Heaven forbid the athletes run amok.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

The paiting that the footprints made, I thought they said it was going to tour.

I am liking the NBC coverage so far. Fewer human interest and it seems less UScentric so far. And unless I missed it in my fast forwarding, I have not seen the dreaded medal count chart.

I love the medal count chart! It's on my google page!
The pommel horse looks like it was custom built for china -- the base looks all pagoda-style to me.

“Not dead yet!”
We were just checking out her bio! "It says she was born in 1967. That's gotta be a mistake. ...Hang on, she competed at Seoul. The hell?
Her first Olympics was Los Angeles in '84. She was seventeen.
And they did a feature on her earlier in the NBC telecast and they showed her in a sports bra and bike shorts and dayum is she cut.
The Chinese men's gymnastics team is freaky good. I suspect they're droids. I think the guy who just sat on the parallel bars is giving the others false hope.

As competetive as I am, in the olympics I am forever wanting the countries that have never medaled to win. I watch for the unrecognizable flags during swimming heets and cheer for them. Then I also cheer for African nations in almost everything.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! We've spent the majority of the day at a kick ass wedding and now I am exhausted. Yay birthday! I even got a tiara!!
