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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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.

Now envisioning Johnny Weir doing Men's Floor Exercise in mesh gymsuit, a glove, lots of makeup, and to the tune of the Hammer and Anvil Chorus. ... It's not a terrible image...

Seen at the Dunkin Donuts this morning: A heavy set man in his late fifties-early sixties, wearing a grey plaid CPO jacket and Scooby-Doo pajama bottoms.

Carpool running the kids to school?
My apartment was warmer than usual last night, what with it being almost 60 overnight. I dreamed Mister Kitty gave birth (!) to a litter of a ferret, two rats and a coyote-colored mouse. Too warm=weird dreams, I guess. Either that or I really should have tossed those leftoevers.

THe snowboard cross was really fun to watch. I fell asleep during the skating, though.

I am Stephanie. Though I guess I did see the best skate by catching Layseck. If only he had done better in the short. I also missed the hideous costumes...and am not googling.
