Thank god I have Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer to narrate it for me and explain what's going on. Otherwise I could just enjoy the spectacle.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So, Ride of the Bicycling Doves to Come Together? I never expected that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Queen may have done her lifetime quota of public professional smiling already. She's just glaring from here on in.
Gary Barlow was on Graham Norton talking about designing the concert and filming the music video, and he was so freaking adorable. And he described cribbing every detail before meeting the Queen, and she slammed him with two really practical "how do I leave" "when does this end" questions he had no clue how to answer.

I saw that! Poor Gary.
"And this will be your box, Your Majesty."
"How do I get to it?"
"You will parachute in from a helicopter, accompanied by Daniel Craig."
"Oh, well, good, then."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I think they said "copper kettles."
These are a few of our favorite things.

My sister would be really disappointed in me, but I'm a pretty knee-jerk Commonwealth citizen. In reality, I haven't lived in the Commonwealth for years, so it's really easy to say I'm good with it, but I would think it kinda weird if Jamaica weren't part of it anymore. But practical considerations don't affect me at all.
Hey--you guys are hypersensitive to your flag, right? Every time a camera pans past the UN row of flags yours leaps out at you as the most obvious one, right?
Jesus, the topiary man is fucking horrifying. Thanks for ruining my shot at sleeping well tonight, Dow.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aaargh, no Olympics for me. I just got home (yay) and my Directv is off vacation (ok) but my local channels are not (boo) and my friendly and helpful tech could not fix it, so we're down to $50 service call (super boo). I was way close to cancelling, I don't really see me paying fifty bucks, or a monthly service plan, to get something working that just was! Harumph.

The copper petals were gorgeous! Fire flower.
