Scrappy, he does and it is. (Sometimes, I ride the bus with a hot guy who has the Clay/Gift kind of beauty. Only on the bus, and reading awesome-looking books of the geeky sort. Bus Crush is the hottest of all.)
Barb, wow. That's insanely uncool.

Dude... seriously UNCOOL behavior at Olympics Taekwando match
Very true. And yet the part that stood out to me in that article was the mention of the "WTF secretary." I totally did not read that as World Taekwando Federation on first glance, and it made the incident a little bit funnier. To me, at least.

This seems like a shout out to Hillary's 3 a.m. ad (if Plei got it then, the East Coast was about 3 a.m.).
I am working today and the campus is full of undergraduates moving back into the dorms -- which means that their parents are here and all these people are sitting in my favorite spot and making the line long at the coffee place. Drat.

OMG y'all we detoured off the thruway, then there was a wreck which shut down the road we had detoured on, so we detoured again and we have been on these tiny local country roads in our big ginourmous bus and I have no idea where we are or how late I will now be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So none of the networks are showing the Obama/Biden event?!

I'm pretty pleased about Biden (my text came at 2:47, FTR). I do think he shores up Obama on not just foreign pol but with the "white working class" voter that Clinton claimed. I'm not a fan of his ties to the banking industry, what with everything going on these days, but Delaware, so I guess it's unavoidable. And he's got solid cred on a number of other issues - Violence Against Women Act and pay equity, etc.
What makes me most excited though is that it makes it look like Obama is really looking to engage, rather than be too conciliatory. Biden's an attack dog in the very best way - his instinct is to fight and argue, and not to mince words, but he's got the smarts and the cred to back it up.
I don't doubt there'll be some cringe-worthy gaffes in there too, but I'm not too concerned.
This is gonna be a fun ride, y'all.

Finally got around to watching the gymnastics gala. Such fun! The Chinese tumbling and trampoline team was amazing, as were the martial arts tumblers. Still don't get rhythmic gymnastics, especially when they choose Céline Dion songs--yuck!
