Caught up on some of the Olympics -- still have a few more hours to go, but wanted to jot down some thoughts ... So here goes:

( Women's marathon )

( Swimming - Phelps final race )

Just watched Psych and the Host Nation's welcome of the Opening Ceremonies. Not to compare the two, but excellent on both counts. This may, easily, be my favorite Psych episode ever. Just wonderfully done. ( Slight spoilers behind the cut (of tonight and this season's eps so far. )

As for the Opening Ceremonies production from China. Wow! Just beautiful and amazing. I cried, I clapped, I was filled with wonder and joy. Beautiful, beautiful job.

ETA: I hadn't watched the lighting of the Olympic Torch when I wrote this earlier. I just finished doing so, and my praise above is nothing compared to the majestic and literally awe-inspiring beauty that China managed with that torch lighting. I was literally crying, shaking with tears of joy and awe. Just utterly transcendent. WOW!
