Oh, my blog posts will be short and few these next two weeks. Hi, my name is Diane, and I'm an Olympic junkie. I'll watch nearly anything if it's Olympic. Gymnastics? I love watching the tumbling and near-falls. Swimming? As a kid it was the sport featured in my gold-medal dreams, before I discovered I was short, slow, and klutzy. Diving? Hoo boy, look at 'em twist and tumble—and how do those 10-meter divers manage not to crap their pants every time they look down from the platform? And we haven't even started the track-and-field or taekwondo or archery or rowing competitions yet.
Thanks to the joy of TIVO, I don't have to watch all the commercials, all the "human interest" stories, all the replays and interviews. I don't have to stay up until 1:30 am to see the end of live competition. I don't have to procrastinate on Chapter 17 by writing in my blog....
Whoops! I think there are pretty horses jumping for gold! See you later!

Ahhh, TIVO must be nice. I'm staying up way too late watching live coverage.

I like to say, you can have my TIVO clicker when you pry it from my cold, dead hands....
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. Sort of.
Diane,
ReplyDeleteI am a total Olympics junkie. I love watching Michel Phelps and Dara Torres.
I enjoy the diving and gymnastics, but be damned if I can tell the difference between two great routines.
The beach volleyball is fast and engaging.
Writing? Oh. Was I supposed to be doing that?
