Opening Ceremonies: Harmony


Joe and I are trying to watch the opening ceremonies from the Olympics that we Tivoed last night. I say, "trying," because Jacks is very disgruntled that the TV isn't on Blue's Clues. If he would just pay a little bit of attention to the screen, he might realize how awesome these ceremonies are. This is so freaking cool that there are truly no words. The director of the ceremonies is apparently China's premier movie director, and he was given an unlimited budget for this event. And this is the coolest freakin' thing we have ever seen. Joe and I are both sitting here slack jawed in total shock at how amazing this is. I cannot believe the precision with which these 15,000 performers are carrying out this choreography. If you missed it, we will be keeping this in Tivo indefinitely, or you need to find it on You tube - because this is just about the coolest thing we've ever seen! If I was there, I would be sobbing tears of awe and fascination. I am on the verge of tears right now! Amazing.

Update: We're in love with Lang Lang and want to learn Tai Chi!!

We watched them last night and could not believe how cool they were!! By far, the best opening ceremonies I've ever seen!!! We liked all those boxes that were being lifted and moved by the little men inside :)

I hate that we missed them, and even worse it's not on our DVR :( I keep hearing how awesome it was, maybe if I have four extra hours in my life, I will watch it on UTube. Have a great day!
