Olympics YAY!

Olympics
I am so very excited!!!!!! But I just figured out that the most of the direct translations of Gymnastics (I used to do gymnastics in my younger days) will start at 4 am here. A bit on an early side, though if I stay awake it might just be considered a late night.

High-Heel race
Is this for real? A high-heel race takes place on 19th of July in Moscow!. I was so surprised last year to see an abundance of women wearing high-heels in Moscow. EVERY DAY. Going to work and using public transport and all in HIGH HEELS. This is so dangerous when you consider using elevators in Moscow's underground train system. And so feet-straining considering the amount of walking everyone does in this very space-y city.

Generation Kill
And may be Olympics will stop me obsessing with Generation Kill. I am so in love with this show, but there is not much talk about it on my friends list. I have been even reading Jacob's recaps on TWOP. He rambles too much and talks too much about himself (I don't want to know about you! I want to know about Brad!) and most importantly he, on several occasions, missed an important conversation . And this considering his recaps are 30 pages long. Hmm, I think I need to find proper recaps somewhere. This will not do.


The icon is fitting for the Olympics post, I think.

Hee. You have a shirtless Brad icon. *loves* And I've been meaning to discuss GK more, but this last week has been super busy. (mostly because it's my birthday tomorrow, and I'm having a party *shhh, don't tell*, and because it is about 90 % certain that I will be going to York in the beginning of September.) But I promise - more GK discussions coming up!

Yep, I have a shirtless Brad icon and I can't stop using it. :D It is feree to share!

I am so so excited about your York visit. We can climb Roman walls together and go to Bettys!!!! And your birthday!!!!

I am already thinking that "Generation Kill" is about to finish, only 3 episodes more. And also I am thinking A LOT about how I LOVE everyone (well, Brad Nate and Doc :D) but how they are not at all like anyone I have met in real life, their look at life is so different. It could have been interesting to meet them in RL.

I would love that!!! :D(though I have no idea what Bettys is. But I'm sure I will love it. hee)

And also I am thinking A LOT about how I LOVE everyone (well, Brad Nate and Doc :D)

*nods* And Doc is fast becoming a new favourite. Him being cranky or yelling about the Geneva convention will never not be awesome.

Bettys is a VERY NICE tea-shop in York. A must-do York experience. :D

Doc's phrase about "you are incompetent" is the best one-liner in these series so far. Oh, how I wish to say that to some of our managers. :D

Psst. It is definite. I will be in York from 31st of August to 4th of September. (though I'm leaving rather early on the 4th). So if you have a chance to meet me that would be wonderful. :)

I need to make an effort to find the first three eps of GK. If they would just show them on HBO again, instead of showing the same ep over an over that would solve my problem. It's been "Combat Jack" all week and I've watched it so many times I almost know it by heart. lol.

I'm looking forward to the Olympics as well. Gymnastics, ice skating, equestrian. I like the swimming and diving as well. Just about all of it really. :)

Did you know Eric is having a masquerade ball this Saturday night? ;)

You poor thing, you're reading Jacob recaps? I haven't been to twop in a while (mostly because I took a hiatus from tv) but it seems he's doing everything. I was so disappointed to see him recapping Gossip Girl. That boy must have no life to write 30-page recaps of 2 or 3 different shows.

I'm not surprised.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Yep, I am not amused. I could take his recaps as reviews but recap assumes more of re-caping and less of his own thoughts.

It's been years since I've watched the Olympics. I loved watching Gymnastics, too. Hmm...I should see if I can find some clips online so I can watch it this year...

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I like Gymnastics and Swimming the most. ;D It feels like holiday!! I wish I could take half a day off!

High-Heel race
Is this for real?

LOL! I heard about this weeks ago over our local news and I was like..it's hard enough to wear heels on long hours..but to actually run a race while wearing it? haha!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Moscow is a special city in this sense, I feel. Everyone wears high-heels there, I wouldn't be able to myself.

I'm very excited for the Olympics too! Hurray for it being today! :) That's amazing that you used to do gymnastics! *MEEP* 4am is very early O_O. I'm looking forward to swimming. I'm a Micheal Phelps fangirl. :)

Ouch! Running in high heals look way too painful. *cringes*

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I LIKE MICHAEL PHELPS TOO. He is awesome. :D

[allbloomedout.livejournal.com]

EEEE!! I'm so happy you like him too!! I can't wait to see his butterfly stroke. I haven't seen him swim since the last Olympics.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Butterfly stroke is generally very very pretty and powerful. I can't WAIT!
