So That Happened

Cannot. Stop. Laughing.

No, really - I haven't stopped laughing ever since I saw this.

Old-School Olympics Style

I'm kind of obsessed with the Olympics.  I'm recording the prime-time broadcasts AND staying up late to watch various matches.  Is it because I'm watching them in HD this year?  Is it because Michael Phelps is just that awesome?  Or is it because I'm having too much fun casting the TV movie version of the U.S. men's gymnastics team with Dr. No?  (You should hear what we came up with, by the way.)

Proof that I've been loving the Olympics long time: here I am (thanks to Mac Photo Booth) in a 1984 Los Angeles Olympics baseball cap that has managed to not get thrown out of the house.  It's made of foam and mesh and everything carcinogenic, I'm sure, and just look at that pom-pom on top!  Westside REPRESENT!  (Just so you know, I'm wearing the sunglasses not to look cool, but because I took this picture in the morning and I wasn't exactly camera-ready.)

My Apologies In Advance

This is what I think of whenever I hear the words "Super Bowl" (and YES I am fully aware that this team is not playing this year):

And now you will never get this song out of your head ALL DAY.

(My thought on today's game: I admit to not being a fan of either team but I want to see Eli Manning lose more than I want to see Tom Brady win.  Because he is kind of a tool.  Does that make sense?  It does in my head.)

Mr. Manfredi and the Old Grey Lady

I am so very proud of Sara's husband and my friend Richard - he will be featured in New York Times article on sports! This is awesome!

I promise actual posts with more than a paragraph of content soon.

One Guess As To What This Post Is About

I am going to be a nervous wreck the entire day.

FIGHT ON USC!

Go USC!  Beat Idaho State!  WOOOOOO!!!!!

A Fitting (And Fitted) Tribute

In light of Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron's home run record last night, this shirt seems more than appropriate:

Get yours today!

Because I Know What's Really Important

I'm going to the Dodgers/Giants game tonight, and while I won't be waving one of these foam asterisks or wearing a Bondsfold, I will not make a sound when Barry Bonds takes the plate...because I will be too busy eating my Dodger Dog and Carnation Frozen Malt and maybe some nachos or peanuts.
