Just Another Ordinary Opening Ceremony

(It's a play on "Just Another Ordinary Miracle", a song that was sung at this years XXI Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.)
It was boring. Of course Beijing's organizers blew everyone out of the water with their ceremonies, but even judged on its own, the Vancouver ceremony literally made me fall asleep. Totally unimaginative and uninteresting.

Also, where was the Vatican delegation? I want to see the Pope as head coach of the slaloming archbishops and the curling cardinals!
I kid, I kid.

Finally, I want to dedicate this blog post to Nodar Kumaritashvili, the Georgian (in Eastern Europe, not in the southern US) luger who died during training the morning of the opening ceremony. He was 21. As you read this, please join me in observing a moment of silence in honor of him.
Thank you.

Movie Review: The Organization

Two nights ago, I saw the movie "The Organization". It's basically about a detective trying to find the murderers of a man who was robbed earlier.
I slept halfway through, but from what I did see, it seemed rather boring. Cocaine is involved, but only enough to fill a backpack.
These days, tons and tons of cocaine trafficked are the norm. Hence, the movie was not very interesting and showed its age a lot.
