The Olympics have taken over my brain

[holdouttrout]

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).

supplyship, when do I get my Michael Phelps fan club membership card?

See, and I was just grumpy that while we were watching the opening ceremonies (with alcohol and snarky commentary), apparently I MISSED the one event I was really wanting to catch other than men's water polo. That being women's saber.

On the other hand, I felt very smug about the USA's first three medals. Hooray for swashbucklers!

Indeed. I know that you can find the video from just about anything online...if you still want to see it!

Oh, I know that the NBC Olympic website has the videos, just that you can't skip around in them. So I'd really have to sit through 5 hours of fencing when I really just want to start from the quarter-finals. (I think I'd be more willing to watch all 5 hours if I didn't already know the outcome.)

My life is hard. :)

Yeah. Five hours is a little much.
