The US Olympians have certainly been bringing home the glory with their amazing achievements - Gabby Douglas, Missy Franklin, the Williams sisters and many others have been smashing records and making history with their wins.  But sometimes merely qualifying for the Olympics is a win in itself - just ask Oscar Pistorius of South Africa.  (HuffPo)

Also glorious?  These images from MTV's "House of Style."  You can almost hear Jon Stewart thinking "What the hell am I doing here?" in the third photo.  (Buzzfeed)

Annyong, all! I've been reminiscing and going through old souvenirs from lifetimes ago, and I've also been thinking a lot about food. After living in South Korea, I lost a TONNE of weight. I think it was mostly due to the food. It was delicious, and also incredibly healthy...so this week's link are going to start off with some food-stuffs.

What kind of Korean food did I enjoy? Pretty much everything on this list. (Listverse)
