You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

From what I remember them saying about her personality, it wasn't just looking either.

Oh yes, I felt quite bad for her at Sydney. There was a stuff-up with the vaulting horse, they had it 5 cm too low or something, and of course that threw off her routine. They found it and fixed it, and offered a do-over to the gymnasts who were affected, but she was already too upset.

Art Crawl!!!

Hee. I changed the channel. (This was going to happen anyway - due to Mystery etc.)

Umm, I saw a profile on that weightlifter on the ABC news Saturday night and I'm pretty sure that they did one of their "spotlights" on her on NBC this morning.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

WHy are they interviewing George Bush?!?!

I don't know! I came back upstairs and GAAAHHH!

They should set Khorkina on him.

Is the Chimperor off the tv yet? I had to switch over to Big Brother to prevent my brain from leaking out from the stupid. ("I don't see America as having any problems")

Was Svetlana the Belorussian Swan? I adored her, her disdain was so regal.

I'm not a fan of the floor exercises, it's become too sexualized.

He's gone, Brenda. But we're in the commercials, so there's always the chance of a lovely McCain attack spot!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I switched to mystery. They should have thought of the ratings!

Wow, Nadia looks terrific! Except for the gum. But wow, what gorgeous angles in her face.

“Not dead yet!”

I don't like floor exercise because it's become so discordant with the music, which makes me crazy.

I always thought if Khorkina had been a figure skater, she would've been the perfect match for Sasha Zhulin in ice dance in terms of mutual arrogance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just want to know who decided those crazy hand figures were "pretty."
