Don't beat yourself up too much about last night. An empty stomach paired with drinks often ends with unpleasant results. Forgive yourself, and I know Bruce will get over it soon, too.

I agree! Food definitely is a requirement if you're going to consume alcohol. It really does hit you much harder when you don't eat. Plus.... it also depends on the types of drinks you're consuming. I find champagne goes straight to my head. I think it's those little bubbles. lol

Okay - I watched some of the Olympics from last night that I taped. I really enjoyed the....uh....artistry and physical skill of the male springboard diving final.

Yes, it is all about the artistry.

When I got home I watched some track #######. That is boring.

I saw very few hot male track stars, that might be the problem.

I love Husain Bolt's impish ways though

I am so over beach VB, as hubby says, WHYWHYWHY must we see every second of EVERY MATCH when surely there is some cycling or rowing to watch?

I hate Misty May & Walsh. I hope they lose.

I am so over it too - I went on a rant about it the other night and hubs was like "oh I'm really enjoying it, it's a great sport" I am very suspicious of that statement.

I love the way the "hand signals" is an excuse to show close-ups of their butts. Do they show crotch shots of the catcher in baseball? I think not.

Also, why do they have to hug after every damn point, even if they lose it? STUPID.

Just thinking about how much I like the word "f*cktard". It just sums it up so nicely.

To Do List:

Must read OT thread in UK forum.

Sorry guys. I'm outta here. Sports and politics. No can listen/watch/hear anymore. I am at my quota.

Found this humorous quote:

In the four years since I was last forced to watch beach volleyball, I somehow have not found the maturity and wisdom to take it seriously as an Olympic sport, and, frankly, I doubt that NBC takes it seriously, either, except as a ratings grabber. Every time I turned on the TV, there was May-Treanor (the short one) and Walsh (the tall one), in those silly little Victoria’s Ill-Kept Secret outfits. I now know more about these two women than I know about some of my relatives, including when Walsh met her husband; what’s inscribed on her wedding ring (it flew off her finger during a match, and a fair amount of time was spent keeping viewers posted on the successful Search in the Sand); what the tattoo on May-Treanor’s left shoulder signifies; and when the two of them plan to start families (soon after the Games are over). I’m not questioning Walsh’s and May-Treanor’s abilities—they won the gold medal in 2004 and have won more than a hundred consecutive matches—but I don’t think their every move had to be documented.

Considering the conventions are happening next week you better stay off regular off topic as well. All the political threads will be like the primary season all over again! (so fed up with this election and it's not even "started" yet)
