How was Nelly Furtado able to move in that outfit?

[scrollgirl]

Very, very carefully. Hee!

Dude, their intro song was pretty awful. Sarah McLachlan and Ashley MacIsaac made up for it though.

[ponygirl2000]

Is Joni there? Even if it's a tape she should come out and wave.

[scrollgirl]

I don't think she was there, otherwise she would have come out, right?

KD Lang is singing one of my favorite songs, Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." I just added it to my soundtrack faves ... The ceremonies were quite lovely. Good job, Canada and Vancouver!

[scrollgirl]

She's gorgeous. So damn powerful. Yes, I need to get the song too.

[ponygirl2000]

And kd was definitely NOT lip-synching!

[scrollgirl]

Nope, not lip-synching at all. She was AWESOME. So kick-ass.

You know, I've forgotten how much I love the Winter Olympics. It's so much more fun than the Summer ones.

(Heh, Gretzky has people running after him as he's driven to the external Torch. These guys are crazy!)

GIGANTIC SPIRIT BEAR. GIGANTIC SPIRIT BEAR.

This is the part that made me go out and join my housemate (who'd been watching the whole thing) in the living room :)

Though I got out there near the end of the trees, so I missed the "WHALES. HOLY FREAKIN WHALES."

[scrollgirl]

THE WHALES WERE SO AWESOME. Utterly magical. The whole show was terrific except for Nelly and Brian Adams (sorry to say).

Ditto, you!

Excellent roundup!

[scrollgirl]

Thanks! Wave that flag, Ann!

I'm very proud tonight.

[midnightsjane]

Me too! I think I'm just going to link over here, Scroll, 'cause you've said everything I was thinking!
