    Wheeee!

    Lots to look forward to today most of which I won't get to see because I'm off to London on an Olympic void!

    Hopefully we get another medal today in rowing. Double sculls. Good chance even Gold perhaps but that final is probably the most competitive.

    It's day six - time for misskarne's now-traditional whine...



    Is the swimming over yet?!

    Hockey on, but the TV just got hijacked to Star Trek.

    No idea what's on later, I'll play the Channel 9 Olympic roulette...which will probably be swimming.

    Here's hoping Germany misses medals in dressage and hell breaks lose over the fed's heads. How they could have messed up such a strong discipline where Germany has not lost an Olympic Games since 1972 is beyond incompetent. Go NED/UK/USA!

    I'm watching the replay of the Women's Individual 1/8 Elim. Round in Archery right now....the aim of these women is fantastic, but I'm trying to figure out who decided that the competitors were to do their best impression of Gilligan .

    Mustafina has grown on me throughout the competition. Even tho I'm American I'm rooting for her to win gold. Plus I love her use of glitter

    It's the way they throw them that scores points. A knowledge of Japanese is an asset though.

    Guaranteed silver for GB in judo though!
