One of the local anchors on the news after the Olympics live broadcast says "Oh-lympics." It's driving me crazy. But this is not stopping me from wasting the night watching this stuff, oh no. Sigh. God, I'm so weirdly obsessed with the Olympics. Swimming is just addicting. And not just because, you know, swimmers (incidentally, I'm irritated by the new outfits, as no one wears the thigh-length ones anymore. Stupid record-setting Speedos. They're stupid anyway; that's why everyone is breaking records left and right. The swimsuits).
In other random ass confusion news, McCain is running an add that says that because the Real Obama is promising to raise taxes and government spending, there will be fewer American jobs. It is just me, or does this just not make any sense? I mean, really. That makes no damn sense.
I shouldn't say I wasted the day entirely: I did clean the bathroom upstairs which was... disgusting. But then it got to be about 6:00 and I was going to watch TV maybe through Scrubs at 7:00 and 7:30 and get some dinner in the process. And I'm still sitting here... Because damn swimming and men's team gymnastic finals. Which I wish weren't going on at the same time as these races, because I want to watch them. Fie. I could be watching them online, I just realized. Ah well. (nbcolympics.com streams all the events live. So, like, handball between two countries you've never heard of. It's awesome).
Phelps not mouthing the words during the anthem: Clearly, he hates America. Damn commie. Amirite? Because I am.
