They said it couldn't be done. With three relays on which he had to rely on others to help with the gold count, Michael Phelps swam into history and the heart of America, and the world, with eight gold medals. Mark Spitz's record held for 36 years. In 1972 he set the record, which few doubted would ever be broken. Eight medals in one Olympic games? Impossible.

( It's the Olympics, man, they only come every four years! )

Well, we'll finish out the week and see what happens. Here's to the games!

So, my iPod died.

( Now I hunt for a new one... )

Since the start of the Olympics started up, I'm enjoying my time glued to the TV. I've really been into women's soccer, beach volleyball, and swimming. In the past I stuck to gymnastics and diving - but this year I'm gung ho for pretty much everything. I want to see if Michael Phelps can break Mark Spitz's record of 7 gold medals. I think he can do it, since I swear the kid is part fish.

i justify my obessive watching with pride in my country and the fact that it happens every four years and not every day. I hope that women's gymnastics will make it happen when it counts, but I'm not sure after watching last night. I guess we'll see.
