Clunky is an excellent word for it. Thanks, Consuela.
Heh. Thanks, Cass.

No need to hide. I liked the sparkly Canadian boy too. I liked lots of the skaters. I just couldn't stand the inane babble coming out of Scott Hamilton's mouth.
Button must drive you around the bend.
I had to pretend that anything he said was immediate sucked out of the Universe by a black hole before the sound reached my ears. Otherwise I would have died of a brain anyeurysm every time he spoke.

Ah, shame. Much prettier skater than Plushenko.

Lambiel's routine was much better.
Who chooses these costumes??? Also, I don't understand why they don't wear more white, so you're not constantly reminded that they fell, as you are when they wear black.
Johnny Weir has pretty eyelashes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Evan Lysack blew me away. Can you imagine if he hadn't frelled his short program?
I feel like Dick Button needs anti-depressants or something. He's like the bored french fed ex guy in the old dhl commercials... "the bourgoisie businessmen waiting for thier packages? let them wait!" Even when he likes something he takes the opportunity to bitch about the people who did it badly.

Johnny's costume is just... awful. Not just ugly, but it screws with the line, draws the eye up to his chest, and he ain't got nothing there to pay attention to. Also, the music is boring.

I missed Lysacek.
Johnny's costume really was that bad, but I liked his music a lot.
Jeffrey Buttle is cute, if fourteen-looking.

I think that Matt Savoie was my big find for the male skaters (although the blond Canadian was also fantastic)--I really like what he did in terms of artistic grace, and he was (as Button and Hamilton were constantly pointing out) innovative in his combinations and jump approaches.
Speaking of discoveries, I loved the Snowboard Cross!! You don't see much head-to-head racing in winter sports, and it had maneuvering as well as pure speed and cool jumps. I will definitely tune in again for the women's race.
