Too bad I haven't made a video since March! MARCH. I can't believe it's been so long.


Something I've noticed about the Olympics: the United States wins a lot of medals. Okay, duh. But I've been reading through my flist and as a multi-cultural bunch, it's so wonderful to see different perspectives on the games from people all around the world. In the U.S. our viewpoint is completely reversed. It seems that we simply expect to win gold and a lot of it. And because of that, in a big way, each medal earned is quickly forgotten.

I'm not that much of a sports fan to begin with, so I haven't been paying close attention. But throughout the games, the few times I've had a chance to watch, I tend to find myself rooting for the "other guy." I do find the games inspiring and I am proud of my country when we do well, but maybe I'm just a sucker for the underdog. For example? I really really wanted somebody to upset Michael Phelps. I mean, could you imagine the kind of local hero that guy would become? The guy who beat the seemingly unbeatable guy? It would be epic.

A:: 30% less plastic. (But wouldn't that just be an eco-bottle? How can something be eco-shaped? I want answers, Deer Park!)
