I'm really enjoying the phrase "alpine skills."
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Oh, dear, this skater got his costume from the same place Johnny Weir did.
Ouch, bad fall!

Consuela, we're just sharing costume thoughts, now.
I am freaking freezing. The house is currently fifty eight degrees. I am wearing fleece and pants and a blanket, but I think I need to put gloves on really soon. And more socks. And my jacket. I'm shivering.

It's very cold tonight. Stupid cold. If I wanted to live in places that have cold, I would have stayed in Michigan.

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
Poor Lysacek. I wish I'd seen his free skate. I really liked his short program.
THey'll show it again in the late program -- I just watched it for the second time.

Thanks, everyone, for the good wishes. I'm taking them with me as I head out the door, and I'm keeping them with me the whole time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Oh my goodness. What is wrong with you?? How can you not consider a gymnastics floor routine a sport??????
There is nothing wrong with me, missy. Mens gymnastics doesn't use music for their floor routines, and are judged on form alone, which is the way it ought to be. Why do the women, and only the women, have to be judged on artistic merit? What a stupid concept.

Evan Lysack blew me away. Can you imagine if he hadn't frelled his short program?
Exactly. Even so, he ended up finishing quite well. I thought his long program was one of the best I saw. Matt Savoie's was excellent as well, but I was distracted by the costume (I found the color very off-putting).
Snowboard cross blew me away. Damn, that was amazing to watch. I love that the Olympics can have stuff that is as beautiful as ice skating and as flat out insane as the snowboard cross.
