sumi, and at the oddest times! Like when athletes from Jordan walk in?
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And not just any bagpipes but Scotland the Brave.
Yes, that was the weird part for me. I mean, piping of one sort or another has a long tradition when you want something LOUD over a big crowd of people -- but... Scotland!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did notice that they didn't change the loop of "cultural" music when the Chinese athletes came in -- it wasn't the bagpipes that I heard, but something equally not-Chinese.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, random Scotland the Brave!
Perhaps, they should do that randomly throughout the Games.

The Wall Arch in Utah's Arches national park has collapsed.
Aww! That's so sad!!
I want to go have a life, but I also want to sit on my couch and watch the Olympics nonstop for the next two weeks. Dilemma!!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Aesthetically, it's sad that the Wall Arch fell but in the whole "being able to watch geology happen," it's amazing.
Best quote in the article: "Not being a geologist, I can't get very technical but it just went kaboom"
Oh, I wants to tag it, I do...
