- I ran FOUR MILES on Saturday while I was watching the swimming events. I just kept thinking, IF THEY CAN SWIM FOR FOUR MINUTES AND BE THE BEST IN THE WORLD I can run another lap.
- Paul says things like : "DUDE. SHE FELL. HOW CAN THEY GIVE HER 15.4?"
- All the commercials are inspiring. I cannot decide is I should sign up for a Visa card or fly to Beijing and wave an American flag around.
- All the commercials have the best music ever invented "I've got soul, but I'm not a solider………"
- Our DVR records over 12 hours per day. We get to fast forward to the good parts. And by good parts I mean the whole damn thing.

omg, i love that song/commercial too. and i’m happy to see that i’m not the only one who loves the olympics. except the broadcasting sucks over here because they aren’t showing the sports I like to watch. can you believe I had to watch swimming on the highlights and not the real thing? ugh. damn taiwanese television.

Oh my stinkin’ heck! I am right there with you on every single point, except for the running. Maybe I should try watching at the gym! I loooove that commercial; I love that it is not just people “winning,” it is people Winning… if you know what I mean.
My friend qualified for the finals today… finals are tomorrow and I’m jumping out of my skin!LikeLike

I agree with all the above.
But I have been trying to catch them myself and never thought to program them in my DVR.
GREAT IDEA.LikeLike
