Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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...
"It's skeet shooting, you idiot, not ski-- Oh, what's the use?"
Skeet, skeet! Skeet surfing! Skeet, skeet! Skeet surfing!
Also, much health-ma to JenP.
Health-ma to JenP.
Sympathies to Erin's friend and family.
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.
Weird to skim the overnight watch & post on the Olympics.
Biathlon fascinates me because it is such an opposite mix of maximum aerobic exertion -- as anyone who has cross-country skiied can tell you -- and dead calm accuracy.
There probably should be a summer-sport version where you run a 10K with stops for skeet shooting or bowling or whatever. Or maybe high-speed golf, where you have to do the 18 holes in the least amount of time, caddying your own clubs.
It's a shame they don't let me make up sports any more.
