Olympics Envy

Well you have all heard me complaining enough about not being in London for the Olympics so I will can it with the whining and just post all the pics Keith is sending me and pretend like I am there!!! (which will be an exercise in making stuff up as well since Keith is not so good with the details):

Day 1: swimming!
Day 2: water polo!
Day 3: beach volleyball!

 I'm not sure I enjoy those "art" structures in the Olympic Park. One looks like a roller coaster and the other looks like a scrapyard. But at least they've found a way to make those penis logos look cute (what a feat!):

Here's a little interview I did with Keith on his experience so far (via the low budget medium of gmail chat)
me:volleyball good? the pics are amazing!

  i'm gonig to blog them

  here's an interview for the blog:

  what's been your favourite sport so far?

 Keith: hmmm

  let me thin

 me: ok i go loo while you think

  be back in 5 mins

 Keith: the swimming probably

  ok

7:01 PM though the atmosphere and the venue of the volleyball was really cool

7:05 PM me: ah that answers the next question

  what is your favourite venue?

7:08 PM Keith: indeed it does

7:09 PM the swimming was fairly hot, but it was very sunny and and I think the temporary structure was a bit of a greenhouse

  once they opened the vents at the back it was fine

  the waterpolo was boiling though - not sure why they didnt' open the vents for that

7:10 PM apparently the waterpolo is copmletely temporary

7:11 PM which is pretty insane as it has a 25m pool in it

7:12 PM me: so your fav is the beach volleyball venue?

  did it rain today?

 Keith: yeah, the backdrop was awesome

  nope

  at least not when we were there

  it as mostly very sunny

7:13 PM me: nice!

 wow, so the most detail Keith has given me so far on his Olympic experience is about ventiliation of venues.

And a complaint about the Canadian Olympic coverage (cuz what would a post from me be without a complaint or two? or five?) I really wish CTV's Brian Williams would stop saying "here in downtown London" whenever they do their pan of Westminster. There is no such thing as downtown London.
