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."

Carl Lewis as Tyra Banks back in the day *snerk*

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.

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.

The British presentation was kind of lame until they dcided Led Zepplin makes everything cooler.

Plei, I'm all a-blush now, but I have to agree with meara on the total adorability of glasses woman.

Alibelle, thank you so much for the compliment. It's students like my babydyke diver that are the reason I try to tolerate staying at that evil, abusive, micromanaging, pit-of-despair school.

meara...thanks for the advice. I'll guide the babydyke diver as much as I can and pass on your information.

Barb...thanks for the encouragement for babydyke diver, too. I'll let her know about the people cheering her on and that are waiting to see her in 2012.

I was thinking there would be people that appriciated the high jumper with glasses

and I'm sure you will all admire our floor

Timelies all!

Quiet day here. I'm going to finally watch the movie I got from Netflix back in June.

HAWT FLOOR. What finish did you use?

Glasses girl is cute!

I suppose I could legitimately complain about how difficult it is to clean my floors if I washed them more than once every <mumble> months.

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.

For reasons that are beyond me, Oxygen is the one channel I get that airs everything on East Coast time, rather than West Coast time. So when I got home at five, Stick It was on. Twice in a row. So irritating. And I didn't learn about this fluke until the night before, so I didn't have a chance to go buy a video to record it.

I cannot believe that Franny is five. That's just crazy talk.

Pretty floor, beth!
