Let the Games begin...

The Olympics are in full swing! I watched the opening ceremonies, and I enjoyed most of it. Pavoratti(sp?) was amazing, the F1 car doing donuts in the middle of the stadium was awesome, and the incredible amount of pyrotechnics was cool. The only thing I didn't like was the weird seating of the atheletes (it was supposed to represent the Italian piazza) and the horrible choice of music the atheletes had to walk in to. 80's American pop tunes? The incredibly talented skiers and hockey players from around the world walking into the the stadium to YMCA? Time to hire a new event manager, IOC.
Other than that, the Olympics have been quite interesting. Shaun White recently took Gold for the snowboard halfpipe after screwing up his first run, and Michelle Kwan dropped out of the Games completely due to a groin injury. Very interesting indeed.

Other than that, life goes on much as it has this past age. It actually snowed yesterday, which confounded me. When I returned to Kansas, I wore shorts!!!! Stupid Kansas weather patterns...or non-patterns. Anyways, not much has been going on. The highlight of the week so far has been the viewing of the excellently horrible original Batman movie. Wow. That's all that will be said about that.
