anonymoose_au10:16pm: I think I'm bad luck for gymnasts...I'm watching the apparatus finals and gymnasts are falling left, right and centre! Simone Biles didn't even get a medal on the Balance Beam! Zhang the favourite on the High Bar did a solid routine and then fell flat on his face on the dismount! Women's Floor is next, but I should probably go to bed because I've been staying up way too late these past few nights, plus you know being a jinx!
Strangely enough, Simone Biles got docked .3 points for not bowing to the judges which was part of why she lost out on a medal, which is hella weird and reminds me of that movie Stick It (I think it's called), I mean it's not like she gave them the finger she just didn't do the whole arms in the air thing. Harsh.
As a palate cleanser, so to speak here's Alexei Nemov being epic 20 years ago on the High Bar. We'll just ignore that he didn't even get a medal for this awesomeness :OP (I totally booed for 10 minutes from home along with the crowd).
The Men's High Bar has finished and there's a tie for bronze! And Zhang from China got one of them, so good for him, although the other bronze medallist is from Taiwan, which feels a bit a awkward, wonder how that's gonna go in their two respective countries!
Also a kid from Colombia got silver, so that's cool too.
But yeah, I should get to bed because once again I've neglected to write any McFly July prompts primarily because I had a raging headache when I got home from work. Fortunately the ibuprofen helped it out, but that's like the second evening in a row. Concerning!
Before I go, it was back to work today and alas I was a bit late as usual, and it proved to be a busy day for me indeed, now that the deliveries of new books have started up again I have to match the packing slips to the invoices and that can take a very long time indeed! Plus the Inter Library Loans and there was also a Zoom Meeting of NSW Inter Library Loans people too.
So yeah, better wrap this up, I have to get my masks out of the washing machine and hang them up so they're dry for tomorrow.
Also the Friday Five...apparently they're looking for help, because at the moment only two people are doing the questions. I wonder if I should put my hand up, but I dunno. It seems others have put their hands up so that's cool.
I can't remember now where I was up to with it!
I think it's was...
The Friday Five
16/2/24
In Celebration of President's Day
1. Have you ever been the president of anything? Hahahaha, oh Hell no!
2. What do you think is the most important leadership trait? Humility and a willingness to listen to others, especially if they know better or may have expertise you lack.
3. What time period did you find the most interesting to learn about in history class? Ooo, that's a toughie...I enjoy studying history in general! I do enjoy finding out about the Georgian period and also the Victorian period.
4. What's something you think about doing, but you haven't gotten back into in several years? Well, I'm back into writing these days, which I'm most relieved about because there was a period when I didn't write at all and it was not cool.
5. If you could add one more random holiday to February, what would it be? Um, BBQ Day, because that how we roll here in Australia. :OP
Some of those questions look familiar, but others' don't so yeah, apologies if I have done that one.
Right so the Floor Final is on, the women seem to be doing all right so far... apparently this has been an unusually long Gymnastics comp - they had a break in the middle for the Trampoline competition, so maybe that explains the falling rather than me. :OP
On that note though, I gotta run!
Goodnight all!
