It's 11pm.

I'm dead tired.

There's only ONE swimming race left tonight.

The one with Phelps in.

So what does NBC do?

SWITCH TO FREAKING GYMNASTICS.

Which, you know, I'd also like to see, but I'm not going to stay up for a whole new sport.

Thanks ever so much, NBC. Because that beach volleyball game and the synchronized diving was SO THRILLING. In the way it wasn't. At all.

In other news, I spayed one cat, neutered two normal cats, and went hunting for a rogue testicle in a cryptorchid cat. All of this almost makes up for the 11.5 hour day.

EDIT: They must be reading my journal now, because after the commercial break, as I was about to turn off the TV, back came Phelps. It was a semifinal, but it was fun anyway.

Dear NBC: Yes. Like that. Only, say, an hour or two earlier.

*waves from the 'Golden' state* Yeah, NBC is still broadcasting 8pm-1:30am here. Evidently they decided since all of China has only one time zone, the US should follow suit. Which would be fine, if they actually followed the laws of reality and started broadcasting Olympics at, like, 5pm. But then they wouldn't be able to fit in 'Entertainment Tonight' and society as we know it might collapse into mush. *wry*

See, what they *should* do is keep the live stuff at the same relative time across the whole country, and then fit in the other stuff around it.

Instead of putting diving and beach volleyball before the live stuff on the West Coast, they should keep the live stuff live and put the prerecorded stuff *after*.

But that would make *sense*.

Sorry, we don't do things that make sense here. We need to make it as crazy as possible. Sense is boring.
