irl Olympics

[lilartichoke]

So you guys checking out any of the events?
What are your favorite events?
Did you watch the opening ceremony?


I've never really cared so much about the olympics. Well I'd watch track and field and gymnastics, some swimming. You know all the big ones. My boyfriend, however loves all things sports so the olympics are always on in the background.
I watched women's sabre (fencing) and the american ladies took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. And the number 1 lady in the world got beat by the number 5 lady and her own "teammate" I guess. Exciting stuff.
Now we are watching women's volleyball, and I just want to say, Those bitches are HUGE!!! I bet I'd look like a child standing by most of them. Lol.

So what's your olympics good times so far?

I caught the swimming when I was on lunch at work, and Dressage, which made me giggle. The olympics kinda bore me really. I like my sport punchier. Like Rugby.

DVR'd it, but I haven't sat down and watched yet. I did see the women's volleyball bit on the news with the president. That was hilarious xd

I was disappointed that the men's beach volleyball wasn't played in a tiny bathing suit, like the women's is.

I like the swimming. I liked watching the Latvians beat the US in men's beach volleyball.

Brisco County Junior!

That's the theme NBC has been using for the commercials and stuff. I knew I knew that song but I couldn't place it!

My father called me after I took a bath in the evening. I only saw the blocks, which was badass. Then, I went to my cousin's house to sleep-over for the MCs. xD

I sleep-over on their house once-a-week.

What is dressage?

Dressage is kinda like interpretive dancing on horseback. Riders cue their horse to move to music. A lot of fancy gaits, flying lead changes, and side passing. It's actually pretty boring to watch most of the time xp

Here's one that's actually pretty good.

You lie! they have silly names for all the moves. We spent 30 minutes discussing what the different moves would be which was fun biggrin

I can appreciate the training that goes into it, but it's about as exciting as watching grass grow imo confused

I think it was one of those moments of "you had to be there" really. We were in stitches^_^

En-gur-lund sucked a bit at the gymnastics today. Though we got womens cycling!
