Just surfacing...

Guys, I am soooooo freaking obsessed with the Beijing Olympics right now. I'm watching it like, I dunno...just about every second I'm not sleeping, in the shower, or working out at the gym? Scaaary. I'm so not a sports nut usually (bad memories of being picked last for everything but volleyball in gradeschool gym class), but I always love the Olympics. Sooo great. I got all teary after Nastia Liukin finished her floor routine in the All-Around. She was amazing...so graceful. Shawn Johnson was brilliant as well and it was so cool to see the US finish 1-2 in that event. Currently I'm watching the US women's softball team cream the Canadians in a rematch (they were rained out the other day). I've just found Jennie Finch's blog (she's the star pitcher), so you should check it out. It's a rare glimpse into an Olympic Champion's personal experience, day-to-day.

Oh, and since this is my first post here and I'm basically suckass at keeping up with any sort of journal, you can check out my main Livejournal, too, if you want. I pretty much rattle on about the same things...

My brother is babbling on the phone to me about absinthe and has been for about an hour and a half. I think he's high on it; it does supposedly contain a hallucinogen. I really don't know how it's legal again. Most of the brands sold here now don't have Grande Wormwood, but Lucid does. He's freaking out, he says. Well, he's only boring me. LOL. I do want to try it, though. I've been curious ever since I watched the absinthe-drinking scene in Moulin Rouge, in which Kylie Minogue played the green fairy once they were all fucked up, ha ha. It looked like fun. Anyway, my brother blew $60 of his very meager cash flow on a bottle of Lucid and he won't shut up about it. He just said, "I'm glad my name isn't Jesus, 'cause then I'd be all fuckin' holy an' shit." And then he laughed his head off. Brilliant. That's why I love him. He says the table is moving and he's having a hard time eating his rice. Freak.

Oooh, NBC Olympics just sent me a text to let me know that Venus and Serena Williams will be playing in like 2 minutes...I can't seem to find it on TV, though. Lame.

Oh, by the way, we won the softball game. I've just been kinda browsing here...I've probably been writing this post for forty-five minutes...haha. I can't seem to stop obsessing, looking up stuff online while I'm watching TV, too. I'm watching Nastia Liukin on the balance beam again. She was amaaaazing.

*sigh*
