I think I'm with Amy on that one.
I dozed for like 45 minutes on the train home, and am much better. Phew. That was so weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am concerned that Perkins has forgotten what fuckable means. Perhaps a visit to one of the most excellent pic sites that ita hosts would help.

I think Radar is OK-- maybe for a sexless marriage....
I am glad you are feeling better, Jesse.

The choices megan offers are not impressing me either. Then again I always have a hard time with the FCM choices so pay no attention to me.
It feels like Sunday. Just hoping tomorrow is not another Monday.

I don't begrudge athletes the ability to make a living in their field. I just wish they were doing it after the Olympics. That the Olympics were a glimpse of hungry aspiring athletes.
But that's interesting commentary about the older athletes. I'll have to give it some thought.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Bigger countries are going to do better. Duh. Richer countries are going to do better. Duh. Basically, a high medal count means "we're a big rich country" and we really didn't need an Olympics to tell us that. What are you bragging about, Bob Costas?
Or the home country (unless you're Canada), or a Communist country. Or Australia.

I understand the ideal, Liese. There is much debate around here concerning amateur and professional athletes. To compete at that level is more than a full time job, it is a 24x365 job that requires a lot of support. My ideal would be that the competing athletes had the same level of support. The same thing applies to school sports where non-compensated means a whole lot different thing from one environment to another.
The people that we know that have competed for the US, Jamaica, and the Bahamas all trained together in Atlanta. It amuses me that people competing against each other for their individual countries all trained together at the same facility, here.

Hey Jesse, I just saw these spectator-like shoes in a Dillard ad: [link]
And Oxford style pumps were a fall trend in the new Elle. (Though they are not two colour shoes.) Comme ca: [link]
