Hi gang. It’s one a.m. and I’m 180 pages into the GG3 copyedits–you know, the time when I sit in a room the size of a closet with a manuscript, a colored pencil and pencil sharpener and the big orange eraser that I’ve had since my days at OSU.
Oh, and there’s usually Diet Coke.
LOTS of Diet Coke.
And little mini Kit Kat bars.
And some banana bread.
And microwave popcorn.
SO. MUCH. POPCORN.
hey, maybe that’s why I’m feeling a little loopy?
Anyway, I just finished watching a (mostly) fast forwarded version of tonight’s Olympics coverage and I’m seriously trying to decide what Olympic event I should try for in 2012.
I mean, I know that a 33 year-old woman took home a medal on the vault (YAY HER!) but seriously, she’s probably been doing gymnastics for years and I don’t think I could really learn it at this point in my life.
And I’ve pretty much ruled out track because…well…it appears to involve an awful lot of running.
And obviously beach volleyball is a non-starter because of the offensive bikinis (that I would rather have root canal than wear). Plus, I’m not big on sand. And I don’t live near any beaches.
I’ve considered speed walking since walking is a skill that I currently posses.
Also, competitive table tennis holds a great deal of appeal since I think it would be incredibly handy to participate in a sport for which you can train in your garage.
I saw a clip of the women’s air pistol competition and frankly that looked like something that I could totally do and not have it take away from my banana bread/Kit Kat obsession, so that’s a huge plus.
Oh, and let’s not forget archery. I don’t know anything about archery, but I know a lot of men who hunt deer so I’m thinking I could pick it up.
So what do you guys think? Because to be honest I should probably decide pretty soon if I’m going to make the London games.
