Standard CYA Post
But first, the Olympics.
1) Michael Phelps needs to let me have his baby. No, seriously. No, seriously. With his little swim knicker-thingies barely hugging his beautiful, rugged hip bones. *shivers*
2) I'm just grateful we took home the silver in Women's Team Gymnastics. I don't even have it in me to be pissed about the whole thing because we blew it late in the match and the Chinese girls were unbelievable. I mean, holy shit, did you see them on the beam? HOLY SHIT. And, after all, we beat the Russians. I think we can all agree that that's what really counts.
3) The men's 4x200 freestyle: 4.68 seconds better than the previous world record. HOLY SHIT.
4) I'm officially on board with this whole Redeem Team thing we've got going on. Coach K, I hate your school and everything they stand for, but if you could keep these NBA yahoos in line right up until that Gold Medal, I would really appreciate it.
In other news, I'm checking out of the 'real' hotel in a couple of hours. I know that there's internet in the hostel for a fee, but I don't know if it's a token fee or an arm-and-a-leg-first-born child fee. And I was told that there is access in Greenland. I just don't know where or when. So, um, worst case scenario? I'll be back on September 2nd.
I'm pretty sure, like 90% sure, that that's not going to be the case. But in case it is, don't worry, I haven't actually fallen off the face of the earth. Unless Greenland counts as off the face of the earth.
Also, if my summer gen fic comes up, and I don't comment, I'm not actually an ungrateful ass. I'm just in fucking Greenland.
