olympics, old boy

mixed feelings about the opening ceremonies... the endless parade of nations continues and nothing new there, endless procession... it would be great if some creativity could spice that part up as it goes on for so long... the prelude to the parade was not great... probably my bias as celebrating the destruction of the pristine green countryside by ripping up the grass and raising polluting towers of the industrial revolution was a big turn off and then playing a soundtrack (no live music from the country that seconded rock and roll and so much music in the last 60 years?) behind kids dancing with a techie love story somehow tossed in was artistically bare and cheesy and without concluding with a serious ecological greening, i give it one star...

did i mention waaaay too many commercial interruptions, poor production (thumbs down for video editing, sound editing, and scripting), and oh yeah, waaaaaay too many commercials... very disappointed in nbc sports...

meanwhile, a bit too much pasta (and sodium in the sauces) earlier leaves me with a headache and sitting around too much all day leaves me bloated with a neck ache... probably should have headed out to meet friends who were watching this thing at a sports bar - but then, i'd have been suggesting we do something else... could have headed to a friend's to play cards too, but now the blah head and neck suggest i just relax and let sleep come early tonight... unless i put some caffeine in the body which could relieve the head and neck... hey, it's the weekend, i ate sorta healthy all week :)

hope you enjoy your night :)
