Bollywood show, Olympics

We went to a Bollywood show this past weekend in Atlantic City. I've been to Indian shows in the past, and I'll say I was pleasantly surprised that the audience actually behaved themselves for the most part.

The whole coordination with everyone was kind of ridiculous though. We met my sister there about 2-3 hours before the show started and met the other family at the venue like 5 minutes before it started -- it's a good thing the show started late - otherwise we would've been pissed since we had their tickets and had to go outside to get them.

The show itself was actually pretty good. 4 of the biggest names in Bollywood sang and danced to their most famous songs. They also mixed it up with Amitabh Bachchan delivering some dialogue from his movies. I'll admit that the whole Bachchan adoration was completely lost on me (and there was a LOT of it during the show), but I guess I didn't grow up watching his movies. I'm assuming he's something like Elvis or the Beatles here.

Wow, the US women's gymnastics team really screwed that up. That Alicia chick will forever be known as the one who lost it for her team. One fall is acceptable, but another one on the floor exercise? You're in the fucking Olympics! Get it together!

Too bad she's not even competing for an individual all-around so she has no chance to redeem herself. I'm sure she's won all sorts of medals in previous competitions, but for millions of people who only watch the Olympics, she'll be the reminder of why we won silver instead of gold. Apparently, Nastia Liukin goes to the same gym as Carly Patterson (the Gold winner of the all-around in Athens). Either her or Shawn Johnson (who has a really nice ass by the way) better win the all-around gold tomorrow.

Phelps is ridiculous. Is there seriously no one else in the world who can compete with him? I also don't get how there's so many different events within swimming that an individual can enter. Do all individual sports have that many? It doesn't seem like it, which makes the whole "most Olympic gold medals" incredibly unfair. Kobe's pretty good too, but he can only get one medal per Olympics...
