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.

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. :)

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.
