So the second day of the World Cup was kinda amusing. I don't know why I find it strange but it was when I saw most of the guys I know from college swimming on the pool deck in my hometown.
No wonder I dreamed of Mike Cavic last night. I don't know how often I have seen him swim but this year was different. Might be because we decided to cheer for the Race Club members simply because they were Race Club (it's all Gary's fault anyway). Cheered for by association. *g*
Anyway, no Gary again but two more World Records and a couple of European ones as well.
And now it's another year with Trials and Olympic Games inbetween.

Golden Goggles. not much to say about that. Just why do they let the fans vote if they don't considered the results for the actually awards???? I mean a lot of other swimmers were leading the pools and Phelps really doesn't need another three awards.
I have hoped for RyRy and Kate Ziegler.. but in the end it all came down to Mike, Bob and politics.
So anyway, this is for [livejournal.com profile] blue_ant


And this one is for me just because... Sheep!! Larsen!

Uni today was surprisingly successful. Found a prof for the oral exam at least and I can keep my old topics.
So yay.
Thank God, at least that is solved now.

World Coffee's "Orange Chocolate Woccochino" is simply heaven. I could live it on it.
Seriously, I think that is one of my favourite drinks right now.

Sheep Larsen is doing the commentary for the Fina World Cup coverage at WCSN (wow World Cup coverage, that contract with FINA seems to work). Thank God, I don't have to listen to Rowdy Gaines anymore. Larsen was doing a good job, never thought he would like commentating. Fanboy that he is, he couldn't refrain from talking about Grant and Yuri. He talked about Ous and Erik as well. Cute. I hope they let him to do the other World Cup stages as well and not only the South African one from today (that probably means we will have a lot more cameras at the pool when our stage comes around. I am feeling all excited having the World Cup back in town. It's not that long anymore. Live swimming, and I will see it).
I am not really sure why I decided to watch the coverage, I didn't know about Larsen when I switched it on. I mean Larsen would be reason enough to just tune in, just to hear how he is doing it.
I guess watching Roland and Gerhard as well as Nat and Randall was a good reason, there weren't a lot of people competing that I knew though.

And I feel the urge to get my Melbourne tape out, the one where Larsen and Erik are cheering on Ous. But hey, I can't because I don't have a working VCR anymore. *sighs*

Oh Thank God my internet is working again. Took them only 12 hours to get it back up. Hmmmpf.
well, couldn't have been online anyway, I had to wait three hours at the doc to just get simple FSME shot. Meh...

Anyway, Josi I got the tickets today and everything is alright with them. :)
Block 8, Reihe 1, Plätze 23 - 24
World Cup, we are ready.

Am off to help a friend with the English paper. And I thought I was finshed with that...
At least I don't have to be outside in this heat.

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*

Der Weltcup (25-m-Bahn) der Schwimmer ist von der Fina ab 2007 komplett inden Herbst verlegt worden. Der „arena world cup“ in Berlin wird dannvoraussichtlich Mitte November stattfinden statt wie zuletzt 2006 Ende Januar. DSV-Newsletter

Uhm, heißt das jetzt der World Cup findet erst wieder im November 2007 statt oder auch schon 2006?
Wir müssen bis November 2007 warten?? Mist.
the_milky_way: (get through (Tom Dolan))
Seems like there won't be a 2006/2007 FINA World Cup Series.
And from where do I get my swimming fix now? That is not nice.. Damn.
