the sound seems to be better now. This could be addictive - I've peeked in now and then all day. The guy up there now is doing the Times crossword and drinking champagne. He just took a phone call and is describing what he's doing/seeing . . . .

I'm watching from work from time to time with the volume off, and so far I like Patrick who sat in quiet contemplation from 0200 until 0300. The blonde with the sparklers and blowing bubbles up there now is cute.

Stokebailey: did you see what happened w/ her lantern? She put a large lantern-shaped balloon together w/ (I missed the heat source but it looked like a candle or flame of some sort) and the sucker took off! First down onto the netting and then up into the air -- soaring over the National Gallery Sainsbury Wing and off into the night. The cameras followed it several minutes until it was out of sight. Amazing view of this glowing lantern flying through the air.

I think it was like a mini hot air balloon, and she was trying to get it to take off when she threw it into the netting. Next thing I knew it was soaring. She tried to launch another one there at the end, and they told her she wouldn't have time for it. That was nice, wasn't it? The woman now makes me appreciate the bubbles woman more.

well, maybe as interesting as the guy this afternoon who just sat there drinking beer. Never moved that I saw.
There was a cute elderly guy a couple of days ago -- not cute physically. Just sort of cuddly. He was a poet and said he'd never done anything this daring before and was afraid of heights to boot. He sat on the edge w/ his legs hanging down chatting w/ anyone below who would talk to him and reciting some of his poetry.
He just seemed totally chuffed and so pleased w/ himself.

"<i>What a minute. What's this new guy doing? He looks like he's wet his pants.</i>
he's being a "Robinson Crusoe" stranded on the plinth so he started out laying down prone like he'd been washed up on shore. Of course that was on a surface that had been rained on off/on over night so he is now soaking wet and has to stay that way for the next hour

I was wondering why he lying flat on his face like that. I thought he was going to start doing downward dogs.
(I have a day off tomorrow and I've got a bad feeling I'm going to end up sitting in bed all night with my laptop watching this...)
