Channel toggling between Olympics and The Hurt Locker.  Humanity from two different views.  I might get dizzy.

Is it possible to be shy about posting porn on a sex site?

I'm loving the Olympics with a few minor exceptions.

I feel a little bad that I'm cheering against the US Men in basketball... but not bad enough not to do it. 

Even the tenor of the Phelps/Lochte swimming rivalry turns me off a little.  I just want to smack the announcer when he utters phrases like, "fails to metal," or even better when the interviewer ASKS, "how does it feel that you've failed to medal?"  I'd rather watch the interviews where the the competitors are just excited to be there. 

I wonder if Hope Solo has a brother named Hans.

US women (fútbol) kicked ass against France.  Once they got past the first twenty minutes, anyways.

There are lots of different ways to approach someone here on CM.  I think they generally fall into two categories:

1)  approach techniques that wouldn't seem weird if you were starting a conversation with a stranger in a face-to-face vanilla situation

2) approach techniques that Would seem weird in a face-to face vanilla situation

NPR segment on the unauthorized Disney event on state TV in North Korea... they interviewed some expert, per usual, all very serious until:

"I think this is an outstanding opportunity to pursue unconventional statecraft towards Pyongyang. The US should employ weaponized Disney Princesses."

Lol.  I almost crashed the car.

Please let me know if you figure out how to SAVE a game?  I suspect it's not possible, but I'd Love to be proved wrong.

Following the Olympic trials and the Tour de France.  Who are these girls that parade out in uniform dresses to escort the trial medals?  Who in the world are these girls that are standing in yellow dresses, clapping, next to the tour de France podium when they show flashbacks to previous winners.  Sigh.

Just finished a run in 103oF weather.  There's really nothing better for a psychedelic trip except, perhaps, drugs.  

In in the AC now, but don't expect anything rational for at least another 3-4 hours.

I was contemplating, on this run/trip, exactly how perverse it is that I ENJOY pushing myself and doing something as arguably stupid as running in these kinds of temperatures, in the middle of the day.  Of course, I had Planned to run in the morning.  But it was also hot in the morning, so the psyching-myself-up-for-my-run part of my run took me until the afternoon.  When it was hotter. 

It's possible that I have more water dripping off of my body as sweat than I actually have in my body.  But that's gross.  And I'm a girl.  So I probably shouldn't mention that.  It's probably like going #2 - we just don't talk about it. 

So this run had me thinking that perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that I'm interested in pushing sexual limits since I'm so willing to push physical limits.  And it made me think about something someone wrote to me about the pros and cons of keeping emotion out of sex, and treating it more casually.  The thing is, I don't want to be careful and analytical about SEX, so that limits my partners to people I trust - which means I have to know them And like them.  The reason is, sex, especially kinky sex, especially fun boundary pushing kinky sex, will probably be pushing emotional/mental boundaries as well as physical ones.  So unless I trust my partner with my emotional/mental status, then I'm going to spend the entire time second guessing and being analytical about the whole thing.  Which is kinda a mood killer.  So no stranger sex for me.  Unless I'm really drunk.  Kidding.  Mostly.  ;)

By the way, I have a confession.  The first person shooter I referred to in my last journal entry?  Yeah, you were probably thinking Doom or Quake or Holes whatever the hell it is kids play these days.  I was thinking NES simulator Duck Hunting.  That's right.  DUCK HUNTING.  It's a first person shooter!  You're just shooting pixel ducks instead of highly graphic head explosions.

Some days first person shooters are really the only option.

And not being any good at them doesn't make them Any less therapeutic.

This came on my ipod while I was at work... needless to say, suddenly I was thinking naughty thoughts.

"Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination

Silently the senses abandon their defenses"

"Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar

And you live as you've never lived before"

Oh Yes Please.

 p.s.  For you subs out there, this is Not a prelude to some shopping list.  I'm just sharing my quirkier trousseau; I'm not interested in your money.

My enjoyment of the ridiculous is Almost developed enough to invest in a pair of these:

And then reality intrudes.

I've been corrupted.  And browsing Tumblr sites.  It's a wonder anyone gets anything productive done with their day:

RIP Bradbury.

Most current events are probably not relevant on sites like this but since Fahrenheit 451 is essentially a warning against societal censorship it seems an appropriate venue to honor his accomplishments and mourn his passing.

And in that theme, I'll share one of my favorite quotes,

"'The time has come,' the Walrus said, 'To talk of many things: Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing-wax -- Of cabbages -- and kings -- And why the sea is boiling hot -- And whether pigs have wings.'"  from Charles Dodgson.

Thank you for the replies to my last journal entry!  I got an excellent tutorial on the "Favorites" section.  Shockingly, not many replies to the grammar question.  Just shocked.

What is the function of the "admirer" section?  And why does it seem a little incomplete...

It looks like I can "admire" someone from the overview section, but not when I'm looking at their full profile.  And once I do "admire" someone, how do I go see the list of people that I'm currently "admiring"?

[ASIDE: For any grammar hounds... maybe you can also explain to me whether the "?" goes inside or outside the quotes.  If it was a period I'd put it inside, but since the sentence is a question but the quoted word is not... it goes outside?]

Are the people that are "admiring" me hoping that I'll write them?  Are they admiring me so I'll Know they admire me, or so that they can bookmark my profile for later possible contact.  tricky.

Watching Battlestar Gallactica on Netflix.

And it's a Mozart and Magic Flute kinda night.
