Nastia Liukin GOLD !!
Shawn Johnson Silver!

Freakin stunning.
I like Shawn and all, and the media freakin gushes over her, but Nastia is just a bad ass. An incredible performance.

I am REALLLLY skeptical that Deng Linlin (womens gymnastics , China) is old enough to be competing in the Olympics. The rules mandate 16yrs old, and there is no way she is 16. Regardless she is kind of a badass...

...and no I don't mean that in a pervy way. As a person who is cursed with the body of a mushy potato, I find gymnastics really ( Read more... )

At some point during the Opening Ceremonies last night, I seriously thought that the Mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind was going to land and start letting out aliens. I really wouldn't have been suprised at all.

Wow. The Casey Anthony / Caylee missing child case couldn't have been better scripted for TV.  Last night I watched an absolutely chilling interview with Caseys grandparents during which you could clearly tell when the grandmother started to lie, by way of her body language. But for about 2/3 of the interview she was totally on point ( Read more... )

I have mentioned a zillion time in here about how played out Shark Week on DiscoChan is, and how the sharks are the media whores of the sea kingdom. Looks like the babe-o-trons over at the Pecanne Log share this view...

My desk shark, however, still
enjoys a high approval rating

One of my favorite perks of being a no job slacker is getting to watch The Masters live on the teevee. In case you don't already know, Tiger is flailing badly at +1 currently...a whopping 9 strokes off the lead. He'll prolly rally back though...

Just a few notes about some recent teevee:

>I'm not into this show Hells Kitchen with Chef Ramsay. I haven't ever watched it, but I have seen enough from the previews that I don't have to. What this show does is condition workers to accept  verbal abuse. Theres no way the shit I have seen him do in the previews would ever fly with me. If he ever ( Read more... )

I like to watch Law and Order on TNT pretty much every day. There is a little problem though. See, at 4pm Charmed comes on. If I have decided to be on the computer while watching L+O, sometimes the episode ends and then Charmed starts before I have a chance to change the channel. If I see/hear so much as one second of Charmed, the rest of my ( Read more... )

In case you haven't been watching, Breaking Bad (AMC) has been -okay- so far. I can't get over the irony that even in this show the dad from Malcolm in the Middle has to put up with a conniving mom. Highlight of this weeks episode was when the bathtub they were disposing of a dead persons body in (by dissolving it in acid) came crashing through the ( Read more... )

Breaking Bad premier tonight on AMC.
The dad from Malcolm in the Middle becomes a crystal meth cook.
Hijinx ensue, most likely involving an RV, mysterious shadow people you cannot see til you have been up for more than 72, and explosions.

no word on if there will be any marathon djing, or people drifting in and out all hours making too much noise ( Read more... )
