The Olympics [a smidge]

I remembered the lyrics to the Jamaican National Anthem! And sang them along with Usain Bolt's medal ceremony. Bwee.

I have not gotten to see nearly as much as I would have liked of this year's Olympics, but I'm glad they are happening. I always love the Olympics. These are just plain the sort of sport I actually enjoy watching.

Does anyone remember ABC's Wide World of SPorts? "The thrill of victory.... and the agony of defeat." *cue skier rolling ass=over-teakettle down a snowy hill* I wish that were still on, a weekly dose of track/swimming/gymnastics/etc. But I'm glad the Olympics are on right now, even if I haven't seen much of them. Yet.

Oh, that's lovely. :)

Sam was interested in fencing, so we went to NBC's Olympic site and they were able to watch with no problem, didn't have to make an account or tell it how you get tv, etc. I think they have everything.

Oh yes. That's how I knew the cartoons were over. *grin*

Love you.

I had to confirm that I was a Uverse subscriber to watch the Opening Ceremonies, but it was a one-time-only thing; after I did, it said that henceforth any time I opened the site from my home IP address it would recognize me automagically. Perhaps you did that during the London games?

No, that was a completely different computer. :)
