Besides WWTP reports that made me drool and whine for a DVD, I’m dying for T&T activities. This drought is worse than those previous ones for some reasons. I feel kinda lost, like I have nothing to do or to look forward to. It seriously sucks when they don’t have regular stuff together..AT ALL! (well, DXing doesn’t count because we can’t see when it’s happening LOL).

Even golf is boring, because Tiger Woods is not playing -”-

So I resumed my bad reading habit. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop until I fell asleep around 3am. And once I finished one book, I grabbed the next one -”- This habit combined with the Beijing 2008, I’m pretty much sleep deprived for the past few weeks. *yawns*

I saw it on LJ that they’re going to sell permanent account again later this year. At first, I want it so that I don’t have to worry about it again whether they’re going to add bajillion ads to basic account or not. But would it be $175 (if they’re not raising their price) well spent considering I hardly go to LJ lately? Heck, I don’t even check my email lately. I think one main reason that I’m kinda inactive in LJ is because of I don’t have 100+ icon spaces anymore. Sounds stupid but I love my shiny icons, so when my choices were down to 6, I got bored.

Work-wise, I was really busy pretty much because I was out of my office a lot on meeting/seminars/workshops that I didn’t really have time to be a lazy bum.

I watched SAW movies over the past week. All 4 of them. I think I like the first one the best, just because it was the most unexpected one. SAW II made me giggle because of that macho guy. SAW III was nice since they gave us some answers, but after watching this one, I was like, ehh.. How could the story continue with *beeeeeeep* Hence, SAW IV got me tricked about the time line, I was confused for a big while before I got a clue. And now I want SAW V!! XD

Oh well, yes, the films are all gruesome, but you’ve gotta give it to the writers for coming up with all these different ways to kill people ^^” One thing I like about SAW is that they actually gave us some answers (unlike The X-files that the-truth-is-out-their-but-they’ll-never-tell-us xD), everything is linked together. On the other hand, why the hell couldn’t ANYONE survive? >_<” It’s always be test after test after test that eventually the person who played the ‘game’ would fail..

Heroes is coming back next month, thank goodness! Last season got cut short because of that writer strike so I can’t wait for the story to continue.

Writing about my jury duty experience last week, will probably post it soon.

But for now….

I’m bored.

Gotta love these games. The opening night was so grande~

There are so many exciting moments, especially in swimming where so many records were broken. Michael Phelps is nuts. That sums it all… xD The way he always emerges from water and takes the lead was just brilliantly C.R.A.Z.Y!

I think so far the best event was when the US men beat the French in 4x100m freestyle relay. Oh yeah, after the French said they’re going to smash the American :P

Aaron Peirsol! ♥ I really like him since Athens 2004 because he always seems so relax and basically doesn’t really pay much attention to what happened besides snatching 3 golds from previous Olympics along with that weird DQ called by French(?) judge. It’s just unbelievable how he came back and won 100m backstroke, setting a new WR ^^

BTW, that Korean boy, Park Tae-Hwan bounced back nicely from his mistake 4 years ago when he fell into the pool and disqualified himself with false start. ^^;

However, for the life of me, I just couldn’t bring myself to merely like the US gymnastics teams, yes, TEAMS, both men and women. They’re just too dramatic for my taste as if they’re on reality TV show all the time. It’s really annoying. Stop looking for camera or talk to the camera all the time, dude. Shut up and pay attention to the game.

I was really happy China won both team events ^^

On the men’s team final night, I stayed up past midnight, cheering for the Chinese while cursing the German for not being able to made higher scores on all 3 pommel horse routines to snatch bronze medal after 2 disastrous routines from the first two US men… BTW, when the Chinese were on high bar, I had to step from the couch and watched it from the kitchen instead. I was that excited LOL

Anyway, I think the other big reason why I don’t like the US gymnastics teams is because the commentators. Ok, granted that they’re NBC, so they rooted for the American, but let’s be at least FAIR! They’re just soooooo biased towards the US girls. Last night, when the Chinese made a slight mistake, they said.. oooh big, major, huge deductions. When their scores came out not low enough, they started whining, called the judging panel ‘looser’. On the contrary, the US girls are soooo good, world champions, high starting points, complex routines blah blah. Duh, their executions were not that clean to get super high scores and other countries had difficult routines too..

It’s kinda mean but I was very pleased when Alicia Sacramone fell of BB and the commentator could only utter ‘and just like that’ and went dead silent. Man, silence is gold! And when she fell after her second tumbling on floor exercise, I smirked at another ‘ughhhh’ and ‘that..that is a disaster’ from the commentators.

And I dislike that old timer Romania coach, Bela Karolyi. I hate the way he appeared on the screen with his harsh comments. Sour grapes.

Almost 8, I’d better go get ready for tonight’s (so-called) live broadcast!

What’s your favorite sports? :)

It takes me about 10-15 minutes to drive to my office in the morning, and most of the time I’m still half asleep even after taking a shower ^^; so I need something to pump me up. Being a sucker for ballad, more than 70% of the songs on my ipod are easy listening, yeah, lullaby type. XD

I tried putting my ipod into shuffle mode, but whenever I did that, I would skip skip skip most songs until I found T&T song to listen to. So I ended up switching back to my regular T&T playlists. LOL

Anyway, just out of curiosity,
if you have to pick top 5 T&T songs to wake you up in the morning, what will they be? ;)

My random 5 for today are: Himegoto, DMC, Words of LOVE, Diamond, KTT

Basically, something to shake my brain up XDD
