Olympic Fever

While we have well and truly moved on to the Paralympic Games now (Finally! Day-long sport viewing on TV again!), here are the pictures I took during the Olympics.

I got completely caught up in everything Olympic, to the extend that I even bought one of the overpriced, scary-looking mascots! (Sorry, Wenlock, you know I love to cuddle you!)

So her's everything from the torch relay, from me holding the torch when it came to my workplace, over boxing, volleyball, basketball at the Olympic Park to women's football at Wembley Satdium. Hope you enjoy. The especially blurry photos are from my phone, apologies.

What's Up?!

These are a few of the things I've been up to since I stopped updating here. I took these photos with Photosynth on my phone, and as you can see I've yet to master seamless panoramas. The good news is that I also took a lot of photos with my 'real' camera, and I'm gonna try and get those up here one of these days, too.

 The Olympics came to town, and I went to see Boxing at the ExCel...

 ... women's soccer at Wembley...

... and men's basketball at the Olympic Park.

Fine Tuning: Mastodon - A Commotion

I love this metal cover of Feist's song.
And I love how the video marries whimsy with moshing.
