The Olympic Games are starting up in just a few days here, but I don't much care. Those who know me know that I don't take any real interest in any sport. That also goes for the ones we only seem to pay attention to every four years rather than annually for months at a time.

And yet...

I've got HD television now in my new place. And I didn't really get to enjoy it too much back in May before nearly all the shows I watched that would look good in HD went off for the summer.

See, I think that sports broadcasts look pretty freakin' amazing in HD, from the couple seconds here and there I've seen of them. I think this is actually a fairly objective fact, regardless of one's opinion of the sport. There's a reason stores use them (and Blu-ray movies) to demo high-def to potential customers.

So now I'm kinda wondering, is there some event somewhere in the midst of all the stuff at the Olympics that I could somehow muster an interest in? Because it'll look fantastic in HD, I'm sure.

I have a friend who is freakishly manic about equestrian events. Maybe I should just have her over to watch that stuff here and hope that some of the enthusiasm wears off?

Or maybe I should just hang in there until the good stuff comes back. Only a bit more than a month now...
