Yeah they were talking over the blessing dude! shut up and let us hear it!
But this is a really cool opening ceremony so far. And I love the pants from the one A country, I forgot already.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Bob Costas and Matt Lauer just need to SHUT. THE. HELL. UP!
Seconded.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm about 12 minutes behind, because I kept rewinding to catch everything that Costas/Lauer were talking over!

SHUT. THE. HELL. UP. is my response to 90% of the Olympics commentary that is not describing the actual event in progress.

It's stopped snowing, and it's so beautiful. A couple-three inches of heavy snow on all the trees. I've lived in the south so long it's always a surprise to me now.
Thinking about this Univ. Alabama Hunstville case. Quite honestly instability is probably not much of a hurdle in attaining tenure - in fact I think in some ways academia fosters instability, or at least accommodates it in ways other walks of life don't. I mean, Hil's advisor's behavior would never be tolerated in a regular workplace. Of course, I'm speaking from a town where a tenured professor killed his estranged wife and two other people less than a year ago at a public event, and in retrospect, the man was looney tunes for ages. There's just such egotism in academia, even among the nice people. Being in a room with faculty is exhausting to me now. All this jockeying for power. And there's so little psychological separation between the self and the job.

Yes we know! North and South Korea are not marching together! There are some things they don't have to say over and over.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They have the full new We Are The World up here: [link] Some...odd choices. I would have done without both Original Michael Jackson and anyone singing through Autotune, personally.

I hope Autotune use dies out sometime soon and we can start hearing real singing again.
