Michael Phelps is having a blast at the Olympic village.
He's been watching movies, playing spades with his roommates and is showing off his Fu Manchu mustache.
He says he's having fun. After all the work he's put in the last four years, a few intense days right before the big meet is probably the last thing he needs.
Phelps says he's preparing the best way he can.
He adds that he hasn't said anything about breaking any records. He says he and his coach are the only people who knows his goals for the games.
Phelps' eight events are the 200 meter freestyle, the 100 and 200 butterfly, the 200 and 400 individual medley, the 400 and 800 freestyle relays and the 400 medley relay.
