After a day kicking all ass in a non-party deposition, I come home and see men's volleyball on the Olympics. This is something amazing to me. All kids in the US play volleyball, and here is the country's very best of those players. There are no professional teams to look forward to, this is the pinnacle event for these players, going up against the best in the world, just once every four years. What does Nilda want to watch? CSI.
Nilda may not like indoor men's volleyball, but we both love women's beach volleyball. Maybe it's the amazing team of May-Treanor and Walsh, who have been unreal and had a great win against Belgium tonight. I'm not sure why I like it.
The Chinese believe that these Olympics are the most important event in their recent history, and will usher in a new era for China in the modern world. It was no coincidence that the opening ceremony took place on 8/8/08 at 8:00 pm, given China's belief in the special nature of the number 8. All indications are that China may very well have accomplished their goal, as it is unquestionable that they have done an amazing job of hosting the Olympics. They have done such a good job that I haven't even finished the last two episodes of the first season of Mad Men. Impressive, China. Very impressive.

I could see why you like women's beach volleyball. Walsh has the best looking athlectic body I've seen in the Olympics - long, lean and toned, not like the gymnasts or swimmers. ew. She may not have Latina curves, but she's still pretty hot. =)
So you don't think the CGI during the opening ceremonies, or the shenanigans with the lip-syncing 5-year-old, have actually served to undermine what the Chinese are trying to accomplish?
(Not to mention the 13-year-old girl gymnasts!)
p.s. LOVING the Lumbergh av!
