Oh-lympics

Totally happy for Japan in the men's gymnastics.

2 boys from Wisconsin ROCK. Even though Paul Hamm sounds like he's sucking down helium.

Dammit!

I am missing it all, because the only channel (of the 3 local channels) that we don't get, is the one showing the olympics. Wishing for cable, or at least a decent antenna!

Man, we don't get CBS, which means that I haven't seen David Letterman in almost 3 years.

Tonight was the first I watched. I was inspired by Jaala.

We're taping it all. I can send them later, so it won't be as exciting, but it would be there. Also, my mom just bought and antenna so she could watch the Olympics and it was about $20 or under. Not a huge expense, but huge if you have no $. I'm in that boat with you myself right now...
ps I've been meaning to tell you, I lost one of my tiny needles on vacation, so am not doing much with the necklaces right now. I suspect the wool will not hold up structurally, so my next effort will be with that hardy crochet stuff made for doilies. When I get some new tiny needles.

Yay! I'm glad I inspired you. I agree with you on both counts--go Japan and go twins. I've heard a bunch about Paul Hamm and didn't even realize he had a brother until last night. Sorry, Morgan.

He must feel that way too. But both of them kept being touted out for the events. And that little blond guy who did the first floor exercise was cool, too.

I was glad that Morgan did well on that high bar thing. Can't fully understand the high bar thing. I'm sure there are many things the judges look for, and there are a few tricky moves there, but a lot of time, it seems like they're just swinging around in circles. I suppose it takes skill to hang on.
