Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah shit, I think a tooth is developing a fracture. Like I need this when I need to repoint a shitload of mortar.

That sounds like it ought to be doable as combo....

If even Canadians are watching NBC's coverage, I guess the terrorists really have won.

Things I have learned today: Even instrumental versions of "Who Wants to Live Forever" make me weepy.

Happy Year of the Tiger everybody!

Hah!

I'm hoping me and the neighbors can get a group rate on repointing. A's mortar hasn't seemed to have leaked, but she has to replace her downspout. My downspout is fine, but I'll have to rip it down to repoint. B2, poor man, needs both. B1 discovered bricks half eroded, though he has no damage just a freaky ass ice wall. So I totally think we should go in together!

They can't help with my shitass teeth, though. Unless they need a dentist... (I and a referral get a $25 discount.)

Also, I'm thinking I might need to volunteer to be block captain in our neighborhood association. I kinda flail at the idea because I don't know the resources, but I seem to have made myself a common point of contact for people who didn't know each other before the storm. I dunno. Really even further outside my comfort zone.

Oh, I am back watching CTV. It was a temporary thing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ita, watch Lars and the Real Girl.

Yes, this. A thousand times.

Repointing mortar, repointing a tooth...

I once was seated next to a guy who was apparently a professional athlete. (He was wearing a flashy championship ring, and people obviously recognized him. I am not only sports impaired, but also generally impaired at recognizing celebrities.) He was in no way overweight, but he was huge. The plane was packed, so I assume it was the only available seat. He was clearly trying to make himself as small as possible, but it was a very squished trip. I wonder if they would have kicked him off?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I like both The Notebook and Lars and the Real Girl and recommend them!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lars and The Real Girl added to Netflix queue. I think I will steer clear of The Notebook. I can't see it being my thing.

Thrive to spite them

NBC keeps making these weird mistakes. When they were showing the short program pairs results they had a Canadian flag next to Shen & Zhao.

Also during the women's moguls one announcer kept saying an athelte was 17 and the other was saying 18 and during the jump portion of the nordic combined one announcer had his notes wrong and kept calling the athletes by the wrong name/country.
