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.

There are oh, about twelve thousand albums I could recommend, but since you specifically said summer, the first two that came to mind were Hideaway by the Weepies and Alright Still by Lily Allen. And I'm looking on your Last.FM page and it says that we have the Weepies in common but i can't find them on your artists list, AND THIS, MY DEAR FRIEND, IS A TRAVESTY. Lily Allen's album is just fun and dancey and filled with exaggerated English accents that are delightfully fun to imitate when singing alone in your car.

I'd also recommend Brandi Carlile's The Story, but it's not (HAHA just typed snot) really a summer album. Though, whatever. It's fucking fantastic and I really do recommend it.

It might have been easier to just send you to my Last.FM page but then how would I go on and on about albums and artists I am in love with?

BY THE WAY, YOU'RE AT THE CONVENTION, YOU PIECE OF CRAP. I keep looking for young girls in the crowd and boiling with jealousy.
