POLAR BEARS!
So many events would become more exciting this way. Not a few Summer events too.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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

Seriously. Polar Bears Plus Curling Equals One Hundred Percent Genius.

One hundred percent genius would be curling polar bears.

Woo hoo, renewed signs of interest from last year's college football player.

So for those who were waiting for the verdict on crack pie: whoa. The sugar content somehow manages to directly contact the pleasure sensors in the brain.
I suspect the part I really like is the crust. You could make that cookie crust for other kinds of pie, like coconut cream or something. Something that doesn't have 8 egg yolks in it.

No, that's just a Coke commercial.
Hmmm, there's a girl named Caydee (sound it out...) about to skate now. I like her haircut but hate that spelling. Conundrum.
However, her partner has a Greyhound bite scar on his face. So that's in the plus column. (As a child the family Greyhound bit him, but he defended the dog so that it wasn't put down.)

What is up with these skating costumes? And these music choices?
Although I'm happy to see the Russians continuing the tradition of having one supremely elegantly dressed couple. But kids, don't pick skating music from such an iconic (infamous?) performance.
And I certainly hope the Grand Canyon Suite also being "inspired for the Canadian Rockies" is some crap that they fed the woman announcer and that she did not spout that on her own.

Heh. Kristin and Drew and I just watched the opening ceremonies (TiVo fastforwarded through large chunks) and the watch and post comments suddenly make sooo much more sense. Awesomeness. We had much fun making fun if it. And I had fun seeing them!
And I even found one of the two missing things at the bottom of my bag, when I got to my hotel. Sadly, the other thing was definitely left at home: my baggie of 3 oz containers. Guess I'll be hitting cvs tomorrow for some toothpaste and deodorant. Sigh.

It's a good thing I recognize the music used tonight since the announcers aren't bothering to say what it is at this point.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
watching pairs figure skating is far less interesting 1) without sound and 2) in snippets between calls so that i can't watch an entire program. I think i may give up and try to watch online later.
bought a set of pyrex mixing bowls and am so very excited. this is a lovely replacement for the scraped-up plastic ikea nesting bowls i've been using for over a decade.
