i agree with rob on how they show the backstories. the guy they've picked to do gymnastics commentary loves throwing in little tidbits like "she loves- GASP- double cheeseburgers!" instead of doing any analysis of the routine. he does every single gymnastics competition that gets televised. and i know know right now because the world champ is on the us team there will be barely any coverage of other teams.

that's my rant.

american worship of the individual & their personal dirt gets in my balls in so many ways. reason why so many epic movies FAIL under the hand of american directors-- it's all about the fucking "hero".

check out potemkin and how there are no "stars" and the movie is amazing.

but here no, "the one" saves the universe, single handedly, and then we wanna put them on TMZ!

ok. end of my very own inarticulate rant. becuz...

i always failed assignments in elementary school where we had to pick a hero. i wrote things like "i don't believe in having a singular hero" or "that's so overrated." it pissed me off.

still does.

For some reason I find the winter olympics much more interesting. I like the skiing.

Though I do like the swimming and diving. There will be swimming and diving in the summer ones, right?

Swimming has been moved to winter, because they felt the olympics were lacking in comedic events.

Yeah, I know! No one has really stood out. I wanted to like Jennifer, but she blew the last two challenges completely...

At my Junior School, we were just yelled at - (Hello Mrs Starling, you old virgin bitch!).

Hero as a kid = Han Solo in 1977.
