Closing Ceremonies
The Dude and I watched the Closing Ceremonies last night (after we watched Singin' in the Rain). I get so emotional at Olympic broadcasts. Why? I don't know. These people worked so hard to get there and have huge staffs who also work hard to get them there, and boom! all of a sudden it's over.
Did you notice Sasha Cohen's answer to the Intrusive Reporter on the Stadium Floor? Her words and voice were all cheery and Accepting of Fate, but I don't believe her. I've done that too often to believe the general cheer of her answer. In her head she's replaying her falls during the long program and crying because she lost the gold. Yes, she earned the silver, which is much more than I ever will, but her game is a mental game and she lost the gold in her head. It stinks, and she'll cry in private and hopefully get better.
And I'm excited about the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics...and about the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Did you see the Canadian team's 'vancouver 2010' scarves? Does the year '2010' seem strange to anybody but me? Doesn't it seem weird that just a little while ago we were all terrified of Y2K and all of the world's technology screeching to a halt, and people actually sold everything and moved to self-sustaining ranches and farms way out in the middle of nowhere, and now we are looking down the road directly at 2010, a brand new decade? Man, I sound old.
Here are tickers that signify my excitement:
