    I was watching it in 3D and I have to say London is bad ass. I love traveling there but this summer would have been crazy to be there.

    Haven't seen the whole opening ceremonies. Got home when the countries were coming out. Luckily, I recorded it and will watch tomorrow at some point.

    Can't wait for McCartney to perform! :D

    I think I'd take Matt Lauer over Ryan Seacrest. Well, maybe.

    It's interesting cause I watched some live BBC feed this afternoon that was SO much better and not nearly as stupid, plus there were no commercials.
