The Olympics

We've been enjoying watching the Olympics the last few days. The pictures have been pretty awesome in HD, especially the Opening Ceremonies. I guess we're going to be staying up late since all the swimming finals seem to be between 10-11PM.

Here are few things we've seen that I think are funny:

1. After the U.S. won the 4x100 relay last night, Garrett Weber-Gale called France's relay team "The Frenchies".
2. Hearing the theme from Baywatch being played during the beach volleyball matches.
3. After one of the gymnasts wipes out on their dismount they still have to stand back up and raise their hands like they are saying "Ta DAAA!".
4. This just in: Did you know that Dara Torres is old and has a couple kids? I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of that. The TV guys never mention that.

List: A Few Things I Can Do This Week

Since Sadie is off in Cancun until Sunday, I realized yesterday that there are a few things I can do this week.

1. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki sandwich at Subway with red onions and the sweet onion sauce. That was great for dinner last night.


2. ESPN on my TV 24/7.


3. Full control of the XM Radio in my truck.

I'll post more if I can think of any.

Of course, it will be better when she is back.

Lists: Halloween Costumes I Saw

1. Spiderman
2. A sexy pirate
3. Used car salesman
4. Several witches
5. Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean) driving a Toyota.
6. Clown
7. A box of Kleenex
8. Tony Romo
9. A kitty
10. A banana
11. A priest and a nun
12. Ronald McDonald

Lists: My TV Recommendations

Here is a list of shows that I am planning to watch:

1. Heroes - (premiered last night) I just started watching this a couple weeks ago when Sadie bought Season 1 on DVD. We plowed through 23 episodes in time for the last nights start of Season 2. Very fun show.
2. Friday Night Lights - Great show, plus it's fun to try and pick out where they are filming in town. It's actually on Friday now.
3. The Office - probably my favorite. Easily the best comedy.
4. Survivor-China - one of the few reality shows that I will watch.
5. The Amazing Race - another show Sadie got me hooked on. I don't think it comes back until later on in the year.
6. Lost - This one also doesn't return until later.
7. 24 - returns in January and then runs without repeats. I hope they can make it better than last year or I may have to drop it.
8. CSI - the original version is still better than the two spin-offs.

Of course, you also have to add in Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, the MLB playoffs, golf, and several other events where a score is kept. The magic of the DVR makes it all possible.

Lists: New Food In My Diet Since Meeting Sadie

1. Rice

5. Stir fry bowls
