(And you notice how as soon as they're out of the water that guys pull the tops down? So I'm thinking - also uncomfortable.)
I've been wondering though if Michael Phelps isn't a bit of an exhibitionist because seriously, his always seems to go further down than anyone else's. And I was screaming at the cameraman when they were showing the reactions of the team during the replay, "Pull back to Cleveland, please!" because really, no ass, no matter how fit, looks good just this side of plumber land and bouncing up and down to boot. Not that I'm blaming Phelps for being excited, but really, the cameraman should've exhibited a little restraint.
ita: if you choose not to take Nilly's offer, consider Thailand. Krabi province--not Phuket, which is horribly overdeveloped, but Cape Phra Nang, which is somewhat more rural, with bungalow complexes under the coconut palms. Rock-climbing, snorkling, gorgeous white sand beaches, kayaking. It's really beautiful and pretty cheap -- or at least it was 10 years ago when I was there. Another option is the islands: Ko Phi Phi on the west coast, or Ko Samui on the east.
Winter is the high season, but I think the monsoon is probably over by now...
Brenda, I hope your dad is OK.
Many vibes to your dad, brenda!
Yikes, Brenda- I hope your dad is OK. ~ma to you all, I know it's been a tough time lately.
Belated happies to Aimee! Hope it was a good one. Sorry about the car crap though. That's no way to spend a birthday!
ita, um, I'd take Suela's offer over mine.
brenda, lots of hope-it-gets-as-well-as-possible-as-easily-and-quickly-as-possible to your father (and you, of course).
Aims! I wasn't online on your birthday, so happy third-day-of-your-new-age!
Best wishes for your dad Brenda.
Subatomic plush toys, cool!

I am, however, disappointed that the plush nucleons are not zippered covers that contain little up and down plush quarks.
The toys are cute.
I found my elementary school huge crush on CouchSurfing (actually, my CSer found him, looking for a hosts).
I'm pretty much shocked. Regardless to that I really, really don't find him attractive now, I hate it when the past sneak up on my like this.
Geez.
Post-weekend catchup, done. Woo. Also gronk.
And timelies!
