Wash ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In my family we give presents for un-birthdays, because there are more of them in the year. When inspiration strikes, it's "Hey, I got you something. Happy Un-Birthday!"
When we have lists, we let others know, but there is no obligation to stick to them. I tend to look through lists for things that I would like too. When inspiration fails I default to munchies from HarryAndDavid.com.
There was a Harry & David outlet store in the outlet mall on the way to my parents' new place. This summer we had oodles of Moose Munch. Mmm.

I think I have a new default, now, too!
Nastia Liukin is one classy woman.
In Men's 400 Hurdles oh, they could not be cuter about that sweep! I have never seen such a pile of happy in all my life. and I've got to say, that was some refreshing God thanking. They talk about being blessed to be there and to have the support of the country but they don't make it sound like the Almighty is picking sides in athletic contests.
Video of a vampire bat running. Yes. They RUN.
And, um, if someone could come beat the fuck out of the guy next door who is using a jackhammer to tear up his patio at 8:40 at night? That would be awesome.
Thanks, Tiggy!
I am giggling over the fact that Kat is a L.E.G.S. gymnast. And how cute is Noah? TOO CUTE.
And I want Jesse to be my Olympics pal because I can't wait for rhythmic gymnastics either. (At the last studio we had our ballroom dancing classes at, there was a kids rhythmic class. Those girls are so bendy it's sick. And amazing.) Or trampoline. And even more artistic gymnastics, where I want super-adorable Shawn Johnson to score a gold. I realize it's not a lock on beam, and I'd settle for silver, but I'd like her to have a gold of her own.

I'll be there on Thursday!
Gymnast people, I have some questions.
When the coaches walk up to the equipment to spot during an exercise and then walk away, just what is going on?
Is it that the element is particularly tricky and they're ready to break a fall? Or is the coach there to help the athlete focus on something as they spin? Or is it something else entirely?
And in trampoline, why does the coach (I guess) stand at the side with a big mat? Is it to help the tramp stop bouncing if something goes haywire?
