bye bye gymnastics
In: sports
23 Aug 2004I never thought I’d say this but I am *so* glad gymnastics is over in the Olympics. I don’t want to get into it here (because I’m sure I’m just going to get all riled up) so let’s just say I’m feeling disillusioned by the whole Men’s All Around controversy, all the #@!$ protests, and [...]

women’s all around
In: sports
20 Aug 2004Watching the Women’s gymnastics All Around right now. I’ll be doing some running commentary since NBC insists on showing the meet one… rotation… at… a… time.
Aahhh… Svetlana Khorkina. I just love her. She’s such a diva and makes no apologies for it. I still remember when she slapped her teammate in the Sydney Olympics [...]

paul hamm — olympic champion!
In: sports
19 Aug 2004Still very happy for the US gymnasts (both men and women!) on their team silver medals. I just wish that American media would stop harping on the women for not winning the gold. UGH. Yes, they were the gold medal favorites and yes, they were the reigning world champions but I hate reading [...]

19 Aug 2004OMG, I am so glad my boss is not around today. Cause I can’t believe what I’m doing…
I’m watching an Italian live feed of the Women’s Gymnastics All Around final. !!! I just can’t stand waiting until the delayed NBC coverage. I have to know the results immediately. Hehe.
I should so be fired. But really, [...]

In: sports
18 Aug 2004YAYYY!!! The US women gymnasts won the silver!
Oh man, what an exciting meet. I really thought Team USA had a chance but the Romanians were freaking fabulous. Wow. They really were the best team out there.
More thoughtful comments tomorrow… I’m sleepy.
Huh. I can’t seem to rip my new Jamie Cullum CD (highly recommended, [...]

women’s gym prelims
In: sports
16 Aug 2004Yay! Women’s gymnastics is under way! I am, of course, extremely partial to the US team and I’m happy they had a decent showing to finish second in the prelims.
I have to say that I was so impressed by Mo — she was the rock of the team. I’m so happy that she’s performing [...]

day 1 of the olympics
In: sports
15 Aug 2004Saw The Bourne Supremacy last night — good movie but the shaky camera shots made me feel nauseous. I’ll have to rent The Bourne Identity to get more of the backstory.
I am so sad to hear about Craig Kilborn leaving The Late, Late Show. There’s something about the deadpan delivery of his jokes that totally [...]

28 Jun 2004I can’t wait for the Olympics now! I caught the US Olympic gymnastics trials on TV today and it looks like the women are going to have a great team. I’m glad that Courtney Kupets is guaranteed a spot and I’m crossing my fingers that Carly Patterson (my current favorite gymnast) and Mohini Bhardwaj get [...]
