I have not written anything on this blog for a while because (i) I have not had time and (ii) I have not had much of anything to report. It has been a busy summer editing the Big Brother guide and the amount of work I have done on the guide has allowed me to finally jump up to Level 33. I just have no idea what a Borg Queen refers to.

It seems as though most of the people that I knew from back in the day are either no longer here or are ignoring me (probably because I have been relatively inactive). Anyhow, if you are reading this, I hope you are well, and please drop me a line.

Wow! I have never, ever (even when it was easy to move up levels) jumped up two whole levels in such a short period. On the 19th, I was on Level 29 and today I am up to Level 31 (51%). I like my new icon - "Blues Brother." I do not even know what the Level 30 icon was. I hope it was not something cool, unlike that Volgar the Enforcer icon.

Congratulations also to the Women's Team USA Beach Volleyball squad on pulling home the gold!

Here's to the USA beating out China in the medal race.

P.S. I refuse to watch any sport where judging is involved. I am sick of the home field advantage.

It's official - Michael Phelps is now the most prolific Olympic athlete ever. He surpassed Mark Spitz's record of winning 7 gold medals during the 1972 Olympics. Just this past weekend, Phelps won a total of 8 gold medals in Bejing. Congratulations.

I have also jumped up to Level 29 - Volgar the Enforcer. I have no idea who this is, so I'm going to shoot to get bumped up to Level 30 as quickly as possible.
