TV... and the Olympics... and Politics...

I almost never watch TV... this is partly due to the fact that our television gets no channels. I am not exaggerating in any way, whatsoever. We literally get NO channels... not even local stuff... or PBS... or anything! Our 17" television's soul purpose is to play DVDs... through the PS2... yeah...

Anyhow... I absolutely love the Olympic Games. If you think I am retarded because of this, well... that's your problem! For the past week+, I have been finding alternative watching sites, so that I could take in all of the exciting Olympic moments... no TV, but hey, I watched each of Michael Phelp's 8 gold medal swims, the women's team gymnastics competition and all-around, the men's team gymnastic competition and all around, the end of the women's marathon, and a few rounds of beach volleyball... live. So far, I've only set off one alarm, causing a building to be thoroughly searched at 1:00am. Oops... long story... Hopefully I'll get to catch some track and field next week as well as the women's beach volleyball finals.

In addition, I am finding that it is increasingly easier to watch certain things via the Internet. It's not perfect, but it works most of the time. To tell you the truth, I was about 95% sure that I had finally made my presidential decision... until the civil forum on Saturday. Now I am up in the air about it again, and this is rather unsettling, since I have never waffled for this long about a vote. I am not necessarily giving this information to get feedback. I know that half of you think that Obama is the anti-Christ and the other half of you think that McCain is a killing machine... doesn't matter. I still haven't decided what I think yet...

Hmmm... Perhaps this post is kind of pointless... like TV...

I think I can... I think I can... I think I can...

...Catch up! But maybe I can't...

At any rate, be looking for updates soon, including our only trip to Cedar Point with the kids this summer. There is still much going on, and I doubt the load is going to get much lighter as I start school next week and the kids start right after Labor Day! And then there are piano lessons... and soccer... and swimming... and vacations... and field trips... and quizzing (imagine that)!

For today, here's the long postponed posting of the VBS slideshow (several weeks later)! I stayed up until 5am creating this one (long story), which is really late! This week I'm only staying up until midnight... or maybe 1am, depending on how long the prime time Olympic coverage lasts! I never claimed I wasn't an absolute moron...

See below for the VBS pics:
