He married into a great Canadian family. His father in law was the father of universal health care.

Which makes Kiefer the Nephew of universal health care!

If only we could get Jack Bauer on the case, we'd have it by President's Day.

kd looked like she'd borrowed David Byrne's giant suit!

I kept thinking she was Kyle McLaughlin.

Canadians, sorry about your cauldron, eh.

Yuu guys are missing Wayne Gretzky being driven in the back of a pick-up to the site of the outdoor flame being followed by crowds of drunken, screaming people.

Awwwww, that kinda makes the whole thing ok.

Whoa, the whale on the floor effect was impressive.

Society of Spectacle, meet Vancouver.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Huh. I couldn't help but make the Buffy connections when they went from Donald Sutherland to Sarah McLachlan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

(Still on West Coast delay.)

The punk rock fiddling tap dancing thing is just so very very Emma Bull. Oh those Bordertown stories - I never thought your aesthetic would turn up as an Olympic opening ceremony.

At least for once they are not talking or translating over the French.

ETA: Note to NBC, if we have to suffer tape delay, can't you at least edit so it doesn't run late? Thnx.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I don't get it. i'm watching the re-showing of the opening ceremonies that started around 3am. I know it wasn't broadcast live to begin with, yet after every commercial break they have to "catch up" with "the countries we missed". Um, really? All the cameramen took a break? At the same time? Those short quilted skirts look cold.

eta: Dear Canada: thank you for Sarah McLachlan. Really.

I'm seeing a lot of fake snow around the dancers' feet. *squirm* someone please tell me that those professional dancers are performing on a smooth, solid surface with no loose debris on which to slip? Please? *twitch*
