Missives From Troy

I am Helen Doremus. I write. I sing. I create things. I do kung fu. I wear a hat. I occasionally curse. I like pie. When I make a thing that's meant to amuse, it comes here to live.

Who I Follow

Not Gonna Lie…

I always get a bit depressed when the Olympics are over, but I think I’m really going to miss the London 2012 games.

Not NBC’s coverage, though.

Happily, I’ll be in London in a year’s time (come hell or high water), so I can console myself with that thought.

(And of course, now they’re going to start talking about a D/FW Olympic bid again. Sit down, Jerry Jones. We don’t have the fucking infrastructure.)

Also, Eric Idle? You continue to be the most amazing person ever. You were the best thing about the closing ceremony, and I could have watched you ham it up (maybe with the giant inflatable octopus?) all night long. You are win, sir. You are win.
