I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough...OLYMPICS!!!

If you follow my blog, and haven't seen anything new lately, there is a reason...The past two and a half weeks have been super busy taking images, now I'm working on processing them all. Keep your eyes out for new images, they're a coming soon! 

In the past few evenings, I have to admit that I am addicted to the Summer Olympics in Beijing.  I love hearing the Olympic song, once I hear it I'm glued. And there is so much coverage to watch, who has that kind of time? I heard that they're covering 3x's more than they did in 2004. NBC has 80 high def cameras on the games, and is taping some 3,600 hours of the games! 

Did anyone actually know that synchro diving was a sport? That was totally new to me, I'm floored! Apparently it's first Olympic appearance was in Sydney in 200. At first, the dives look pretty basic, but then I realized to do them in synchronization with another human being has to be incredibly difficult. 

I'm a big fan of Time's online images. Check out the opening ceremony images, they're beautiful! Another place to check out some awesome pics is Sports Illustrated. I can't believe I'm recommending a sport site, I'm normally not a sports person at all. The Olympics brings out the sports fan in me.

The Next Food Network Star: Finale Tonight (10pm)

First of all, I don't cook. I like to bake because it's an exact science, there is no guess work involved. It is similar to photography, I see something, I know how I want it to come across in the picture, and I set the camera to capture the vision. 

I do like to watch people cook though. I find it interesting to watch people do what they do best, which is why I think I'm so into watching The Next Food Network Star! The finale is on tonight, and I can't wait. I believe there is a marathon on today if you need to catch up on all the episodes.

In the last show they did not kick anyone off the show, so instead of being down to two people there are three up for the gig! The three contestants are Lisa, Adam, and Aaron. I think if I had to pick one right now, I would pick Aaron, I think I would watch his show because he's a warm, friendly person. I just hope he does well tonight! 

Sopranos: The Final Episode

There are several other things that I need to blog about, including a wedding and a couple album layouts--those deserve more time than The Sopranos final episode. I am bothered by this, and just need to get it out there.

If you didn't see the final episode and you watch Sopranos, don't read this.

The final episode was kind of boring to me, especially after last weeks show. I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting, and waiting. Looking at the clock to see how much time was left. And then...nothing. Really nothing. Bada Nada--hey it's late.

I read a tiny bit online, people are picking apart the final moments. Meadow is running, music is cut, and....I think Tony Soprano and family lives on. That's the whole thing with the Sopranos. Tony's the bad guy, but I don't want him to die. Maybe no one agrees with me, but that's my ending.
