Synchronized diving is new to me. It's fascinating.
I can't say I'm that interested in it as a sport, but I'm terribly interested in it as double cabana boys.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
They seem to be showing much more synchronized diving this year than usual. From other years, I think I remember them showing two or three dives -- the Americans and whoever won -- but it seems like this year they're showing all of the dives.

I'm back. Did you even notice I was gone?
I was at my friend's festival, and a folk festival. Right now I am trying not to scratch mosquito bites and trying to enjoy the last hours of freedom before going back to work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think its because there is a benevolent diety and s/he wants me to get to look at those Chinese and Russian boys as much as possible.
Of course, not so benevolent that I am spared Cynthia Potter and her whinety-ness.

Oh, yes!

You know what is pathetic? At home with DSL loads noticeably faster than work for just about everything. Not sure if it is my shitty browser or our work traffic is that bad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's because everyone at work is watching the olympics.

I'm sorry, I am trying to watch the men's synchro diving with y'all, but the NBC coverage is making me crazy.

HAH.
Actually, it's probably somewhat the rest of the world looking at us.
We're supposed to get a hyuge HD lcd installed for presentations in our special room (it has been in receiving for weeks. And we delivered it ourselves!) We're calling it our "operations display." NOT our TV.
I told my boss today I was deeply disappointed that they didn't install it in time for the Opening Ceremonies. Because that would have rocked. But of course, we won't use it for stuff like that. Nuh-uh. (But I am SO getting the most insane screensavers and desktops loaded on our PC to make sure we use it to its capacity.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
To quote Bull Durham, "I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter." Pitchers are good at throwing the ball. Hitting, not so much. Since the '70s, the American League allows an extra player to hit in place of the pitcher. In the National League, pitchers hit. It takes more strategy, and it is the way God intended baseball to be played.
