Bwah! I've missed a lot since I've been doing stuff.... Umm... Yeah. But I did see Mia Hamm in women's soccer! USA V. Brazil! It was awesome!

And then I saw the men's fencing, Italy V. Hungary. WOOHOOO!!! It was so tense!!! The whole "sudden death" match thing... It rocked.

I only realized they were going on after a couple days of sports-themed Google graphics.

Yeah, don't care.

I've been watching them every day so far, it's awesome. ( for those who live in the USA) Did anyone catch at the very beginning of the Olympics before the Opening ceremony, they played one of the songs from the first Jurassic Park movie:LOL.

Synchronized diving and the uneven bars are my two favorites.
It was really sad when one of the guys from the synch. diving team lost his spot in the dive, and then one of the guys from Germany hit his foot on the diving board, I felt sad for them:(But they all did good.

I find I cheer for other countries rather than my own:D;)

Heh, I like to cheer for other countries too. 'Cept in soccer. GO MIA!!! w00t!!!

Did you see that one Japanese guy who was in swimming? He was WAY out in front, no way anybody's gonna catch him! It was cool.

Most of the other guys from Oriental countries seem to fall behind pretty quick, at least from what I've seen.
Y'know what I kept thinking when the guy was running up the steps to light the torch at the opening ceremony. I kept think that he's probably thinking "Don't trip, don't trip, don't trip."

That's what I would have been thinking.

I thought the judges agreed that it wasn't a dolphin kick:shrug, oh well.

Who watched womens US play against Brazil at Soccer? That was brutal. Mia got Yellow carded, and both teams kept fouling each other, sheez, I wouldn't want to be out on that feild.:eekI'd get killed.

.

Dernit. I can't wait till Winter Olympics! That when I generally cheer for USA and Germany.
I love watching the people wipe out on the ski slopes:LOLand I love watching Bob-sleding and Hockey( now that's a brutal sport, and one that I wouldn't mind losing teeth in) it is sooo fun.

I mostly watch the Olympics when I get hungy around 1 am and turn on the TV while my toficken is cooking. I like the watch the Gymastics most because I took Gymnastics for 8 years. It's amazing how tiny those girls are. I mean, it's rare for my to see a girl older than me with smaller boobins. But I love the gymnastics overall, especially when they show the replays in slo-mo because the physics is amazing. I can still do some of the things those girls do, especially the floor routines, but man those girls are tiny, its amazing.
