Yay!!!!!!!!! Despite what the media portrays, I think it would be idiotic to hold the games here in NYC (even though I hope to be long gone from here by 2012 ).

It would have been nice to see the Olympics back onto American soil, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that NYC 2012 probably wasn't the best idea.

Between MSNBC coverage and LJDrama.org, I am up LATE this evening.

Paris and London are the last ones standing now that Madrid's been eliminated.

I'm crossing my fingers for Paris!

I hope to be able to go to London for the Olympics. By that time, we should be able to do it. I'm excited.

I also think that since the 2010 Olympics are in Canada, maybe they don't want to have the Olympics in North America again, just 2 years later?

Though I'm happy it's London and not Pairs, NYC2012 was one of our big clients and with this we lose them and a lot of money.
