I know, I know. I suck. That’s already been established many a time ’round here. Ask anyone.
Here’s the Jason Lezak video from his interview on the Ellen Degeneres Show back in September. I just know I capped it, but I can’t find it for the life of me! But, in my defense, I have over 300 GB of captured video from my TV card, so things sometimes get lost. It just sucks that it was Jason’s interview because he almost never gets tv airtime.
I’d apologize for the quality, but #1, it’s not my video (I found it on YouTube) and #2, any video is better than none, right? So enjoy!
I’ll have you all know that I do still have the Tara “What Not To Wear” video, and I know where it is! It’ll just take a little more effort to cut out the commercials because I have the attention span of a flea.
As much as it pains me to say this, The Swim Aid is leaving Minnesota early. Weather is starting to get bad here and in South Dakota, and their is talk of highways closing in South Dakota. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be stuck on a SD highway with nothing to see but corn!
We’re really bummed we can’t stay for the whole meet, we still had some serious chatting to do! So if you were getting up the nerve to approach us yesterday – sorry! Should have been faster! Oh, and remember – don’t be a finals ho, yo!
Because it took me so long to make up my mind if I wanted to go to this meet (I know – what was I thinking?!), I was unable to get deck passes, but it’s okay, because we had some good seats in the stands!
After spending some serious dough at Mall of America and getting through the hell known as Minnesota road construction (seriously, who puts detours IN DETUORS?!?!), we arrived to the meet, just 10 minutes late. But we still got to see our favorites swim! We even got in a brief chat with The Lochtenator! We just reminded him to say the word and we’ll get some Heineken to his house ASAP!
We were supposed to get a snowstorm today, but it never came! Hopefully it won’t mess up our plans for tomorrow!
Oh, and word to the wise: no grown man in his sane mind would risk jail time to be with a 13-year old. So doing the “bend and snap” bit is probably not encouraged. Don’t embarrass yourself anymore. Kay? Thanks!

And you thought no Swim Aids would take on the wind and snow in Minnesota for this Grand Prix! Ha! It’s like Spring Break weather here for me! If you don’t believe me, you should think about taking a trip to Brookings, SD! Brr!
So anyways, this is by far the smallest Swim Aid turnout for a meet – JUST ME! However, my friend Amanda is with me to keep me company. We couldn’t make prelims or finals today due to a test in my last class today, but two days of swimming should suffice! After all, who knows when my next meet will be!
I guess the big news here is that tomorrow is supposed to bring a touch of a blizzard. That’s nothing for me, but I hope some swimmers brought their coats! I’ll be inside all of the time anyways – hotel, Mall of America, pool. Awesome, no?
Well, I guess that’s all for this update. Short and sweet.

Tony Kornheiser, host of ESPN’s popular show “PTI” (Pardon the Interruption) dressed up as Sir Phelps for today’s show. I about died laughing. The t-shirt he’s wearing has nipples printed on it! You can’t see it from the following TV cap, but just know that it was there. Definitely a good laugh!
I wonder how many other peeps are going to be Mike for Halloween and/or trick-or-treat this year…
MP was also interviewed on “The View”. Watch it here.
We’d like to send a special lil’ shout out to the Swim Aids visitor with the coolest name in the world. Don’t even front like you don’t know who I’m talking about.
Facebook stalked Spindrift Beck for me and informed me that she has committed to the Texas Longhorns.
So, on behalf of all the Swim Aids, I’d like to extend another “Congrats!”
Suddenly I wish I was on 6th St. with those awesome people who do double dutch without the jump rope. Don’t try to understand that comment. There were only a couple of Swim Aids with me when that happened, and, to be perfectly honest, the rest of that night is blurry. But this is part of the reason why we like meets that take place in Austin so much!
P.S. I totally would have used one of the pictures from Trials that I’m pretty sure one of us took, but kiwi has ALLLLLL of the pictures still. So no can do!
The marketers of Guitar Hero went and signed the US sports world’s heavyweights for their new TV spot. You won’t get it if you haven’t heard of or seen the old Tom Cruise movie “Risky Business”.
It was nice of them to include Phelpsi in the ad with Kobe, Tony Hawk, and A-Rod. Also glad to see MP is letting his hair grow…
Regardless of the inclusion of swimming’s biggest name, it’s still Kobe Bryant FTW. Just keepin’ it real. It’s what I do.
