Thoughts on the Olympics...

- Why on earth do they pan so close to the faces of people who have JUST lost? Are you trying to humiliate them as they struggle not to cry? These are TEENAGERS folks!

-The Chinese putting a 'pretty' girl out to lip synch while the 'less pretty' girl stood behind the scenes and sang beautifully--what a bunch of garbage. Just another reason to promote human rights in that area of the world. Not only do they have to be extremely lucky to be born and be accepted by a family (infanticide, anyone?), but then if they're not 'perfect' they're shunned. Anyone else think maybe if they allowed more little girls to be born they'd have some more 'perfect' specimens? Argh.

-I love that a lot of the coverage comes on when the news would at night. It's the perfect time to get in bed and relax and root for your team. Disappointment falls away with sleep and excitement lets you work out any anxiety before sleep as well.

-Some of the commentators are SO picky. Shut up already.

-The USA is leading in medals. Awesome. Now be happy for the ones you have and chill out on the hype and 'pestering' of the silver and bronze medal winners later. You should be proud and not disappointed that we have athletes that are on top of the world, literally. Who cares if it's first second or third? (this to the media intent on dissecting every last detail)...

-Wish I could do that....or that... or that..sigh!
