I'm completely enamored by the Olympics. I get the warm-fuzzy feeling watching these amazing athletes and hearing some of their inspiring stories. I've actually teared up... Yeah, that's how tender I am, or the Olympics are, or something.

So far, some of my favorite moments:

Ohno taking bronze in the men's short-track 1000m. Man, he sure knows how to pull it out at the very last second!
Vonn taking gold in the women's downhill. She was so elated to win that gold, the tears flowed and flowed and flowed...
Lysacek taking gold in the men's figure skating. Talk about a glorious victory!
White kicking ass, flat-out dominating the men's half-pipe. 'Nuff said.
Miller's first Olympic gold in the men's super combined. Go Bode!
Davis/White taking silver, with Virtue/Moir taking gold in the ice dance. Those were some pretty awesome performances.
Nesbitt taking gold in the women's short-track 1000m. She was awesome.

Not to mention the commercials. I kept giggling over the Old Spice Body Wash commercial. And I groove out when the AT&T commercial comes on, with Ohno and the XX. And the "say 'ah'" morphing into "Ode to Joy" for GE... pretty cleaver.

I watch way too much TV during the Olympics. I need to get out of my apartment!!
