London 2012
I can't stop watching the Olympics!
I've been fairly skeptical about London hosting for the whole 7 years of build up - it's meant for other people, it's ridiculously expensive, it would mess up the summer, wtf is that weird red tower thing all about, why does that football club want to destroy the Olympic stadium before it's even been used, that logo is hideous, those mascots are bizarre, the ticketing system is too convoluted, we'll never beat Beijing's opening ceremony...
Oh wait.
Oh yeah bitches, our Opening Ceremony was freaking awesome. Like, so so good. It made me insanely happy, grinning my face off and shrieking with delight and gasping in amazement and tearing up at the beauty of the cauldron. Utterly perfect.
And now it is day 3, and seriously, apart from like chores, the only thing I've done the last two days is watch the Olympics. So many sports. Plenty of sports I don't understand the rules of. I think I've just about figured out the basics of Judo and Water Polo; the precise aims of Dressage still elude me but it's so lovely to watch - smartly dressed people on gorgeous dancing horses! Amazing. And I have watched tonnes and tonnes of gymnastics, my absolute fav. Yay gymnastics!!
Go Team GB!
