This is where I started watching them from. My roommate didn't tell me the opening games were on.

Mamie, that's one reason why I love the Winter Olympics so much (well, that and the fact that I just love winter sports in general). The winter athletes are less likely to have the big endorcements. A lot of them aren't even career athletes. I mean, how many bobsled teams, speed skaters (with the exception of Ono), and curlers do you see on commercials? The men's hockey teams have pro-players, but you don't have the basketball "dream team" staying at their fancy hotels because they're too good for the Olympic Village.

I told you the music was interesting. Some of the country's choices for hats too are also interesting.

CBC kept mentioning that all the athletes were getting good seats in the mosh pit for Luciano Pavarotti.

There we are. I know no athletes other than the hockey players. I'm not happy about our outfits. Especially those hats.
