So...who's obsessed besides me?

I missed most of the opening ceremonies, I only caught the parade & the torch lighting stuff. Honestly...I thought the torch was boring this year.

The NBC commentators are driving me up the wall. My cat could do a better job.

I hate it!

The coverage is bullsh*t. I hate all this time delay'ness. Granted its taking place in a whole 'nother time frame, but I'd rather see things going on live @ 3am than delayed 12+ hours or whatever. Its nuts.

I just hate watching something when you know who won already, it takes a lot of the fun out of it!

Blarg. Oh well, and the comercials! AHH so many of them.. i feel like im watching the comercial coverage with some olympics spliced inbetween for filler. Grumble.

haha, sucks to be you!

Here's we're only an hour off, so we see everything live. Yesterday I watched a bunch of fencing (I wish I could fence), and some swimming. I also caught a bit of a couple sports I have no interest in whatsoever... men's volleyball (both court and beach), and judo (blah). Oh, and some guy showing off his horse which is really boring (sorry to all you crazy horse lovers on this board, I don't mind watching the horses jump over the obstacles, but watching some guy just walk his horse around in a square is really not my idea of a good time).

ah well thats kind of nice i guess. I personally dont watch any of the games, they all seem.. boring these days I guess. I dunno.

But it does suck to know the outcome to the matches ahead of time.. though I do like spoiling things for my family. Its like I have precognition.. or just the ability to be a ripe bastard. I think the latter..
