I'm busy watching the war that just broke out in Russia and Georgia not to mention the awesome protests and stuff going on in china outside Olympic village and trash

I watched the opening ceremony. Man was it beautiful! I loved it. And we have the most athletes playing and Russia(I think) came in second for how many athletes they had. USA had 647 and Russia had about 4 hundred and something.

Does anyone know of an internet site with live coverage? My TV broke, and the only websites I've found just show clips of whatever they feel like.

I'm angry at the olympics... We have too many damn tourists around. Track and field tryouts are being held downtown...

I'm kind of addicted to sporting events, so yeah, I'll watch. It will be particularly interesting to see what kind of Darfur/environment/Tibet/free speech/torture protesting goes down... and I do hope that stuff is not ignored by the media.
