Opening Ceremony

We are currently watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics - patiently watching the 205 different countries match in. The Chinese are doing a great job. The "artistic portion" has been exceptional, except for Sarah Brightman's singing which was so high pitched all the dogs in the neighborhood started howling. The enacting of various important event in Chinese history was impressive although I noticed that the "massacre in Tiananmen Square" and "Invasion of Tibet" segments were sadly missing, probably edited out due to lack of time.

Blacklarryo summed it up nicely in a text reply to my SMS asking what he thought of it all:

"The olympics takes 9.7 seconds"
