never give up, never surrender.

Raj Bhavsar is totally my new Olympics boyfriend. And Sasha Artemev too. Oh hell, the whole USA men's gymnastics team, including their poor last alternate. They are completely adorable, and I don't cringe when they speak, which was always an issue with the Hamm brothers.

I, er, may possibly have been following the live results on nbcolympics.com and compiling them into my own spreadsheet so I could see how things were going (thanks a lot, NBC tape delay! EXCEPT NOT). Maybe just a little.

How cute was it when they kept talking into the camera? "What's up, America?" indeed.

They were adorable! My heart broke for them on pommel horse. I was hoping they'd do well there and completely beat down the naysayers.

Still, not shabby in the least!

I agree!

Oh, and I was having a "Galaxy Quest" moment too, with the "never give up" stuff.

the best part about following previous Olympics on the internet only is that I didn't have to hear the Hamm brothers talk...

the worst part about being in front of a TV and accidentally surfing into trials a few weeks ago is ...

"wow, is that Stephen Hawking???"

I cannot imagine watching men's gymnastics without thinking of GenCon four years ago. "Aw..pretty man fall down!" "Stupid China."

I think I was holding my breath through Sasha's pommel horse routine. No pressure, kid, no pressure. Kinda felt sorry for Germany, a little. But not too much.

I blame the Men's Gymanstics team for keeping me up far too late. But I still love them too. It's soooooo refreshing to see athletes so excited about winning bronze!! That's what I'm talking about.

Man. I love the Olympics. :D And Sasha is too cute. Love em. Love em all. :D

Yes, I too remember watching the men's gymnastics last year with so many of the FL. And yes, the comment about his voice. Just priceless.

I agree that Raj is quite a cutie!

I thought of you when I heard the Hamms were out. And while watching during chat last night- then staying up too late to watch Sasha... he was AWESOME.

I'm proud of our guys. :) And can't wait to watch more with the Jaders!
