Fireworks, etc.

Re: Olympics closing ceremony

Kudos, Beijing. This makes me ashamed of all my whining over tangled Christmas tree lights.


PS: Next time, more fireworks and fewer mimes. Just saying.

Thumbs up: those giant scarf things.

Thumbs down: those little caps.

 

[Katyusha]

Thumbs up: The athletes on the jet stairs as they put out the flame.

Thumbs down: Some of these costumes on that stage.

Thumbs up: Most of what I saw. Thumbs down: Those Godawful "pop" singers.

(Side comment: Robert Plant - he looked rather zombie-like. Must be pretty ancient. Makes me feel old - I remember when that song was on the top 40, and that album was God.)

Thumbs up to Ice Road Truckers, too, which is mostly what I was watching.

Amen. And Tibet, and the lead in my hotel toothpaste.




Does anyone miss Ribbon Gymnastics?

Me neither.

I'd wear it if I could sing with Placido.

Thumbs up: Jackie Chan singing.

I never know what he is saying, but it is always nice to hear him at the end of his movies that he sings on.

I think it's gorgeous but gotta say....I'm surprised there's not a worldwide jingle bell shortage. I think I'd go rather nuts having to wear all those bells.

At least she didn't have to wear stilts and rise out of a bus. That was globally embarassing.

I like to see them fly.
