I need to pay more attention

Filed under: — Aprille @ 5:09 pm

I had been vaguely aware of the cultural phenomenon “Phelps Phan,” but just enough to be disgusted with it.  That hatemonger Fred Phelps doesn’t need any more publicity.

Then I found out it’s some sports guy.

I’m Tivo-ing “women’s” gymnastics tonight—do they really count as women if they’re teenagers who’ve had their growth stunted and puberty delayed due to intense training?—so no spoilers, please.  Go Shawn Johnson!

    As an ex-swimmer (ex-competitor, I guess – I can still swim), I am loving these Olympics! The US team has had some thrilling races! I screamed at the TV at the end of the 4×100 relay and scared poor Wrigley. Jason Lezak was beyond amazing in that race.

    I’m pretty sure one of the “women” on the Chinese gymnastics team is actually a young boy. The tall lanky one? Take a look and tell me I’m wrong. (S)He was looking awfully uncomfortable last night.
