Olympic Opening Ceremony

I thought the opening ceremony was tremendous.
The drummers were so very cool.
The ink dancers, cool, too.
My favorite bit was the wood block section. Such a cool reveal at the end.

Sarah Brightman? Bleh! Can't stand her. She's as vacant as the men's restroom at Lilith Fair.

Parade of nations was cool. I stopped watching after American Samoa. Tired. Going to bed soon.

Curious about the American outfits. Not a lot of red showing. Was it an anti-China statement or just a contrast to the overwhelming amount of red present anyway? Only Ralph Lauren knows for sure...

ETA: Those Chinese cheerleader girls that were dancing throughout the parade of nations! Poor things! Hours and hours of dancing... I think a few of them were still dancing in their sleep whenever they got to bed...
