quote of the day

we've been waiting for the phelps since 8 pm
a degrassi marathon helped us through
but i just had to mention that the announcer just called the 500m race we're watching right now "the superbowl of sports"
...
edit: we watched the penultimate race. honestly, i am pretty radical politically but sometimes i'm proud to be an american, and phelpsy brings that shit out in me
during the relay race that won him his eighth gold medal at these games, when the other swimmers would go, i was like "come on, you owe it to phelpsy!"
and all of them were so humble when they won. but honestly, phelps, in the looks department, has nothing on the three beautiful black girls who kicked ass in the 400 meter hurdle dash
i'll find some pics of them later, and you'll thank me

serial killers out for the phelps!

ok, when you go to michael phelps wikipedia page, this is what happens:

for the record, the top part reads "This is the Zodiac speaking. Do you think you cowards can run from me? No you cannot for I am above mortal things."

now it's fixed but man it was creepy

i realize now it was probably some weirdo who likes serial killer shit (not like natural born killers or oz or anything, right?) but my friends and i just smoked a cross joint, which i constructed using two joints, cutting semicircles out of their middles and nestling them into each other at the center, then wrapping the center with a couple of strips of the glue on rolling papers. anyway said cross joint totally worked and totally convinced me that the zodiac killer was on wikipedia!

now we're watching gymnastics on the olympics, the little chinese girl with no chin scored wayyy too high after fucking up on the beam

and bela carollo or whoever is covering the olympics with bob costas (my friend says he used to coach the us women's team) just said "you go girlfriend" in this fabulous accent to the american girl with the hipster bump in the front of her hair

man the olympics are fuN!

michael phelps and be kind rewind

my friends and i watched michael phelps and the us team win the freestyle.

the last american guy came from behind at the last minute to make a record and beating the french team by .004 seconds if i'm not mistaken

it was a pretty exhilarating moment honestly, made humorous by the fact that half an hour prior there was a little blurb in the bottom of the screen saying "29 minutes to michael phelps!" with a picture

but as he exulted in yet another gold medal (he's trying to break the record with 8 at one season of Olympic games) i found myself admitting that michael phelps is kind of a babe. i'm falling under his spell. the spelps!

and

i just watched be kind rewind

it is a nice little film that completely wrecks you with the situation the kooky characters end up in and then redeems you just as completely with the power of cinema

it's really just a love letter to the movies and to truly independent filmmaking

i cried it was so charming and it really made me wish i lived in a neat little town that all banded together to make movies

the story about my friends trying to buy blunts from a woman who didn't understand "up" coming tomorrow
