Okay, I loved the bears and whales (you'll see when you get there, GD)

Actually, I'm at the tree ballet right now, and really liking it.

I like the tribute to the French-Scott-Ukrainian region

Azerbaijan wins for best pants but the tap dancers win the "I wish I could join them and upset the pets" award.

I know I did. But that's mostly because we ignored completely the opening of the Olympics and went to see Crazy Heart.

I'm very impressed with the use of projection. The whale segment was astounding and convincing. And it gives me hope that someday soon, after 40 years, some cranky old groundskeeper will have the technology to make reality Hanna-Barbera's vision of using projections to convincingly pretend to haunt a ski lodge for monetary gain.

You know, when I've said that I wanted to grow JUST a neck beard...I've been joking.

They totally missed out by not having Ashley McIsaac in that segment!

We were watching Gretzky stand there with a WTF look on his face, and I said to Bill "I think they're having technical difficulties". Less than a second later, one of the NBC guys announced it. I totally called it!

ETA: Two uses of the word "totally" in one post is one too many. I'm going to bed.
