Rachel Angry!
I'm probably going to stay up all night (though this is not what I'm angry about). Dad is set to wake me up at 3:15 but it's already midnight and I'm not even tired. We have to leave for the airport really early, so perhaps I'll blog in a half-awake ranting kind of way from PDX.
Hmmm what should I do for the next three hours? Drink caffeine? Yes. Watch Hot Fuzz? Yes. Continue to be angry about the Olympics? Probably.
My ancient athletics class this summer has gotten me all excited about the Olympics, especially because it's the summer Olympics which has the ancient events, but the commentators are already trying to "give a little history" and fucking it up. I'm fine with hearing about how cool China has become, or at least the stories of how the country as a whole has overcome so many things, but I don't want to hear about ancient Olympics from Brian Williams (even though I love him to death)! The whole torch relay thing is really pissing me off. I will probably have more to say when events actually begin and all the waiting around time in between races becomes filled with Bob Costas banter. I love him too, though not nearly as much as Brian Williams, but he ain't no classicist!
Ok. Hot Fuzz.
