on this Olympic's gymnastics

Ouch. It seems like all the gymnasts this Olympics are falling off their apparatii, or are falling on their asses on the dismounts. The only sport I'm really following this Olympics is gymnastics. I'm going to watch Natalie Du Toit compete for South Africa in swimming.

This whole age controversy with the Chinese gymnasts makes me rather sad. One governing body will take what another gave them at face value, the first saying the papers weren't forged, even though there's newspaper articles in the gymnasts home country listing her as very underage? It seems like neither group wants to take responsibility that someone there fucked up severely, or was bribed. Very sad.

Huh. Looks like I'll be seeing that new Brad Pitt movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Bratt, or whatever it's called. It reminds me of an episode of Star Trek voyager, where the children are born fully grown (now, they didn't explain it, so don't look at me like that), and are left by a cave at an advanced age (and then they look ten-ish) to be eaten by some energy monster of some kind. I think the story arch was rather Tovul related.

Side-bar linked to my Ravelry page. Need to take pictures of my lovely, lovely stash.
