They got some NieR in too.



Apparently Emi Evans and J'nique Nicole heard it at the same time as everybody else, which must have been a trip and a half.

I know they've snuck Final Fantasy ballads into figure skating events in decades prior, but I can't find much record of it at the moment.

One of the announcers who keeps talking while I'm trying to listen to Frog's theme was just talking about how Imagine is a song that really represents the Olympic spirit and I mean yeah I know when I think of what the Olympics is all about the first thing I think of is "imagine there's no countries"

Aye, that they did.

Didn't even know it was on, never mind that we were the host city. Saw NOTHING in the news or on the streets

Oh hey, the Diamondbacks are going to the World Series.

I haven't watched a ball game in years, but maybe I'll find time to tune in.

I've got fond memories of the last time they made it, watching game 7 in Afro Jon's dorm at NAU, everybody pouring out into the halls and slapping each other on the back. (Except Afro Jon, who isn't from Arizona and who I realized at that point had been rooting for the Yankees but had had the good sense to keep it to himself.)

Ah, I feel a surge of nostalgia for those carefree days of *checks notes* fall 2001.

And I picked a great game to tune in for!

Like, a team that's down by two runs ties it up in the bottom of the ninth and then pulls it out in the 11th? That's just a great goddamn baseball game right there. I mean, yeah, theoretically I like the ones my team wins better, but I think I'm probably right in the sweet spot of being just emotionally invested enough that I'm engaged with the game but not enough that it particularly bothers me when the home team loses.

This could turn out to be a pretty exciting World Series! And even if it doesn't, well, we've already got one exciting game out of it.
