The Olympics have taken over my brain

I am completely obsessed with Michael Phelps the Olympics.

If you see me online the next couple of weeks, I will probably be pretending I know something about various ridiculous sports, and pretending I know more than I do about swimming.

And possibly ranting about judging. *grins*

If you haven't seen the opening ceremonies yet, you can find video here. It was quite fantastic to watch--people are calling it the most spectacular opening ceremonies ever. So.

Incidentally, this is what I did this weekend, except for a wedding and a bridal shower (in that order, and for two different people).

[livejournal.com profile] supplyship, when do I get my Michael Phelps fan club membership card?

It's not so much his looks (although those aren't bad), it's more the sheer athleticism.

Yeah, totally. There are times when he can look a little dorky! But it's just amazing that someone can be THAT fit. Wow.

Looky! I committed iconage too!

Little dorky and all athletic can be a very nice combo...think Daniel Jackson....

I have no cool icon...*blushes*
