Throw Up, Pass Out, Wake Up

From the lyrics of Another Irish Drinking Song by Da Vinci's Notebook...
I first heard this song while browsing through the Internet where I found The Friars' videos (they are an acapella group) and they were singing that song, after tweaking it a little... They are really good and some of their performances are hilarious :) Way to go guys!
Right now I've got so many PTs to complete and a whole lot of revision to do. I guess I'm just blogging for relaxation, even though I know I probably really cannot afford to. I have to go through math now (Alternative Assessment) because there will be a discussion period tomorrow and I can't leave everything for my partner to do because that would just be mean...
Haven't been watching much of the Olympics lately, just snippets of it when I pass the television sets set up in the school canteen (sometimes shown in the foyer). I caught some of the synchronised swimming today but that was the duet thing. The one scene that stayed in my mind for a very long time for synchronised swimming was actually this one time where the Italian group's (once upon a very long time ago, not during this Olympics...) music could not be started and they had to start their entire routine again... Quite sad but they were really good, oh and before them was the Japanese team doing their routine to some Ninja/ Samurai song. Haiya! Unique...
Men's trampoline yesterday... Really nice event to watch, their form and style were just so perfect... China's Lu Chunlong taking Gold with 41.00, Canada's Jason Burnette taking Silver with 40.70 and China's Dong Dong taking Bronze with 40.60. Can't wait for the synchronised ones...
Before Trampoline was Women's (not on the same day) Floor event Finals for Gymnastics. Shawn Johnson was great coming in Silver but was overtaken in terms of score by Romania's Sandra Izbasa who had the highest level of difficulty and still performed the routine perfectly. Following them was Nastia Liukin (with Bronze), the all-rounded Gold medalist.
That's all I've caught so far. I've managed to strike off all the events in my must-watch list except for Rhythmic Gymnastics, which begins tomorrow (21st Aug) and Women's High Jump, which unfortunately was shown while classes were in session :( I only managed to see one jump on my way to Assembly...
