Things that surprise...and things that don't

What didn't...

That NBC found a way to drag out what probably was at most a three-hour Olympic Opening Ceremony to a excruciating four-and-a-half hours of their own version of commercial-filled Chinese water torture.

That I watched all four-and-a-half hours. (What an asshole.)

What did...

That 2008 Tai Chi experts managed to form and maintain a perfect circle throughout their routine. Impressive...most impressive.

Thankfully, I missed the opening ceremonies. We're in England on vacation for 3 weeks and won't get to see ANY of the olympics on NBC. It's all BBC coverage for us.

Just an early note: there are WAAAAY fewer commercials on the channel covering the olympics. WAAAY fewer. I know you're weeping already.

This might say it's Corey posting, but it's really Chris. No one else posts, that I know of.
