Hey! I don't wanna watch guys running round the same ol' track daily for the next two weeks. Bring on Sex and the City and Nip/Tuck.

I watched some of the opening ceremony which was on earlier today, it was spectacular.

What channel...

"hey kid, don't worry about it! I was just breaking your balls, you know how it is"

I always skip the opening ceremony. That's some boring ass shit.

You people are borinnnnnggggg. Anyway you missed some good stuff, it's over now though.

They were going over some ancient history, and there was this blue guy floating around in the air and there were a bunch of people in costumes( how the greeks dressed back then) and there was a guy in the air walking on a cube while it was spinning and and... there was a boy in a paper boat and...um there was a lot of artwork that was beautifully done. It was too much too take in. I can't explain it all, but it was the most exciting and interesting thing I ever saw, I think.

What! The pie eating contest?

unlucky7 said:

You forgot Bjork singing, orrrr erm playbacking!

PS, I saw most of it, just went internetting when the athletes came spilling in, which only fun if you are an athlete spilling in.

The opening ceremony was amazing. I loved the sculptures that tumbled apart in slow motion and had to cry when they started playing Maria Callas.

The blue guy (Eros) was beautiful. I think the person who choreagraphed that sequence should get a gold medal!

PS I thought the blue in the fake paper boat was a bit over sentimental and tacky.

I watched it 'till the dutch team walked into the olympic stadion and was suprised abt the number of athletes Holland has....116!!! for such a small country

gooeythehamster said:

yeah

I'm always surprised at how many countries have the Union Jack as part of their flag. It's as if Britain invaded everyone at one point.

I'm assuming you meant to say boy, I thought he was sooo cute. I wanted to grab him and cuddle him.

Nobody told me what channel...

Am I the only person here who really does not give a fuck about this?
