I feel like I must have slept through half the summer, because I DO NOT understand how it is damn-near September already. You have a better list to show for yourself than I do, though. I hate it when I squander my summers. Seriously. I feel like I must have slept through half the summer, because I DO NOT understand how it is damn-near September already.

]]> Comment on I Have Whatever The Opposite Of Olympic Fever Is by Lara http://thecupcaketent.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/i-have-whatever-the-opposite-of-olympic-fever-is/#comment-2390 Lara Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:58:02 +0000 http://thecupcaketent.wordpress.com/?p=682#comment-2390 Heh. My favorite "sports" are the trampoline and rhythmic gymnastics. Although I actually got pretty into the Olympics this year (which I almost just referred to as The Big Os this year, but, um, ew, I sound like a very bad Cosmo article), I am with you in not quite getting it. I happened to catch an interview of one girl - actually, I think she was a synchronized diver! - who was talking about all she had sacrificed to be there, and she said something about how she doesn't live at home because she moved to be close to her trainer; she doesn't go to school because she's too busy training; and she doesn't have any friends. I think it's goddamn sad. Because then, what do you do with your medal when it's all over? Wear it around town? Hang it on the wall and show to all your...oh wait, you don't have any friends. Hmm. Perhaps I should write all this crap on my own blog. Heh. My favorite “sports” are the trampoline and rhythmic gymnastics.

I can remember going to the store and leaving with mixed baby organic spring greens, goat cheese, whole wheat pitas and black bean burgers. This may not seem sad to you, but from a guy's perspective, it's kind of pathetic or at least a sign that you're old and turning into someone you probably would have mocked not too long ago. (I was purchasing ice cream along with the rest of that, and that should have made it better, but they were "Skinny Cow" ice cream sandwiches, so...even worse) Alternatively, there is also the "my wife left me alone for a weekend" cart which includes cookies, frozen burritos (or chimichangas), tortilla chips, multiple two-liters or twelve-packs of soda and possibly ice cream. The closest anything can come to being green and allowed in the cart is if your beverage of choice is Mountain Dew.

It has repeatedly tried to convince us to take the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis that no longer exists. And it pretends like it is recalculating, but then it just tells us to make a u-turn and go back to the I-35 bridge that does not exist. Stupid GPS. H’s GPS thing is homicidal.

Also, "Jill" is my code name whenever I have to give a name at a sandwich shop or something like that, because it makes me so angry when they get my real name wrong.
