Wasn't it touching seeing Valeri Liukin crying when at Nastia's medal ceremony?
so very very
And I kind of love that kid.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

TCG tried to avoid hitting him and lost control of his car.
Oh, ugh, I know just how scary that is. Give TCG a hug for me.
I stayed up late to watch the women's all-around and now I have a vente (20 oz.) caramel macchiato to make the gronk go away. Not sure it's going to work.

Oh, sj, I'm so glad he's ok! How scary!

Poor TCG. I'm glad he wasn't seriously hurt. And congrats on the new aunthood, askye! It's an enjoyable state.
Speaking of aunthood, a semi-related family conversation:
Sis: So your niece has decided to study vocal performance instead of law, with a minor in teaching.
Me: Cool! She can perform on Broadway, get out before her coke habit gets too bothersome, then teach at Interlochen. Excellent plan!
Sis: Right. That's exactly the career arc we're hoping for.

sj, I'm very glad to hear TCG is okay. Accidents are scary, and I hope he's not too shaken up.
GC + DW! YAHOO!
Congratulations to Auntie askye!

Y'all stayed up for the medal ceremony TOO?? Dude. I hit the sack once the floor routines were over and the medals decided. Yeesh. That was on too late at night. (One more reason to be annoyed it was tape delayed on the west coast--live here, it STILL would've been after 10pm by the time it was over!!)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
TCG and the car in front of him shifted lanes at the same time. Then the car in front of him slammed on his breaks.
Ugh. I played that game this morning too, on a wet highway no less. People! If you have to slam on your brakes after changing lanes, you might want to open up some space before getting over!
I'm glad to hear TCG is okay, if shaken and down a vehicle.

Sorry to hear about TCG, sj.
Congrats to GC and wife!

Yikes SJ! Glad he's ok. Calm~ma for y'all as you get through this. One car down is not a fun thing.
I'm at work. Would rather still be in bed. The thunderstorm show was better than the Olympics last night (and that's saying something!). It was like fireworks, a drum corp, and, and, oh hell I dunno what else. But it sounded AWESOME

shit! why won't that close?? Oh right, it can't!
