I’ve been so hyped up for this all summer. I was warning my roommates about the extreme amount of Olympics I like to watch. I just turn it on and settle down on the couch for five hours. No sport is too obscure (CMSNBC, here I come!) I think I actually scared Ash a little with my insistence on all Olympics all the time for these three weeks.

I was also getting made fun of at work last night because I was upset about missing the opening ceremonies. What? I like the opening ceremonies. People walking around in circles, countries I’ve never heard of, weird thingies on stilts, it’s all good. I like everything Olympics. I endure a lot for the games, ridicule, hardships (not, you know, as much as the athletes, but close I’m sure.) I mean, have you ever tried to hang onto exclusive control of the remote control for over three weeks? That’s hardship; that’s dedication, man.

Sports that I’ve caught today:

• Some Men’s swimming: Michael Phelps, aww, I totally am feeling the geek love for Michael Phelps, I think it’s the ears. I also like Ian Thorpe, though all I remembered about him from the last Olympics were his big feet. Why is this the type of stuff that sticks around in my brain?

• Men’s Gymnastics: Dang, I forgot how built some of the male gymnasts can be. I also forgot (or never noticed) that they wear little 80’s style shorts for the floor routine. I was having a real time discussion with Megan via cell phone about whether or not they were warm ups which included the immortal line, “What are they keeping warm? Their crotches?” Did everyone see Blaine Wilson’s fall off the Bar? Ouchie. Even ouchier was the shot NBC showed of an Argentinean dislocating his finger on the parallel bars. Eeee …

• Women’s Swimming: Ooh, how exciting was that 400m IM? Kaitlin Sandeno was so close. Dang. You could see that Yana Klochkova was upset at how close she let that one get.

I missed most of the rest of today, due to work from 9 – 5 and napping from 5:30 to 9:30, but we’re off to a great start!

Wooo! (lots of the woo in upcoming days.)

Quote of the Day

"They have lots of disturbing cross sections of animal reproductive organs"

Worried by

The fact that I just walked upstairs and saw one of my new housemates standing on her desk chair slowly revolving in circles for no apparent reason.
