Where were you last night? SK and I were parked in front of the TV, singing along to the Olympic song. The pyrotechniques were wonderful in the opening ceremony, and I loved watching the nations proudly marching in. I’ll be on the edge of my seat for the next two weeks, to see how the drama with Chad Hedrick (who already won the first USA gold), Michelle Kwan and Bode Miller pans out. Luckily, through the power of Tivo, we won’t have to miss a single event.

Just in case: NBC Olympic coverage and Yahoo! Olympic Coverage

Lsst ngiht TheGirlfriend and I were curled up oin front of the TV watching Tivo reply the opening ceremonies as well.

Tomorrow we watch Matrix and Star Wars (2 movies TheGirlfriend has never seen) Can you believe there are still people out there that have access to electricity and have not seen Matrix and/or Star Wars yet?

Briani — I have yet to convince Jaxia that she needs to see Star Wars (even though I have the original trilogy on both VHS and DVD and have explained to her that it is unAmerican and just plain weird to be a child of the 70’s who has missed this rite of passage). So, yes: I can believe that there are still people out there that have access to electricity and have not seen Star Wars. Any chance you’d be willing to come to Texas and help me convince her?

She hasn’t seen Star Wars either?

I tried showing the original movie to TheGrildfriend, but after avbout 30 minutes she was giving me the “bored now” sigh. She said she was just tired, but I was ableto use my finely tuned boyfriend intuition and we found something else to watch. (In this case Ultimate Fighting Championships greatest knockouts. Yep, my gal likes seeing the big boys beat each other up)

We definitely need to figure out a plan.

You know I am always willing to come to Texas, it is just when I am able (and also when it is under 100 degrees:))

It has been tougher to watch this year, I agree.

I like watching the coverage on the Canadian channel CBC. They seem to do a better job of actually coverng the sport as opposed to NBC that likes to focus onlyon the events were the US is going to win a medal and is a good human interest story.
