OH, SHAWN JOHNSON!
I'm so glad she got her gold! Oh, god, can you even imagine being the favorite favorite favorite going into something as big as this and then having to go home with a smattering of silvers? I mean, not that and Olympic silver isn't a big deal, but... I DON'T KNOW. I'm just happy for her!
ALSO: Bela Karolyi is my favorite.
Yesterday my replacement laptop came, and then today... another replacement laptop came. I... don't even know, Staples. It's been two months of them sucking at service and this... is the hilarious icing on their little cake of failure?
BUT BUT BUT: dear friends, what were your favorite summer albums? I am depressingly behind on new music and I would love some recommendations for when I slog through the deluge of things I've missed.
FANDOM HIGHLIGHT OF TODAY: CHUCK BLOOPER REEL! I think, after months and months of the strike pushing this show to the back of my fandom consciousness, that somewhere between this and the commercials that NBC has been airing that it has somehow become the show I most want back? REMEMBER HOW FUN IT WAS LAST FALL? I miss the Nerd Herd and Awesome and Sarah Walker's silly little Weinerlicious outfit? THANK GOODNESS WE GET MORE SOON.

I stayed up until 1am every night while they played the event finals (they showed them live here on one of the tvnz online channels) except the final night when I missed the beam final by thismuch and got home from work at 11.30pm just in time to see the results on the screen. Fortunately they replayed it on another online channel 45 minutes later because I would've been SO DISAPPOINTED to miss that. Shawn was so solid and Nastia was so fluid and graceful, I've never been more impressed with them, especially under so much pressure.
Music-wise, I have to agree with whoever (whomever?) recommended Emiliana Torrini's new album Me and Armini. And the new Beatbeat Whisper album is pretty good too.
AHAHA. I only respond to ACTION.
