Well, the olympics are basically over. The final listings can be found here and probably quite a few other places.

The Canadian organization was predicting 25 medals, so 24 is quite impressive considering how many close 4th places we had, too. Also, I think the most medals Canada ever got before was 18.

One thing that my dad noted that I found amusing was that, despite how well the country did this year, the one thing that will be remembered is how badly the men's hockey team screwed up.

I watched Munich this afternoon. Here is what I had to say about it at Cinema Blend:

I watched this movie this afternoon/evening. Ok, I admit that there were some memorable and especially well done scenes, however, a bit of a let down overall. It builds up a lot of excitement to little payoff. I think it had a great story to tell, but it could've been done much better, in my opinion, from what I expect from Spielberg. For one thing, I did enjoy Bana's, as well as some of the other actors, performances. At least it was much better than what I expected way back when he said he wanted to do a film about the Olympics (Note that I am too young to have known at the time that there was anything important about the 1972 olympics. Sure, I had heard about the terrorist attacks before, but I was not aware of which year or locale it had happened.)

I tend to agree with the majority of the people in this thread. While I didn't love the movie, it was enjoyable and some of the scenes (specically when they were taking out hits) were very impressive and memorable.

I then started to watch Walk the Line, but my mother just came home from a matinee showing of Grease and grocery shopping with two rented movies. She got Just Like Heaven, which I have no interest in watching, and The Constant Gardener, which was on my list of movies to watch before the Oscars. I will most likely start watching it soon.

My dad's birthday is tommorrow. I ended up getting him some gift certificates from Tim Hortons last night as well as a 4-pack of aero bars at work today.

Anyways, I have to work to work at 6am, so I won't spend any more time blogging tonight.
