Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.
Aww, that's marvellous.

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.

Because books.
What's up, Barb?
Also, do they make the ladies or men do compulsories anymore?

Nope. Got rid of that around 2000 or so. I think 2002 was the first Olympics without them, but it might have been 1998.

OK, wikipedia says compulsaries were eliminated from competition in 1990. I could swear I remembered them lasting longer than that.

They had a "piece" about it and how current figure skating is not as technical without the school figures.
I remember tracing figures long, long ago. Tedious, but I did learn a lot from it.
