Bwah! Which of us have changed? We are all the flawless scintillating conversationalists we always were, laid back and dispassionate about conflicts. Hey, it`s been a long time.
 
Anyway, here you all are talking former poster drama and over in Bitches it`s all SeriousPolitik, but I`m all HOCKEY! Through the beauty of Tivo I watched four games in seven hours tonight. I cleared my schedule to do so. I avoided other things to watch hockey, I watched late at night and I watched partially alone. It`s possible I might be overdosing.
 
All I have to say is Go Slovaks! Whoo! That`s spoilery, but I`m fairly sure I`m the only on one the boards heavily invested in Slovak hockey. Hee. I love the Olympics.

Actually, I typed the "some of you have changed" line to be funny. I don't know if it's true!

Your enthusiasm for hockey is fun to read.

bon bon, when you get done watching it, go back and re-watch with all the various commentaries. I've now watched it three times all the way through, and it gets better every time.

Yeah, we're doing some spurious math over here whether dedicating my netflix account to it is cheaper than the $75 for the series....

Buy it buy it buy it buy it. It's a good investment! Years of entertainment, plus, you can lend the first dvd out to friends to win multiple toasters.

Alibelle is so not real. I know. I've met her in person bunches.

Hee. I suppose I`m mellower now. It used to feel like we were creating our own social utopia and a misstep would be epic fail. Not that we knew those words then. I still feel sad at the loss of consensus. But I worked out we were just us and thread proliferation wasn`t going to end civilization as we knew it. I take myself less seriously now.
 
Except with hockey. That`s serious. I think the SO & I inadvertently create new fans through the sheer volume of our enthusiasm. It`s just a fun game, fast-moving and easy to start watching, often locally accessible. Lots of people aren`t into it, but that`s ok, they`re in good company. We enjoy it.

I`m fairly sure I`m the only on one the boards heavily invested in Slovak hockey.

My Czech blood spits on Slovak hockey! And then goes and weeps in the gutter after being beaten by freakin' Finland.

Also, dudes, I live with a Canadian. A Canadian who is massively, massively homesick right now, and who is heavily invested in hockey as a matter of course. (Some might say over-invested. Those people are not Alaskans.) The past week has been interesting, to say the least. I'm just happy I called the women's gold medal matchup at the beginning (USA vs. CAN).

Post-ToastiesL what I meant to say, Liese, is that we should go watch a hockey game together sometime.

I know! Finland, right? Also that women`s game tomorrow is going to be a great one. and with the men`s it`s entirely possible it`ll end up USA/Canada too. But the Slovaks could still play spoiler, so I stand by my original prediction, even though the rest of my medals lineup is already impossible.

Yes. Yes we should.
