Yay, aurelia is back!!

Wow, I am having severe about-to-turn-40 anxieties today.

So far, it's been good for me, but I understand the anxieties. I still have moments when I'm like, "I'm 40?! How the hell did that happen? How is my age in a decade that starts with a 4??"

There is now color in the sky. It is no longer black.

Alas, the night is over, and the work I was supposed to finish during it, not so much. Sigh.

What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and, um, the sun is the sun. Or something.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign was undone by a clash of personalities more toxic than anyone imagined. E-mails and memos—published here for the first time—reveal the backstabbing and conflicting strategies that produced an epic meltdown.

Oh, poor Nilly. I hope it eases up soon.

These high bar routines are insane.

t shallow I'd like to state for the record that Phelp's teeth unnerve me. I don't know why. t /shallow

Jonathan Horton is amazing. i'm so glad to see him do that routine perfectly after watching him fall numerous times.

i'm okay with Phelps as long as he doesn't talk.

gah! the Team USA men gymnasts are making me nervous with their crazy release skills!

Thanks, Perkins.

The deadline is on Thursday, so no matter what, handed in or not, I'll get to return to a normal sleep schedule after that. Right now, that seems almost as tempting as the actual, y'know, meeting of the deadline.

[Edit: I'm loving how I get all the Olympics Natter, without getting to watch anything at all - in one way, I have no idea what's going on, but in another, I know all the important stuff. Neat.]

Phelps looks like a Cardassian, and not in a good, slash-him-with-Bashir way. (Although, really, with Gul Dukat, it was all about the personality, not the looks.)

Perhaps I just need to see pictures of him where he's not doing that freaky neck thing.
