Natter 60: Gone In 60 Seconds  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sorry, for me, at this point, anything that keeps Republicans in significant power = morally wrong to me, but that's just my opinion.

And anything that lets the Republicans keep their monopoly over what gets counted as a "moral" issue = especially loathesome.

My Edwards feelings have nothing to do with his sexual habits. But I need to not rant that rant here any more.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I mean granted, both of those are "privacy of your home issues". I just hate the double-freakin' standard (and I'm not 100% sure if it's male/female or Dem/Rep or some intricate cross-breeding of the two, and I suspect that if McCain got caught in an affair right now, it wouldn't get half the howls of protest that even Edwards has, let alone if it was Obama - that is, unless it was an affair of teh gay sort).

Opening ceremonies!

To be honest, I wasn't going to watch, but then I saw the pictures.

Dude, yes. I caught a bunch of the parade of nations stuff online this morning (which is REALLY LONG THIS YEAR), and the torch lighting (which is REALLY COOL THIS YEAR) but I missed all the cultural stuff in the photos and now I have to remember how to watch the live real-time kind of TV.

Ditto on the OMG

I mean, all those lit drums! SO FREAKING MANY PEOPLE!

This fast internet is dangerous. Tonight I downloaded GoogleEarth and have been playing with that. Plus some music, which I used to do sparingly because it was so slow.

I wanna know what the piece of music was that they used during the voice over that opened the telecast at 7:30. Very Carmina Burana/Mars in feel.

I love hearing the French announcements.

Still say the fireworks were nuts given the air quality. I read it was 92 with 62% humidity at the ceremonies.

I already hate the commentators. Always do.

Are they wearing high-top chucks with their long robe/coat things? That's so Doctor!
