I'm taking classes at a building right off of Trafalgar Square where they're having the big announcement screens all set up. My class ends right when they announce the winner, and I expect to see a lot of angry Brits when I'm fighting to get back to that subway stop.

I don't think I'd want the Olympics in my city.

The Olympics are fun as hell. Especially when you don't have to pay the ridiculous hotel costs to go.

It seems like an inconvenience, although my friend was in school in Salt Lake duirng the '02 Olympics and he didn't really notice much traffic and such. He was inconvenienced by all the construction that led up to the events but after they're over the city is left with all the new infrastructure.

Wow.

Not as big of an upset as if we were to get it, but wow nonetheless.

Where do you live? Every day I go for a walk in a park right by my house and can see Wembley from the top of it - agree that it is looking great.
