I have been trying to watch the Olympics, a frustrating experience. Though I have an expanded digital cable package, I have been frustrated at the timing and the content of what is on all these channels. When I try to watch the evening fare, it seems to be oriented towards the East Coast...the delays are for prime time there but that means it is bad timing for me. At 9 pm, my choice of Olympic sports seems to be Beach Volleyball...every night.
Now, I have nothing against beach volleyball, but I want to be watching the swimming or the gymnastics or (especially tennis, but that's another story). And I am OLD and I go to bed at 10pm. Yes, I am THAT old.
As for the TENNIS:
So, I am now sitting here, watching yesterday's Nadal vs. Djokovic semifinal. Which is AWESOME, btw.
Who won?
I have been staying up "relatively" late (not 1:00 a.m., though!) and it has been frustrating. If I had a better grip on the televised schedule, I could record it on DVR, but we just don't tend to think that far in advance. I have to say that I'm very tired of beach volleyball! (Guess they figure those bikinis will bring in the testosterone ratings!)

As I said, I don't stay up late cuz I'm too old. At 10, my eyes seem to shut on their own accord. And my bed is so comfortable, it calls to me...

A couple of nights I've stayed up until 1 to watch, but that can't continue. I would like to see more of a variety of sports also--not always swimming and gymnastics. (much as I love gymnastics!)
