A Few Pictures From Beijing

SO! I had some celeb sightings last night! But only a few people will actually CARE who I saw. lol First, I saw Ang Lee. We stood next to him in the consessions line for the longest 45 minutes of my life. He was very quiet, very nice. Only one person approached him the whole time. I'm kind of pissed I didn't ask for a picture. For those who don't know - he directed Brokeback Mountain, the fist Hulk movie (with eric Bana), and The Ice Storm. Also, we were sitting about 10 rows up from media mogul, Rupert Murdoch. And everywhere we keep seeing 38 year old co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and NBC Universal Television Studio, Ben Silverman. He's like, a party animal. And kind of cute.

So that's it for the "celebs." But I did want to share a few pics!

Im watching now, they keep talking about how hot it is in there. They showed the President and Mrs Bush and look like they are falling asleep. How rude.
I love the pics, keep them coming!

Those opening ceremonies were amazing. The torch lighting was too cool! I still can't believe you are there Nikki. I can't wait for more reports 'from the field'.

Ang Lee! That's an epic sighting. He got a hard time for the first Hulk movie, but really it wasn't that bad. Plus it had Nick Nolte. How can you go wrong with the movie that spawned the infamous Nolte DUI photo?
