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.

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)

*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. :)
