1. I dropped a plate this afternoon. In fact, I saw it happening right before it happened. The shattered pieces mostly congregated in the same place on the floor -- except for the piece that jumped up 5'6 inches to land on my lip. Yeah, I dunno either. I really thought it was going to end with stitches, but no, just a slight scratch. It's been that sort of week.

2 & 3

2. The Brazilian swimmer won the 50M Free ahead of France, yes? So, it was most interesting to see the Brazilian swimmer walking ahead of Alain Bernard on the deck, and have Alain just reach out and unzip the back of his suit. While they were walking. Um, that's kind of personal, isn't it? To just start stripping somebody in public. Maybe he really couldn't wait for the sex.

3. I know everybody's all thrilled that Michael won that race (100 Free ?) but frankly? I'm not sure he beat Cavic. In fact, I'm pretty damn sure he didn't. Even Michael said he didn't think he'd won orginally. I know they keep talking about that half-stroke versus Cavic just floating in, but it seemed damn questionable to me. I agree with them filing a dispute. If it was my ass, I'd be hot as hell for my medal.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] mardia assures me that there was an electronic touch pad which called the race for Michael and not some myopic official (like back the day). Not that you young bucks would remember those days.

So, a blow job for every gold medal? Somebody's going to get lock jaw.



4. I was sort of trying to avoid evade hide from that Michael Phelps/Ryan Lochte slash, but then [livejournal.com profile] thorn_scratch was all look at the gay! They do photo shoots of lust and interviews and whatnot! I shall prevail. Oh, who am I kidding?

5. I have to say, I had no idea that Water Polo was so damn violent. Every time I try to surf by though, somebody's choking somebody else or somebody looks like they just came out of a night of Fight Club. Damn, people.

6. Dear Psych,

You are so much more awesome this season than you were last season. It's like somebody put the show in a Fast Skin suit and said, "Thou Shalt Be as Gay as the Olympic Male Swimmers!"

And lo, it was all good.

4. *blinks* do you think they helped each other put the oil on? And then after the photoshoot, they helped each other take it off *grins*

5. What happens in Fight Club stays in Fight Club I guess.

1) OW! I hear you on this being that kind of week...

2) Yeah, they're totally doing it.

3) Hm. yeah. I'm not sure either, tho the video playback seems to indicate that phelps did indeed win *another* gold medal.

4) SQUEEEEEE!!! The slash writes itself! I mean, *really*. They *hug in the water*. They *text eachother like 14 yr old girls*! They're practically licking eachother/holding hands/*having sex* in their joint photoshoots! I mean, really!

5) They can't help it, they have to wear bras on their heads as part of their uniforms. The headgear could make the most peace-loving guy surly.

6) OMG YES. Um. See comment 4).

I like you. I'm glad jcalanthe pointed me in your direction :).

I'm with you there, but the commentators were talking about that electronic touch pad that determines placement, so I'm thinking it could be true. I don't blame people for questioning it (because even in slow-mo, I could not tell at ALL) and if they need to file a dispute, so be it.

Touch pad!* I was thinking they needed something like that, and now you tell me it's there. Hooray! Okay, I am back in the YAY! Boat now. The hand is truly quicker than the eye, which was all, err, you sure?

*I guess I missed the talk about the touch pad because I was either drinking or yelling or trying not to yell about blow jobs while drinking.

Oh, dude, water polo is *known* for its violence. There's the infamous "blood in the water (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_In_The_Water_match)" game between Hungary and the Soviet Union in 1956, after the Soviets had violently crushed the Hungarian Revolution, for one.

And yeah, touch pad determines the winners, not visuals. Phelps margin of victory was said to be "a fingernail", which OMG.

Have you seen Ryan's video about what he eats? Okay, I know I'm focused on the food, but Jesus. And, really, 12-year-old boy stuck in a man's body. Chicken McNuggets!

Two items of note:

1. I may have written the Michael/Ryan story today. Maybe. I have to sit on it a day or so to make sure there's nothing that I've left out in this go around.

2. Yes, this go around. As opposed to the inevitable next go around. I'll try anything twice.

3. Nate's book arrived today. I have read 30 pages and am fairly sure that a) I'm in love (with a conservative republican, my parents would weep) and b) that reading this ahead of GK has already explained more about the Marines than I've gleaned from 5 episodes of GK.

Yes, that was three items, don't be picky.

Oh, fuck. This is what I'll be doing tomorrow isn't it? ISN'T IT? Besides reading Michael/Ryan porn and writing Colbert/Fick porn. ::sigh:: FINE.

I'm...fine.
