Well, it CAN make posts here. Does this mean I have yet another way to write stuff? Yes. Does it mean I’ll actually write more? No.

olympic fever.
Aug 19th
It’s Olympic season! For 18 days, the entire world becomes engrossed in athletic events of both exciting (Redeem Team basketball!) and pointless (trampoline?).
Let’s talk about the most controversial of topics: Chinese gymnastics. Partly, because it’s probably a popular topic and I like to watch to see who comes here from weird Google searches. The other reason being that the Chinese women gymnasts are uglier than sin itself. They have singlehandedly made me ashamed of my heritage. I hope you’re reading, Hu Jintao. *puke*
It’s been suggested that my disdain for the “women” gymnasts for China sprouts from something very shallow. Fact of the matter is, out of almost all the Olympic women gymnasts competing, the Chinese are by far the hardest to watch, strictly because, well, they’re ugly. It doesn’t help that they get ridiculously high scores for doing stuff like…falling off beams. Let’s not even talk about screwing over Nastia in the uneven bars FOR A TIED SCORE.
Anyways, back to ugly. It doesn’t help that they’re like 13 years old. Every commentator that fields any gymnastic event has been talking about it. Come on, China, heavy makeup isn’t going to hide something like, oh, let’s say, puberty. It’s intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that you collectively, red China, are implementing the modern day equivalent of child slavery.
Please direct all your complaints to 21st century human rights.
birthday gifts.
Jul 29th
For those of you who didn’t get me anything for my birthday and my subliminal messages are causing an inescapable amount of guilt for not doing so, you’re in luck. Second chances rarely come in life, so capitalize on this one while you can.
I will be accepting the following in lieu of last second gifts that you all procrastinated on (in order of preference):
1. cash
2. cashier’s checks
3. Visa gift cards
4. gift cards to stores I actually buy things from
5. gift certificates to local upscale restaurants
6. airline certificates
7. mail-order brides
