I'm glad i decided to *ahem* this because NBC only thought we needed to see about 5 minutes of it.
I watched it on Oxygen, which is where I watched most of the equestrian events as well as the field hockey gold medal match. They covered gymnastics every day of the Olympics.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And I didn't realize it until I found myself thinking "why aren't we all nattering about the incredibly adorable wee Aussie twink in the diving?",
Wasn't he? I was totally gobsmacked. Unbelievable achievement. Seriously. We pick up the odd few medals in the pool, but not for jumping into it.

There are no pan asian supermarkets down in hell, so you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts.
I don't know what the US coverage is like, but the Australian news just showed the adorable twinky diver celebrating with his partner including the hugging in the stands. I can't remember how to do Paul Gross Arms here, so just imagine that the rest of this post is made up of them.

They just showed her at the closing ceremonies still wearing her glasses.

Almost makes me wish I was watching the Olympics, but then I'd have to listen to the announcing and so on, so not.

Happy belated birthday, Frances!
And oh, that was a glimpse of Nilly. I really hope to catch you on the phone sometime soon.
Yesterday was Mom's birthday, and also, a day I spent 8 hours on a car/bus. In a country where it takes 6 hours to get from the very far North to the very far South, mind you.

“Not dead yet!”
Bolt annoyed me, but at least he won, unlike the Brit dude. His excuse was that he'd never found himself in first-- my coaches back in the day wouldn't have ever taken that as an excuse. They would've been all, "Act like you belong. Always act like you belong."

GG, I'm going to be pulling for your babydyke diver-- if she does make it to London, she'll have a huge cheering contingent of invisible fans.
It's 9:05 in the morning and Jasmine and Pisces are going the Doggyapolis 500 through the house. It's too early for this nonsense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They just showed her at the closing ceremonies still wearing her glasses.
??? The closing ceremonies aren't until tonight -- oh, right.
Arrrg, why does it have to be Sunday today?
??? There's still one more day of weekend -- oh, right.
