solution
I know what to do about Tubby now (and the SEEs if I’m forgotten again). I just need to work out the small matter of dealing with the recoil.

the aussies do it again!
Take that, FASEE! Our Aussie diver, Matthew Mitcham, took the very last diving gold from the Chinese!! The nerves apparently got to China’s top diver, who was in first place, but we Aussies know how to keep our cool in the heat of things. I wish he hadn’t started crying. You don’t see the American Dolphin blubbering when he wins a race, but then I suppose the dolphin doesn’t have to go up against the world’s best divers and the pressure of those annoying commentators being so smugly sure that he can’t get gold.
a slight crush
I think I just might have a slight crush on Stephanie Rice. (What, you thought I’d pine after the female koala with the cute baby forever?) We Aussies like it when one of our own breaks records and wins gold. Take that, Yanks!
Aussie Pride 2!!
Watched the Olympics broadcast tonight and got to see Leisel Jones claim the gold in the 100m breaststroke, beating out Rebecca Soni from the US and Ye Sun from China. Hear that FASEE and MSEE?
During the broadcast, NBC spends an inordinate amount of time advertising their new shows for next season. (As if these fat Americans need to be convinced to leave the couch.) One of their new shows, Kath & Kim, is based on the long-running, award-winning, Kath & Kim from the homeland. Though I personally didn’t care much for it, I doubt the yank’s version will gain the popularity of the original. It’s just another case of an inferior culture stealing ideas from a superior one.
Aussie Pride!!
Last night the female took me home (gesture of friendship, I suppose) to watch the opening ceremonies. I have to admit that those humans sure can put on a good show. My favorite part, of course, was watching the Australian team march in. I’m quite disappointed that the “Thorpedo” won’t compete this year…
