I enjoyed watching the womens bike race this morning through where I used to live. Beautiful even in the rain.

Did anybody else find it strange Elton John, George Michael, and Culture Club weren't in the song medley but some tattooed weirdo I've never heard of was? True Elton was bigger here than there but he's still a big part of their music history.

Yeah I was surprised by a few music montage omissions including Duran Duran.

Does anybody watch gymnastics? I heard some big news about the qualifying rounds regarding USA for individuals, but are we allowed to post results or anything? I've resigned that I'm going to hear the spoilers and I'm still going to enjoy it when it comes on.

^ Four years ago I posted a running total of the medal count.

But other than that I don't want to spoil, although sometimes the medal board does that.

Gymnastics in my favorite. The women's team is doing quite well so far. I'm trying to avoid the spoilers though.

Yeah, that was kind of a bummer with them rolling up the sod and all...then replacing it with the stinky, smokestacks and grime...I was thinking of Dickens.

Like I already said, I was hoping for Knights and Ladies in Waiting, Hobbits...such a rich history of literature and storytelling!

I really liked all of the musical selections, the Queen's entrance and the torch lighting though.

And Mr. Bean...can't forget him.

Rowan Atkinson is a genius. Wasn't so keen with the stuffed they filmed on the beack a la Chariots of Fire, but the live stuff where he was at the keyboard stuck playing that one note from the theme tune was priceless. The stuff he does with his face, never fails to get me in stitches....then he pulled that umbrella out to hold down the key!!

I cracked up when he wiped his nose and tossed the tissue past the other musician.

Where did you used to live? It passed near me earlier (Richmond, Twickenham, Hampton Court).

Last night I saw men's gymnastics...and one man caught my eye....because he looks A LOT like my boyfriend. In fact, they have pretty much the exact same face.

Jacob Dalton!!! just add two inches in height and take away a lot of the muscle mass and you get my boyfriend.

Cerebus would like to have sex with pretty much the entire Brazillian womens vollyeball team. Preferably at the same time.
