On this day, 08 August ‘08, at 08:08:08 pm, the 2008 Summer Olympics will be officiated. Boycotts and protests particularly over human rights violation and Tibetan independence have marred the preparation for this 29th edition of the Olympic – just as they had occurred at past Olympic Games. And as if those are not enough, China has been beset with environmental concerns – natural catastrophes and environmental issues.
But the show must go on and so it will.
Good luck to the host city and all athletes! 
Isn’t this Google logo (or whatever you call it) of the five Fuwa mascots carrying the Olympic flag simply cute?
P.S.: Happy birthday to Odie who celebrates his birthday today!
Arsenal came back from behind to beat Huddersfield in two late goals (how typical of Arsenal, even for the young Gunners!). Three goals in the last 15 minutes (including the opening from the host). Not bad at all (and Nacer Barazite is pretty cute too)!
