Anybody who is wondering why I haven’t been writing on my blog about the Beijing Olympics: its because I have been watching the Olympics 24/7. I have watched so much Olympics that I simply have not had the time to update my blog about anything. Some quick things that happened in the past week:
A skunk blocked the path into my building, after work one night. I stood looking at it, thinking, “I hope it doesn’t spray me… ooohh I really hope it doesn’t spray me!” In my head I imagined getting sprayed… when all of a sudden the skunk moseyed right up to me! I shrieked like a banshee and hid behind a nearby car.
I went to Puppy Kindergarten with my aunt and Roxie, the cocker spaniel pup. My aunt told the whole class how I taught Roxie to jump up on furniture. In the eyes of the class I gleamed the scales of moral judgement… During Off Leash Play a spaniel named Rupert ran up to each of the bigger dogs and barked in their face and then dashed away. Bravo Rupert! Somebody’s gotta rile up those pups.
I almost got into a car crash listening to Joe Biden’s first speech as the Democratic candidate for Vice President. I love you Joe Biden! I love anybody who talks as much as I do.
Other stuff happened, too. But for the most part I just watched lithe and weird Olympic bodies writhe in their digital glory on the internets… it just so happens my late-night schedule is perfect for watching live events happen in Beijing! Perhaps in the future I will be streaming Chinese daytime soaps (like the Hills in Mandarin) from midnight til’ 3AM EST. In the meantime, I love the Olympics so much I’m thinking of competing!
“Jingjing makes children smile — and that’s why he brings the blessing of happiness wherever he goes. You can see his joy in the charming naivety of his dancing pose and the lovely wave of his black and white fur. Jingjing was chosen to represent our desire to protect nature’s gifts — and to preserve the beauty of nature for all generations. Jingjing is charmingly naïve and optimistic. He is an athlete noted for strength who represents the black Olympic ring.”
Where was JingJing when the Baiji went extinct?!
If I don’t like the ref’s calls, I’ll show him how I really feel with a swift karate kick to the face!

We thought you’d want to be one of those ribbon dancers…
Meowzer, I want to see some protest of the government of China on the 3rdarm, not a fan page for the Olympics in Beijing. The people in China deserve freedom of the press and freedom of assembly and dissent. Until the citizens of China have these human rights, I don’t want to play any games with them.
you’re sooooo strong! meow!
