Dear Kaitlin's DVR (which shall now be known as Peter),
Is it possible for you to just record the races of Michael Phelps during the Olympics? I don't need seven zillion hours of swimming when Michael Phelps-McHottie-Speedo is the only swimmer I care about.
Oh, but it is cool to record all of the gymnastics stuff. I'm hoping for a repeat of the 1996 USA Women's team. You know, the one where we won the gold medal WITH Kerri Strug's hurt ankle? And a 16 year old Dominique Moceanu (who I still stalk via the internet) who was awesome for being so young before our entire team consisted of girl's who can't vote (ok, not ALL of them are under 18). We have a strong team this year and we better freaking own. This is the only sport I truly care about at the Olympics so please, don't fuck this up (to the team and to Peter, my DVR. Peter, I'll kill you if you ruin my recordings of the gymnastics stuff... after watching all of the aired episodes of season 4 of BSG again and the episodes of My Boys that I haven't watched yet).
Also, I wouldn't mind another Mary Lou Retton or Carly Patterson (the only two American women to win gold medals in the all-around competition).
Love always,
Kaitlin
