I thought the opening ceromony was good, but i feel like the only person in the world not bowled over by it. All i keep reading is how it was the greatest opener and how London better step up their game (I'm not sure how people know what they'd got planned to step up from mind?), but i really wasn't as wowed as i was by Sydney, or Athens. Especially not considering the money and suffering gone into it.

No, some people actually think the opening ceremony for the Olympic games in Athens was better. It's all a matter of opinion, of course.
It takes courage to watch the Beijing Olympics in its entirety. That's like 6 to 7 hours each day. I caught the Women's weightlifting yesterday and although the U.S. wasn't in it, I applauded Xiu Chen of China for winning the gold and setting a new world record. Lifting 260 pounds isn't easy on a female.
