    I hate basketball. It's one of the worst sports around IMO. Despite all the fairly interesting characters playing it professionally, it's more boring than a freaking volleyball game.I don't get the appeal! IMO of course. :D

    Apparently the Mexican wave is going around the stadium.

    London has loved having the Olympics. We're all sad to see it finishing.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Really, especially on a Sunday. Has NBC's coverage been that bad. You could try to see if CTV is streaming it live.

    I'm watching it on http://www.stream2watch.me

    That's where I saw the opening ceremony and it was a thousand times better than the POS NBC coverage.

    ok..seems the british wanna party,,great music..best part..
    as for the themes....
    is a little confused...all mixed..no connection between them...
    and kinda missing the english culture..
    music,colors,fashion....no story....meaning confused...
    past,just the last 50 years of music...
    just party..
    i really enjoy it..but missing the inspiration..
    i kinda expect more..great show..something missing to say..wow...+to learn something..

    music and color party..music and color party it is

    Agree, I like Fatboy Slim. But don't get the theme either. What was the modeling stuff? And why do the Who unless you have the Who? Or did I miss something?
