Scary, right? It's almost as if we were being, somehow, you know... tactful?
How very unlike us.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, I'm adoring this little Australian girl. Her elements aren't up to the level of some of the other skaters in terms of difficulty, but she's got lovely technique, especially on her spirals and spins. She's so striking, too- half Chinese, half African-American.

Okay, that just gave me a serious Olympic happy. Cheltzie Lee, the Australian girl just scored a 52.16, well under what the top ladies are going to get, but she's just absolutely over the moon because it was a personal best for her.
And that's considering she only found out on February 2, that she would even be attending the games, since the Israeli Skating Federation turned down an invitation for their skater, opening up a spot. So Cheltzie comes in at the last minute and gets to live the Olympic dream.
I'm all glowy and happy now.

Thrive to spite them
It was her personal best by 5 points! I think that's wonderful.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You know, its a stone miracle Ryan isn't referred to as TOW 'round these parts.
Pfft. Have you seen him? [link] His adorableness resists innuendo!

I have seen exactly ZERO of the figure skating this olympics, tough I have seen plenty of curling and a fair amount of hockey (Canada must have taken their angry out on Germany.... watch out Russia, you are next).
I saw this: [link] at Vromans and almost bought it for Barb, though.

and I would have bought it but I'm a wreck when it comes to mailing things. I have just today put my brother and SIL's xmas gift in the mail to them. I suck. (Cash, btw, the book is now boxed, not yet addressed, and allegedly going into the mail this WEEK, by god).

Aw, Kat, in this case, it's definitely the thought that counts. It's brought a smile to my face on a day when not much else could.
