Well, if not funny, at least ironical.
I'm looking at the children's choir wondering if any of them are actually singing.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.
Best quote from my mom: The London mayor looks pretty sloppy.
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.

According to wikipedia [link] , the guy who wrote "My Country, 'tis of Thee" didn't know that the melody was already being used for the British national anthem. However, it also says "citation needed."

You know, the final parade of athletes would be the perfect time to orchestrate a defection--go over and swap outfits with someone, or maybe have a spare orange shirt and white shorts that a person could slip into. Credentials are kind of tucked anywhere, so it wouldn't be so easy to see if someone snuck into another country's contingent.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am not watching the Olympics, but I was watching a Freddie Mercury tribute which ended with footage of him walking out on stage with "God Save the Queen" playing.
Also, George michael did a great job singing Somebody to Love-- was he out in 1992, because if he was not, that makes the song really sad to me.
