The Cuban women's volleyball team is hot. Yum.

Does anyone else think that Chris Collinsworth bares an odd resemblance to Will Arnett? Especially if you're fast forwarding?

Alex · 08-13-2008, 06:46 PM

Why must you insult Will Arnett like that?

And no, I don't think I'd be likely to confuse them. But I haven't tried fast forwarding through Collinsworth to see. Maybe I'll put in an Arrested Development DVD, fast forward and see if it makes me want to talk about football.

My BIL is over in China working the Olympics for his company for 2 weeks. He sent photos of the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Here he is outside the stadium...

Talk about the chance of a lifetime! He's on a 4 days on/2 days off schedule, so he has plenty of time to see the country on his company's dime. He hasn't made it to an actual event yet, but he's hoping to soon.

I'm enjoying seeing the diversity of "athletic" bodies of the Olympics - the giant upper bodies of the swimmers, the tiny girl gymnast, it makes me think of how much biology dictates the potential for doing well in a given sport - Michael Phelps' size 14 feet/flippers for example. Peter Greenaway needs to direct a nude parade of nations a la Prospero's Books.

I just my heard my new favorite line: "World's Best Breast Stroker"

alphabassettgrrl · 08-13-2008, 10:28 PM

I'd like to compete for that title.

Good badminton match and nice to see it on TV even if it was only because the U.S. softball game had a rain delay.

I just found the channel that's been broadcasting boxing, badminton, judo, etc. It's on the odd Time Warner "special events" channel which is where they show local baseball in HD (some half-ass deal with FSN or something I gather).

It also seems to be showing just about every soccer match, which seems excessive.
