Watched the Olympics closing ceremonies. They were very pretty, though thankfully not as ridiculously long as opening ceremonies. I don't have many thoughts, other than the Led Zeppelin song was lackluster--my mom and I agreed that they should have used Stairway to Heaven.

For London 2012, I think David Tennant should get to be a torch bearer. Maybe not the final one, but at least one of them. That would be entirely awesome.

Finished another fic. This one's 9000 words, and is actually conducive to being split up (in a way that Rounded with a Sleep wasn't, though it's longer), so now I have my first DW chaptered fic. It's also...sorta cracky. And a JE fix-it fic. And I poke fun at David Tennant's fashion sense. XD It's also with my beta, so it should be posted soonish.

In less than a week I'm leaving for Tacoma. I have to clean up my room. My room is a mess. This is going to be fun. :p

I agree Stairway to Heaven probably would have been far more entertaining, but I think the choice of song had more to do with London promising 'a whole lotta love' in 2012. Other than that, I thought the handover was done quite well - cheesy, but not as bad as I was expecting.

If David Tennant doesn't bear the torch somewhere along the way, something is wrong :D

If that's what they were intending, I'm not sure how well it came across--that wasn't the first thing that occurred to me. Still, it does make sense. :)

He has to! And he's popular enough that they'd probably let him. :D

It certainly wasn't clear - I only got that impression because that's what the BBC commentators were saying!

Heh, the BBC would probably know! NBC wasn't saying anything of the sort (though half the time I couldn't even hear what they were saying over everything else that was going on...). :p
