Song of the Day: "Beautiful Day" by U2

Okay. So. I finally watched "Love Actually" today, and i have to admit it's one of the best chick flicks i've ever seen, if it can be considered a chick flick. I feel sorry for that American girl because Karl, the designing guy, was really hot. Really. Looked nice in those black briefs. My favorite storyline would have to be... er... omg, i thought Sam was SO CUTE, but that girl he liked was SO UGLY. Eh... but she sang pretty well, if that's her real voice. But really, i'm just totally stalling. Stalling because i don't want anyone to know about my newest addiction/fetish/obsession. *hangs head* Okay. So i'm just going to start off by saying i like watching the Olympics every time they come around. IT's not just a one-time thing, but, to tell you the truth, the only part of the summer olympics i've ever really watched was the gymnastics part. Blaine Wilson, unfortunately, is a mite old now, and his thunder is being stolen by the Hamm twins, PAul in particular. This year i'm definitely watching the swimming. Four years ago it was all about rooting for Ian Thorpe, the Thorpedo. Now, i would love nothing better than for Michael Phelps to kick Ian Thorpe's ASS. And even if that doesn't happen, Michael's still got a good two more Olympics left in him, what with being only 19 and all. But today i crossed the line. It stopped being a "GO USA" kind of thing and more of a "GO HOT GUY IN THE SWIMCAP" sort of thing. Why? Because of the damn picture! Not the one on the cover of Time. That one i can't stare at for more than three seconds. No. Imagine a magazine spread of this:

Right? I nearly keeled over. If there were ever a Michael Phelps poster, i would want that one. My cousin Alice laughed at me. Asked where i would put a Michael Phelps poster if i had one. I entertained the idea of putting it on my ceiling where Spider-Man is right now, but... man, it'd be like waking up to a well-built man in a Speedo every morning. Tempting, but very disturbing... almost stalker-ish. So no. I'd ENTERTAIN the idea, but i wouldn't actually do it. Somehow, a swimmer about to lunge at you from your ceiling is more menacing than a swimmer just about to lunge out of your walls.
