or maybe it should be 'Dis n Dat' as an homage to Hawaiian Sam's TV show?
Anyway...
Just a couple things on my mind lately...
Olympic Shorts
I'm lovin' the Olympics, I always have. But I felt a little bad for Michael Phelps. I don't think anyone has ever lived up to the hype put on them by the media as 'the one who can win it all!' Poor guy's only a teenager. But he seemed to handle it well, and he must have breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't get the gold against Ian Thorpe (who is looking good and really confident with those blond highlights). Now he can just swim his heart out and not worry about having to beat Mark Spitz' record. And Mark Spitz can now stop holding his breath. At least for another 2 years.
And how about that men's gymnastics? Was it me, or was the Japanese team really hot? Take out the crazy fuzzy hair and you've got a good looking bunch. And those bodies. Whoo hoo! I thank the Olympic gods for bringing Blaine Wilson back so I can watch him one more time.
Loved watching Natalie Coughlin winning her medal, even though she almost got beat at the finish. I was really hoping that she'd start crying during the national anthem, but she held up pretty good. If I was there I'd be bawling like a little baby.
I love the soap opera that is the US basketball team. Come on, guys, get it together. TEAM! Learn the word.
Eye Update
My eye is still blurry, so driving is more than a challenge. I have become the person that I hate, driving slow (so I can see the street signs) and being hyper aware of my surroundings I swear, grandmothers in walkers have passed me as I've been driving down the sreet. I'm still on my eyedrops and the eye is still pretty red. The eye has a lot more mobility, but it's still weird to look to the left. I'm still wearing my dorky glasses, and I feel very Clark Kent-ish. Due to a lot of crap with Pearl Vision, my new glasses should be coming soon. Like 2007. Bastards.
Um...Uh...What was I going to Say?
During the course of a day, there is so much I want to blog about. But whenever I sit down to write, I completely forget what I was going to write. Like now. I even made notes. But they were short notes, so I have no idea what my secret codes to myself are. I'm a dork.
They're Good for Scratching
My nails are the longest that they have been in a long time. I usually keep my nails short, but I just keep on forgetting to cut them. The clicking that they're making against the keyboard is driving me insane! But at least I have some pretty polish on them, which I rarely do.
Hair Do or Hair Don't?
Thinking about changing my hair color again. Instead of highlights, I'm thinking of just going for a new all over color, maybe a light brown. INstead of going to my regular guy (who really hasn't been my regular guy since I haven't seen him since last year) to save money (because I'm broke) is to just buy one from the drugstore. Any suggestions?
Posted by Yano at August 17, 2004 06:36 PMdid the doc say how long til your eye is completely healed?
I'm watching the men's swimming right now :)
I forget all the time what I was going to say or write, I'll call a friend's voicemail and my mind goes blank lol
Men's gymnastics~do they got great bods or what?! LOL and the arms on them guys...WHOA/whoo hoo!
*giggle*
SusanG posted on OZ that she enjoyed the gymnastics team you mentioned as well! LOL
Oh boy do I feel for you on your eye. I lived for two years with one blurry/fogged eye. A year with the left; got that fixed; then a year with the right. I drove to Montana only being able to see out of one eye and I prayed a deer wouldn't jump onto the highway from the right or I'd be dead.
Now that I can see, I'm very mad at myself for driving half blind--1000 miles alone.
BTW, Yano, I got the pictures working on my blog. One small step for.....!
Posted by: janet on August 18, 2004 07:54 AMI know what you mean about the nails. Not that ever polish mine. At this time of year though they grow out really long. Then they get to a point where I just can't stand the way they feel and i take scissors to them and chop 'em off! It feels so much better after that.
Glad your eye is improving!
Aren't you thrilled?
And about the men gymnasts, I have just 2 words: hubba hubba.
As for Ian Thorpe, I'm just going to have to censor myself. The man is HOT.
Posted by: Noelle on August 18, 2004 10:55 AMwhoa! dunno what happened there. the 'aren't you thrilled' comment was supposed to go at the end of the paragraph about my fingernails. I was being sarcastic.
Though I am sure you ARE thrilled about your eye getting better! :)
Posted by: Noelle on August 18, 2004 10:57 AMi think you should get reddish tones in your hair, Christine. i've seen you with blonde highlights and all over black and dark brown... try red!!!
Posted by: chattykathy on August 18, 2004 12:08 PMGo red!!! When my natural hair color completely goes (my highlights are all natural so I don't mess with 'em), I'm going red baby. Red is hot, go red I say.
Glad the eye is getting better dear. In time, all things will pass. Isn't that what someone once said?
I'm off to VA for a long weekend so if my plane crashes, I love you! he he. take care dear.

Posted by: marie on August 18, 2004 03:13 PMhummm a new hair do........ brown all over sounds great but i agree with cathy.. a lil' red sounds like fun. i saw pic of you with some washout red streaks and you looked stellar....
Posted by: Shannon on August 18, 2004 08:14 PMNo Christine, it wasn't just you. I noticed those Japanese gymnasts too.
