In case you missed the opening ceremony, here are the highlights:
--> Giant glowing totem people
--> Azerbaijan's pants. Just. Whe I find a picture I'll post it, because those were some fierce pants. How fierce were those pants? When they came on screen, the entire campus center burst into applause.
EDITED FOR PANTS--> RIP
Nodar Kumaritashvili ;_;
--> CAN I GET SOME MORE WOOT FOR
MARJAN KALHOR PLEASE!!!
--> That
P&G commercial was just <3
Some good quips from the commentators include:
"Respresenting the Canadian attitude: assertive and ambitious..."
"Have we mentioned the Aboriginal dancers have been dancing continuously the entire time?"
Also, I might be writing 23rd century Olympics fic right now. IT MAKES ME ALL TEARY AND SENTIMENTAL AND HUMANITY-LOVING AND SHIT, OKAY!?!?! DON'T JUDGE!
