Olympics
I’m seriously disappointed that I cannot watch the opening ceremony live. NBC isn’t putting it on until 7:30pm tonight. I would have taken a personal day just to watch it live, but alas I’m at work. It also looks like my father in-laws satellite feed for CCTV-4 and CCTV-9 are not going to show the opening ceremony so they can’t tape the Chinese version of the show for us.
They also cannot view the show. No CCTV and no cable. So, we’re scrambling to get our VCR in order to tape the show tonight. We have two hunks of crap. One does great video and no audio. The other does great audio, but shaky video. Our third VCR is part of VCR/DVD combo, but doesn’t work with our ancient TV which does not have input for RCA cables.
I’ll probably be moving that big ass TV out of our bedroom and popping it onto the living room floor tonight so that we can simultaneously tape and watch the ceremony tonight. It’s a shame since we don’t have a TV stand that can hold it (yet) and it is the only TV that we have that can take in RCA input (it has 4 or 5 inputs!).
In the meantime I’m keep up to date with some running diaries posted by two bloggers that I frequent:
