I've been looking forward to this event for many years now. In just one more week, it will all be here!

Who's looking forward to the Olympics? Anyone already been in on the fun?

My dream for half a decade or so was to move to Vancouver just in time for the Olympics D: I can't help but feel disappointed that dream never came to fruition. I would still love to move there one day.

Soo, I've bought some Olympics merchandise including a Sumi plushie :D It is awesome. I got it practically as soon as it came to the stores back in 2008.

I will be watching. I'm keeping my eye on the snowboarding halfpipe. That looks like it's going to be intense this year.

The Olympics start tonight at 9 EST / 6 PST. I'm hearing that Terry Fox's mother will be handing the torch off to a hologram of Terry Fox who will then light the cauldron.

Well, that certainly isn't something that was expected.

I feel bad for the team and the family of the sport participant.

Hard to imagine working so hard to get to the Olympics, and then dying the very day they began.

Is it morbid of me to say it's a good thing he died doing what he enjoys?

I mean, I don't know if the guy felt any pain or if it was an instant kill...the news source I read didn't have any release on it.

At the same time, it's a bit ironic.
Either way, it's really sad.

My sympathies to the family and team mates.
