I did too. It just was so not news.

I've signed up for a tai chi class in January. Should I watch Avatar (I'm assuming Airbender, not Pandora) first?
Wouldn't hurt (and you assume correctly). Hooray tai chi!

I think I just successfully bluffed my way through a presentation. My last meeting of the day was cancelled... by me. All I really want now is a nap.

Although I am sort of glad that maybe enough people have "come out" that it will cease being news? And thus requiring an actual "coming out". I did google a bit, and realized I also thought Scott Hamilton came out, and he is not gay.

Fear of escalators is not an irrational fear! That are death machines! Also I'm pretty sure there's a monster that lives down in the green lights area. I watched a documentary about escalators getting built and they didn't show the installation of the monster but I'm still pretty sure.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I kept thinking it was weird when they reported on the two gay women in the Sochi delegation...and Brian Boitano is also there. I assume this is why he did come out?

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
Boitano said for years that it was nobody's business and had nothing to do with skating. Now that it DOES have something to do with skating... Go Brian :)
Scott Hamilton, otoh, according to dish I have heard, was pretty much out (though unstated), found Jesus, crawled back in, and got married.
It's a big deal in the world of male figure skating and not in a very good way. It's political and ugly and sad.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've never had this happen before. So I'm designing this show; spent 10 hours on Mon hanging and focusing; spent the last two days in tech (all outside of the day job) and a couple of hours ago I got a call telling me that the show is cancelled. I have to go strike everything today.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
As far as I can recall, the only two other big-name skaters who are publicly out are Rudy Galindo and Johnny Weir.

Wow, aurelia. Will you get paid? What happened?
Escalators are death machines. I hateses them. When I worked at JC Penney some children were horsing around and got a finger stuck, and it was a bloodbath. Also an employee got her skirt stuck, and that was a scary couple of seconds, but she ripped her skirt out.
