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.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

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.

I thought of big wheels of cheese too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Didn't we learn earlier that softball got kicked out of the Olympics because the US was too dominant? Pretty funny, then, that they lost the gold medal game!

Well, if not funny, at least ironical.
I'm looking at the children's choir wondering if any of them are actually singing.

I always assume that nothing is actually live in a stadium, but I'm not sure why that is. I mean, why I think that. Too many Superbowl halftime shows, maybe.

Yep. Plus the organizers have proven to have no problems with being sort of fakers about it all.

Everyone's a critic.
Also, I'm reading The Likeness, which is good. And my favorite new term of insult in the book? Wankstain!

I'm a little behind, and am once again reminded of what suckers we are as a nation that we STILL use "God Save the Queen" for one of our most popular patriotic songs. I get it at first -- flipping the script on the old homeland or whatever -- but still??

“Not dead yet!”
This is beyond surreal. I mean, Jimmy Page has got bongs that are older than Leona Lewis.
