The 2012 Olympics
smack that isaiah:
That's sad about the Taiwanese flag.
I love the Olympics. In the summer I tend to watch whatever is on, but I'm going out of my way to watch fencing. Unfortunately, the main bulk of the bouts occur from 5:00am to 11:00am where I am, with semifinals/finals around 12:30pm. So, I'm going to be waking up really really early on the weekends and watch a ton of fencing. For the weekdays, I'll wake up a few hours earlier and watch a bit before going to work.
In the winter I try to watch everything, making sure to catch hockey.
Omega Entity:
For me, it's almost always been about gymnastics in the summer, and figure skating in the winter.
Lines:
For summer I almost always watch swimming and gymnastics. For the 2008 games, I also watched a lot of beach volleyball because it was on during the afternoon and I had no job at that point. (Also I slept in until 12 because I was up late playing WoW, so I missed all of the morning events. Hooray joblessness?) And sometimes I watch field events because it's crazy.
I think I do watch more of the winter events, but that's because events involving ice are pretty dang awesome.

The NBC announcers always love mentioning "The Central African Republic...which is a republic in central Africa."
The Seldom Killer:
Heading down to Surrey this evening to watch the Road Races. Men's on Saturday and Women's on Sunday. Decided not to get fleeced for tickets to Box Hill we're going to catch it headed out, pick up a spot on the Box Hill loop outside the ticked area to watch the racers do circuits and then attempt to ride back to my parents in time to watch them race up The Mall on telly. Very excited to see if the British team can follow up on the success at the Tour de France (and the Tour of Poland). Wish I could grow some sideburns before tomorrow.
