This is the live

I haven't done that in a while. But this deserves it.
Can't believe I saw it even.

51.94!!

First man ever under the 52 mark in the 100 backstroke.. and all that in just jammies and not a suit.
I forgot how much I love this sport.
Thank you Aaron.

I just sat on my windowsill and watched rather cool fireworks.
The local football club officially re-opened their new stadium today. They had to built new sections to accomodate the rules of the higher league they managed to enter this year.
Therefore a friendly was held between the club and Hertha BSC (the first league club of the city). I didn't even need to watch the game on TV, I could hear everything that was going on just fine.
Yes the stadium is that close. Anyway awesome fireworks and I didn't even need to leave my room.

Was shopping after work today and it's sort of cool to have some money when sales are going on.
I scored two pairs of earings as well as a sweater, the later for only 2.50.
Oh and I got my Dakine accessory bag for the backback I bought some weeks ago.
This sort of let my love for Dakine grew even more. Not only were they supper fast with delivering it they also put some small but cute suprises in it, like sheets of stickers with all the current Dakine logos and a chip for the mall trolleys.

Nothing else to tell.
My organisational skills concerning my thesis still seem to be hide somewhere. Can't find them anymore.
I am so massively stuck that I am this close to panicking. Not yet though, am still trying to get it done.
I am also reading books that have nothing to do with my thesis, which sort of helps trying to calm down again.
The thing is that I want to write either a Sam/Dean or a J2 version of one of the books. So not good. I can't use more distractions.

Also, US Nationals are going on and I sort of don't care. No, that isn't right I do care I just don't stay awake the whole night watching races on Live Timing.
Speaking of Nationals, wtf RyRy, did your hair explode?

Holy cow.. nice. Go Pete!
Mike? Shut it. The hair is cool though.
I want to huggle Klete. 3rd in B-Final, ouch!
Rowdy is still annoying.

In other news, got the World Cup tickets. And the seats I wanted (well almost but very, very close).
Now I just have to wait and see when they'll arrive here.

It can't be that hard to buy World Cup tickets can it? *pokes website* How about loading the final page? Hmmmpf....
Seems like I need to try the box office again. Great. The one time I want to take the easy way...

Anyway, watching Nationals is actually fun. Larsen and Erik being like it was 2003 instead of 2007. Klete being extra happy making the finals. Mike being well Mike...
Club Wolverine is its usual fast self.
And this is for Josi. Look; Kevin in 2007 and Jamie in 2006 and 2007.

I am feeling nostalgic right now, with all the swimming going on, the World Cup being back and so on... *sighs*

because I had to.

Thank you Robert for such pics. I wish I had those in big without the Watermarks.
Because headhsots with watermarsk are just urgh.







Some pics of the Aaron interview on ( on WCSN.com )

You know that you are strange when the photographer at a swim meet makes you go all "Eeee Robert". *coughs*

Yeah so I should dream more often about Klete being fast. I mean there was a reason why I stayed awake and watched the races live on Live Timing (you could as well go ahead and shoot me).
God, you know some day this sport will be the death of me. I am serious. I mean Klete being ahead of the field 2 seconds for the entire race..my heart rate was not healthy. Larsen finishing 3rd in a 400m race.
And oh Erik is back! I know Mike was disappointed with the swim but I still think it was amazing. Vanderkaays, a lot of Vanderkaays, at least two of them. RyRy!
Well Bren what will Suke say now? Yay for Aaron being in the stands and cheering. DORK!
Oh fuck it *huggles Klete and Larsen and Mike and everyone else I think is cool*

Oh and I got the intership. And I think I will be doing what I can do farely okay. Websites. Or better one website. *snorts*
I'll start tomorrow.

*is dead now* Where is my bed again? I am just happy that this will be over at the 5th. Seriously, I think I wont be able to stand watching Aaron.

slimyfishlover, I didn't forget about your Oreos. I actually got them today and I will send them off soon. So you'll have some again.
Galeria is selling them again after months of not even mentioning them.

Three things to say:

1. OMG I got a "very good" on my Shakespeare paper. *faints*
2. OMG Nationals start Tuesday and I am way too nervous about that. I shouldn't be but yeah.. I can't even explain it.
3. It rained. Not that wasn't it. The EC is on and I am rooting for some of my own guys. No that wasn't it either. Oh yes, I am way too lazy. I am nowhere near anything I had planned on doing. Not to mention that my head is about to explode. But to make things worse, I feel okay with not doing anything, though I do want to finish Klete's new design before the Nationals start. And well get the drabbles posted.

PS, I think I still love Dave Salo.

How about Aaron Peirsol?
Dave: He called me the other way. It’s always neat to have those kids call you.

Distance swimmers Larsen Jensen and Kalyn Keller stayed at USC. Were you concerned they would transfer given your reputation as a sprint coach?
Dave: .... I have the skills to coach them. Larsen (and Kalyn) have been very responsive to me. We’ve made some changes to their strokes....

*hearts dave*
And well I think Larsen is in good hands :)
