That was absolutely amazing. That is the greatest spectacle I have ever seen in my life. It was just magnificent in all aspects, from the drums to the moving blocks to the calligraphy print to the modern day colors to the taek-won-do. WOW!

I liked the opening ceremony- pretty darn cool. I know that's an understatement but I think you'd have to be there to really get a grasp on how neat it looks. Well, except for Matt Lauer. And I'm not a big Costas fan either (it's not pronounced "Cape Verd", guys).
Also, I've decided DVR is really the way to go for the Olympics. I could fast forward through some of the countries and still see them but in fast motion.
Same with the events- like gymnastics- just fast forward to the dismount and you'll see how they grade crap (*grumble, grumble*)
That said, I just love the wall-to-wall sports. I didn't care about the US-centric rowing this morning because I'm not a huge rowing fan. So I was flipping back and forth between the Canada-China women's soccer game and the Italy-Russia volleyball match.
