Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bwah! And, here I was just thinking how beautiful some of the costumes are. NSM in some cases.

Ok. I gotta bitch. I want to watch Haley Ishimatsu's qualifying dives on NBC. But it's asking me to install Silverlight. Can I even do that? Should I?

I have to laugh at the idea that some of those countries have fewer citizens than appeared in the opening ceremonies...

The world is weird.

I'm talking about any small team out to give it a try!

Some of those Middle Eastern and African robes are stunning. I think I could put up with covering my head if I could do it in scarlet with gold embroidery.
