Corgis Are People Too

I, like a billion other folks, plopped myself in front of the tube this past Friday to bear witness to the 2012 Olympic ceremonies directed by the brilliantly creative Danny Boyle.  I knew beforehand that I had to clear my mind of all images from China's Olympic opening extravagance as there was no way in hell this ceremony could be that cool, but even with my expectations lowered I was still left in a state of "uh?".  If I understood everything correctly then England was actually birthed from the depths of Mordor, the surplus of sick children means that they have to sleep two to a bed, Mary Poppins has become the latest successful cloning subject, and the newest iPhone has an app for time travel (works for me).  All kidding aside, I thought Boyle did a fine job.  It can't be easy trying to coordinate a show like that, I just would have preferred some more pizazz (insert jazz hands).  You know, a few fire throwers, maybe a giant replica of Big Ben that shoots out fireworks in the shapes of all the Harry Potter characters, McCartney performing with a John Lennon hologram....not that I've given this a lot of thought or anything.
