So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The BBC opening for the Olympics had Cumberbatch.

This is really all I care about at the moment.

Obviously too young for Jim McKay.

She's about my age, and I'm not too young for Jim McKay. However, I will state for the record that it is possible to find the late Jim McKay annoying. Because fuck, I did at times.

Many times.

And basically, as horse racing was my sport until our political divorce a decade ago or so, I was exposed to a LOT of McKay.

I mean, I was sad he was dead, but mostly because it was one of the nails in the coffin of an era.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, Rowan Atkinson. I get it.

I did a survey of the lurkers in email, and Great Britain is funnier per capita than most English speaking countries.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Did he get choked up when he started "Hey, Jude"? I could have sworn he was crying.

Maybe. I muted it. Can't listen to that song.

Cumberbatch's accent sounds a bit...open for RP. Does that make sense?

Maybe the Queen has just reached a point of age and length of rule where she doesn't feel like she has to smile if she doesn't want to.

Danny Boyle said the Queen was very gracious, very sharp, good sense of humor, and a good actress.

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

there's a fencing commercial!

Ha! I saw! The entire fencing club was out drinking and getting loud for random moments that the rest of the bar wasn't especially yelling for. The Vietnamese flag bearer got more love than he probabably did in any bar in North Carolina, just for being a fencer.

(Mariel is a former teammate of my coach, do we were all over both the ad and her being the US bearer)

Did either annoying commentator seem to have the least clue about the significance of Glastonbury Tor? All I heard was Matt Lauer reading the dictionary definition of "tor."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha, I love that closeup one. She's actually totally gorgeous, really. I want her skin when I'm her age.
