Blogging the Olympics

Somebody's doing that, right? Probably several somebodies, I can't be bothered to check. Yesterday was some men's skatey-thingy - um, figure-skating, and I wrote something incoherent and then deleted it. The gist was something like oh my god what the HELL is he wearing? But now I'm watching men speed-skate in their bizarre little stretchy outfits, and I am increasingly convinced that they are NOT wearing something. Namely, underpants. Ooo, it's some kind of relay too, so when a new guy comes on, the going-off guy gives him a big ol' helping shove on the butt. The Church Lady would have a fit.

Thanks, Dr Internet, for the conjunctivitis tips. I will put them into action as soon as I can track down a chamomile tea-bag. Bet Mrs Next Door has one. I got this from Ignatz, though, and he's all better already, so even if the chamomile doesn't work, I only have a couple more days of this.

Great stuff, chamomile. I remember filling the kitchen with chamomile steam to clear up baby Ignatz's stuffed-up nose.

OMG...they're not wearing undies?? HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THAT???!!! Oh, yeah...the knitting was way more important than the real Olympics itself. Lest we forget....

Well, I didn't see any panty-lines, and those suits were very, very tight. I'm sure, if there were something there, you'd see it.

Be sure to catch the men's figure skating on eurosport tomorrow night. There are some seriously nice butts out there. You can knit during the scoring and commercials.

No, I don't ever watch the Olympics...especially not Winter's. At least I watch the swimming in the normal Olympics. :p
