Things and stuff and such. No, seriously.
Okay, so things and stuff. In no particular order.

Einstein was the rightest man ever. He said everything is realtive and it damn well is. See, Israel just got its first medal in the Olympics today and it's bronze. And we're damn happy. Because it's a medal. Other countries? Probably wouldn't really count it because it isn't gold.
I mean, look at the medal chart - it isn't organized by the sum number of medals, is it?
And with that said, congratulations to Shachar Tzubari who was awesome and won the bronze in sailing. You rocked it, baby. And you're a cutiepie all around, so we'll keep on cheering for you. Hope you do even better in London come 2012!

I wonder whether we'll see such a "the host with the most" effect in gold medals in 2012...

I have been catching up on Grey's Anatomy and all its seasons past thanks to the miracle of MP4 players that you can take with you on the bus and to the doctor.
The sum of it is that Bailey? Coolest character ever.
Also, Christina stole one of "my" sayings - I always say I dislike being a teenager even when I was one, and there she goes saying the same. I'm gonna have to insist I was the first in this case, what with Christina being fictional and all.

Pieter. :'(
Yes, still.
On the upside, Ian Thorpe/Pieter van den Hoogenband fic #1 has already been completed (beta? Anyone?) and I've already started on fic #2.

Mom's been here for a visit for a few days now. It started out bad, but it's getting better. I showed her fic #2 this morning. I changed Pieter and Ian's names (too obvious) to Aaron and Ryan (not hard to figure out why if you're into the Olympics' swimming, I guess) and I showed her the fic. Well, what I have written so far which is still not that blatantly slashy.
She said it reminds her of reading John Updike and Philip Roth. That it's a study of human relations of people both analyzable and capable of analyzing. Apparently, she really loved the opening sentence and if she were to encounter this elsewhere, she would definitely want to read it through.
