Closing Ceremonies
Pretty cool, but a bit of a letdown after the opening. The London bus thing was kind of lame.
I was looking forward to seeing Page, but that was a shocker to see how old he is. As if I need another reminder of my mortality. And the audio for the broadcast was awful. Anyone else notice that?

As an aside, can Beckham talk? I don't believe I've ever seen/heard him speak. He's always just sort of there smiling stupidly.

Anyone notice how awkward the mayor of London looked? He got up on the stage and couldn't make up his mind where to put his hands.

I noticed that too; I chuckled out loud a little, b/c he looked like Chris Farley standing next to a set of starched shirts.

London. Gloomy olympics with the specter of terrorist attacks throughout.
