Can You Hear Me Now?

I can speeeeeeeak again!!1!!!1!! Laura reminded me that when she was on voice rest after her throat surgery, she had to use a pen and paper, and her family started writing replies on the paper instead of saying them out loud. Ahahaha!! It is so weird. At last, no one has to whisper to me anymore.

Facebook announced granular privacy settings for individual postings to the news feed and your wall from apps. Well I've been using it with Mafia Wars for several weeks. Maybe they beta'd it with Zynga or something. It's working well for me!

Snowboard cross was way fun to watch, but I just love halfpipe. There is a lot of "Oooh!" and "Ahhh!" and "Ohhh!!" The tricks are amazing! Vito is so adorable with the iPod, not only plugging into it for his runs, but singing with it. What can you say about Shaun White. He so rules the sport.

I already knew Vonn had won gold in downhill during the day yesterday, but I just had to see it last night. That mountain was like ice. Crazy speeds and lots of falls. Vonn wins the award for best reaction to her win. The girl cried during her interview and then absolutely sobbed when she finally was able to hug her husband. I had to get the tissues. And to be on that podium when they play your national anthem has to be one of the greatest moments in one's life. You want to see someone present in the moment and appreciating the significance of their own achievement. It's disappointing to see someone stand there stoic. She was great. She was holding back from crying, but the tears were right there. Awesome.

Go to NBCOlympics.com and click "watch now" on any video. There's a BOSS button on the player that puts up a spreadsheet. Cute.
