I'm watching the Olympic opening ceremony live right now. It has been pretty excruciating so far. OTOH, the Queen and James Bond just jumped out of a helicopter together, and you don't see that every day. Thank goodness.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Now some children are singing and signing the National Anthem, but for some inexplicable reason they are all wearing pyjamas. No idea why. Perhaps it's past their bedtime.

Oh! It's J.K. Rowling! Now might be the bit where Mary Poppins gets to defeat Voldemort !
I was thinking of going to bed but I have to stay up for this.
It's not just one MP, it's lots. And it was all over pretty quickly .

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I guess it's stupid to be irritated that I'm going to get spoiled for the opening ceremony by Twitter. Or every news website.

I don't think it's raining, the weather has been very unbritish (i.e. sunny) for the past week or so.

Oh! Genuinely funny surprise appearance which I will not spoil. The LSO seem to have a new synth player .

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Fay is liveblogging it on her FB, so anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled, try avoiding FB.
(I don't care, so I'm cracking up at both the actual content of the opening ceremonies and Fay's inimitable reaction to them.)

I think this is a public photo on Facebook -- a local cat rescue group is doing a "15 Shades of Gray" event where, if you adopt a gray kitty, you get a t-shirt that says "I'm into S&N" (spay and neuter). [link]
Funniest part of the whole thing (for me)? It was posted on my FB friendslist by a nun.
t edit Man, they should just sell those t-shirts to raise money. They would make a fortune.
