Aug. 16th, 2008 11:27 pmAnti-patriot though I am, I find myself really happy for Michael Phelps.
I wasn't even planning to pay attention to these Olympics -- I haven't watched since I was a kid -- but it's what's on when I'm at the gym, and when I get home from bridge on nights like tonight, and even if I want to be all cool and ambivalent like everyone else, I can't help it. It's exciting. Well, the swimming and gymnastics, anyway. And those are pretty much over, so I guess I don't give a shit about the Olympics anymore after all. But still, yay for Michael Phelps.
My fingertips itch, and that is an ANNOYING feeling.
We played in a KO with UK and Mullet today. We'll write about it on DoubleSqueeze when we get some time, but Z and I are both pretty fucked up at the moment from the allergy pills we just took. But here's a teaser that shouldn't be surprising: we're in the semis tomorrow. Bracket II -- with 11,111 points, we actually weren't even close to the bracket I cutoff. Meh.
We got our plane tickets to Oregon. We're leaving from DC on 9/16 and returning on 10/14. For one week, we'll be at the Seaside regional, but we don't have concrete plans for the rest of our time there. All I know is I really want to go to Seattle and BC.
I thought I had something else worth reporting here, but I think the allergy pill knocked it right out of my head, whatever it was. Sigh.
Peace.
