Olympic Hangover

I've never had a hangover before. But I think how I feel now is how you must feel with a hangover. In my case there is no alcohol to blame, only the blasted Olympics.

This week men's and women's gymnastics has been on every night until very late. I start watching around 8 and I just can't pull myself away. Even when it gets to be midnight and the rational part of my brain is telling me to go to sleep, I just can't. I just love watching gymnastics too much. The gymnasts are incredible and it reminds me of the good ol' gymnastics days. After watching this many days of late night Olympics, I finally have the new scoring system figured out. So I guess that's one good thing amidst all the sleep deprivation. As much as I love gymnastics, I'm kind of glad it's almost over, just so I can start getting some decent sleep. Dang those Olympics!

it is so true. so true. i hate that they are so late. and then what is with all the commentary and "stuff". i mean, they only have so much time, i want to see everything! fill the time up with other sports. enough with bella karolie. i can't understand him anyway.

I have the oppisite problem.. I was in the middle of watching an intense badmitton match at 2:30 pm and I fell asleep... What a dilemma!
