After all the live shots today, it seems like the whole crew has been in full-on editing mode. I've had my big "old school" headphones on for so long that I kinda feel a little naked without them.

Where was I? Oh yeah. Working hard. I was at my little editing unit for hours, cutting together all kinds of Torino goodness, and then - all of a sudden- my "spidey sense" started going off. Something wasn't right. It's that feeling you get when you sense that the environment around you has changed, and you sorta magically realize it.

I looked up an people everywhere were gathering around the large projection screens in the workspace. I glanced around the room and noticed a few other people at their desks that saw that was something was going on. It was like one of those scenes from disaster movies like Independece Day when people are all watching the news coverage of aliens blowing up the world, and some guy comes over and is all, "Hey, what's everyone up to?" And then the supporting character (who later falls victim to the aliens/earthquake/whatever) says, "What? Haven't you been watching?! It's all over the news..."

What was it on all the televisions?



The Olympics!

I jumped up from editing (but only for a moment), and snapped a shot of people gathering around and watching the show. It's a weird feeling to be here covering the events, but not really going into the actual Olympic ceremonies. The show looked good, and I plan on glancing up form time to time to see if Tomba carries the torch. (as of this post, he's getting 2:1 odds here).
