I say give him a week or two of hype to enjoy
He's had the week. I'm just wishing NBC would stop wringing every penny they can out of him.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

I noticed a number of Belgians in Track & Field events. It surprised me. Have they always done well there?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can totally see INTO THE FUTURE, you guys! Plus my hair is long. It is apparently startling.

I'm digging the closing ceremonies for the Olympics. It's like Busby Berkeley on steroids. Awesome.

Seeing into the future would be a useful skill for the purchasing of lotto tickets.
Also, the big floating drums at the closing ceremonies look like giant floating edam cheese. Am I the only one who wasn't really impressed with the opening ceremonies (nor am I impressed so far with the closing. Like I'm confounded by the drummers in bile helmets and the glowing bells. I'm not feeling the harmoniousness.

Though I will say, I'd love to have a go at the pogo shoes! I'm not sure why I think that, but it looks fun.

Honestly, I think the glowy stuff was an effect best viewed in the wide angle. Loses its impact up close. Though the guys who lit up to be the color of the algae bloom still crack me up.

I think the close-ups kinda ruin the effect, Kat. It demystifies it too much. From a distance, I find it impressive. But, yeah, the bike helmets are funny. But, I want to ride one of those wheel-bike thingies. They look fun, too.
