it's bobsled time.

i was feeling a little down because the first week of the olympics is over. no more gymnastics. no more swimming. no more phelps.

then i remembered...

there's still carrie walsh and misty may! beach volleyball. very intense and exciting.

and there's still track and field. i'm not as into that, but the jamaicans are doing well. and it always makes me smile when jamaicans do well in the olympics. because of that movie, cool runnings.

i love that movie!

derice, sanka, junior, yul. i love those guys. sanka was my favorite because he carried that lucky egg around with him. i also like junior, too. because he's so nice. and it's really sad when he's really sad.

now that i think about it, that movie might actually be one of the reasons i became obsessed with the olympics. what a great story. i watched it when i was young. 9 or 10. the formative years. and a couple years later, i watched the "magnificent seven" win gold in gymnastics. and watched kerri strug land that vault on ONE FOOT.



so many vivid memories.

i should carry a lucky egg around with me. and demand that people kiss it.
