Topic: Summer Olympics, funny
*I should have posted something on 08/08/2008 because that is one lucky day for the Chinese. Apparently tons of people, especially Chinese people, got married that day ... good for them!
*Did anyone watch the opening ceremony for the summer olympics on Friday? It was very impressive and entertaining. From Wikipedia: The ceremony was co-directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou and Zhang Jigang. It was noted for its focus on ancient Chinese culture, and for its creativity. The musical score for the ceremony was arranged by composer Tan Dun. The final ascent to the torch featured Olympic gymnast Li Ning, who appeared to run through air around the top ring of the stadium. Featuring more than 15,000 performers, the ceremony lasted over four hours and was reported to have cost over $300 million to produce. The opening ceremony was lauded by spectators and various international presses as spectacular and spellbinding.
*Nothing much to report on my end. I have just been watching movies and the Olympics games recently. Here are some funny videos to entertain you:

The opening ceremony was great, though I didn't like NBC's "China expert." Um, he wasn't Chinese!
The opening ceremony was incredible. I guess it came out that the little pretty asian girl who sang that song was lip syncing while another girl who was considered not "pretty" enough sang the actual song. But regardless of that, the amount of skill and talent seen on the stage was incredible. People should appreciate the talent of the citizens and not focus on the role of the government and politics.
As for that Triumph video... beyond hilarious!
Yea all these stories are coming out about the Chinese and how the footprint fireworkers were fake and the gymnastics team is under 16. Why all this hate against the yellow man?? Ha Ha.
I can watch that Triumph video over and over and over.
The Triumph video makes me never want to go to Comic-Con. I had no idea it was so nuts.
