didn't you do gymnastics too, Kat? Or did you just do tumbling stuff for cheering? I don't remember. Why wouldn't you want to be a gymnast?

I miss the "up close and personal" stuff - with the map and the zoom into the home town.

Nope. I competed in gymnastics for almost 10 years. Crapped out at Regionals. Quit after I was 16 and looking down on the beam thinking, "Why the FUCK am I up here?" I ended up winning State on Floor my last year which was my goal. But that was enough.
I think male gymnasts have weird and odd bodies. I wouldn't want the morphology for N. Really. I'd prefer that both my kids be pole vaulters!
