Ha!


The breaking news is that the IOC is finding proof that at least one of the Chinese gymnasts is too young. Take that! Got caught, being 14 didn't ya? They'll catch the rest of them too.

ha ha!

The gymnastics are done


Yay for Shawn! I'm so pleased that she got a gold. It would have been awfully disappointing if she'd gotten another silver after all that work. It's been a lot of fun to watch gymnastics, even though the Chinese girls are universally agreed to be underage. And even though the scoring has been skewed, according to the people who know about that sort of thing. Especially on the women's vault final! That was complete bullshit. You can land on your knees and get a medal? No way.

In general, I wish that NBC would show a better variety of events in primetime. We saw a LOT of swimming, and I know there was a lot of Phelps hype, but come on! I would have really liked to have seen some Tae Kwon Do. I didn't need to see 10 different qualifying races.

On a different note, why is it that my hair feels so nice after a haircut? I know that the ends are nice and tidy now, but what is the magic stuff that make my hair so nice and smooth? I'm sure the salon would sell it to me, and I'm sure that it costs many more dollars than I'd pay. But it's nice while it lasts. :)
I dreamed last night that I was at a grocery store with Mike and Donald. It was a very large store, and I was unfamiliar with the layout. I wanted to buy peanut butter, but all I could find was an endcap with enormous Costco size jars. So I kept looking for the regular sized jars. At one point I thought I found them, but it turned out to be salsa. A security guy in a suit came over and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was looking for peanut butter, and he left. Also, Anna was with us at the store, just running around on the ground following us. I had the memory that I'd brought her to the store before, but she rode in the shopping cart that time.

So that was weird.

Nadia Comaneci PERFECT TENS

Wow! It was a very different event then.



It's even more amazing that I actually posted this several days ago, and it appeared today for no damn reason.

Finished!

I finished my bag! Sunday I kept going up, adding another stripe. Monday I rested, and Tuesday I put the strap on. It went pretty fast, and ended up looking fairly tidy. At least it did on the outside. So my completely made up crocheted bag was a success.

Olympics project

Here is my work so far on my Olympics yarn project. Top picture is progress 8-8, bottom is 8-9. When finished, it will be a small bag. In my mind it was going to be larger, but somehow ended up small. Oh well! I will probably finish it up in a few days and start another one, since it's so small.

I've been watching many various sports so far. Men's gymnastics, swimming, team volleyball and beach volleyball, scull rowing, and cycling. Looking forward to diving and women's gymnastics, as well as BMX biking.
