Bow down and worship The Piven
I got my hair chopped off this weekend. No particular reason, it just seemed like a good idea. Got it done yesterday morning, and I'm still getting used to it. It felt very strange to wash it this morning--there just wasn't enough of it. I think this is the shortest I've ever had it. I think I like it... People at work are telling me it's cute, but it still feels weird.
Can I just say how incredibly sick I am of the whole men's all-around gymnastics controvery? It's just annoying me. Part of me, which likes math and reason, thinks that yeah, the South Korean should have gotten the gold. But another part of me believes it is unrealistic to think it's that cut-and-dried. If he had indeed gotten the higher score that he (allegedly) deserved, we have no way of knowing if the rest of the competition would have proceeded in exactly the same way. Obviously, it's regrettable that a mistake was made, but the judges are human. This wasn't some vast conspiracy--it was human error. There's a reason that marks can't be changed after the fact.
But enough about that... Congratulations to Annia Hatch, Courtney Kupets, and Terin Humphreys for the Event Finals medals! And even though I'm not a big fan of hers, I thought it was really sweet that Carly Patterson prepped Courtney's bars for her. Too cute, and a nice indication of their friendship.
Lovedlovedloved the world-record setting 4 x 100 men's medley relay. Aaron Peirsol is just ridiculously delicious, and what a kick-ass first leg he had. Woohoo! I actually went mini-golfing on Saturday night, so I taped all four hours of NBC coverage so as not to miss that race. I ended up seeing it "plausibly live" at my friends' house anyway, but it's nice to have it on tape. :) And I am seriously considering going to the world championships in Indianapolis in October. ageofaquarius, you up for a road trip?
I am in a complete counted-cross stitching frenzy these days. Fun. :)
Loved last night's episode of entourage, although, get the fuck off my TV, Gary Busey. You are an asshat, and I loathe you. I think a big part of what made this ep so great was the increased Piven screen time. Lurve him. He and Eric could bitch at each other for the entire show with nothing else happening, and I would happily watch every week. Oh, and when Ari left the birthday party to go crash tha beach party? The Piven was looking magically delicious in that outfit. Damn.
