Ladies (and Gents),
It's actually sunny this morning after watching it rain while it was sunny yesterday. Whatevs. So long as it's a nice day for Jess' October wedding!
Ok, so are you watching the Olympics? I've talked to many of you and you are watching certain events. And, I bet after hearing me in class you think this blog entry is going to be about Women's Beach Volleyball and the, ahem, uniforms they wear, right? Uh, no.
This entry is about the lackluster, dare I say, ridiculous commentary by some of the announcers during Sychronized Diving.
Let's be clear on what sychronized diving is; it is the diving of 2 people, simultaneously and in identical fashion. Thus the term 'sychronized'.
What bugs the living crap out of me is the constant commentary of the announcers saying, "They are going to perform this dive in exactly the same way and at the same exact time." "They must point their toes at the same time, move their arms at the same time..."
I have one thing to say...
D U H.
And let's remember these commentators are paid a lot of money for their expert comments.
Oh, and they say these inane things over and over again...as if we are the idiots.
I think we all know who the idiots are, don't we?

I totally agree on the lounging around at home in the "pj" pants outfit. Although I do draw the line outside of the house...I have to shake my head when I see grown women in the bank and grocery store in their "pj" outfits. I also have some T shirt dresses that are great for those lounging days and they are also appropriate for in the yard and on the deck should you have unexpected company stop by!

It's a bit like when the president has a speach and the news commentaries tell us what the president said in case we didn't understand it the first time we heard. Oh and how they tell us how many the times he got a standing ovation during his speach and we didn't see it happen on the tv. Oh i get it they repeat all this incase we take a bathroom brake and miss them saying it the first 10 times.
