It appears that I haven't had an entry in awhile. I blame public education, video games, and popular music. Mostly though, I've just been tired, busy, and watching Michael Phelps. He's the same age as I am and already, I've won 2 Bible camp awards, at least 3 do-gooder ones, a free iPOD shuffle in a library raffle, and oh yeah, I was president of my junior class in high school. And what has the boy done? Eleven Olympic gold and counting. Bo-ring! (Seriously though, Michael Phelps, could you not swim so late in the day? I'd like to cheer you on, but I'm 12 hours behind and sleepy.)
So far in the games, Taiwan has won 2 bronze. Baseball play has started. And I'm jittery with anticipation. I'm sure it's just a rumor floating online, but I really hope it's true: there are reports that Taiwanese fans plan on getting around the flag ban by waving a Myanmar flag, which looks very much like the Taiwanese one, especially from a distance. Taiwan, as you may already know, competes in the Games as "Chinese Taipei" and is not allowed to have its flag be associated with the team. Protesters and fans who have tried to sneak flags in have been banned or even deported, but I really hope people try this. It'd be so fantabulously badass.
