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

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

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.

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

Nope.
Jeremy Renner and Betty White are on Leno tonight. That should be fun. I never watch Leno, but I'll tape it for them.

Just found out Charlottesville is getting a Trader Joe's and an IMAX theater! Yes, if I read a newspaper or watched news I'd have known it sooner.

It seems to me that "according to legend, Glastonbury Tor is the island of Avalon, the last resting place of King Arthur" is a more interesting factoid than "a tor is a rock outcropping or hill."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think my cable, which is supposed to cut out tomorrow, just stopped dead in the middle of the Opening Ceremony.
