dream podium
In: sports
26 Feb 2010OMG. My dream women’s figure skating Olympic podium came true. Yu-Na winning gold, Mao silver, and Joannie bronze.
This NEVER happens.
AND my favorite US skater Mirai Nagasu had a terrific free skate and bumped herself up to 4th!
The skating gods must be trying to make it up to me for the results of the 1998 and [...]

figure skating gold
In: sports
23 Feb 2010Totally behind but YAY for Evan Lysacek winning men’s figure skating Olympic gold!
Before the men even did their free skates, I honestly thought Plushenko was going to win. But once I saw Plushenko’s program, I knew that Evan had done it. Even despite Plushenko’s quad. There seems to be so much emphasis on landing [...]

19 Jun 2009Rob and I found out on Tuesday night that the Lakers (it turned out to be just Kobe) were going to appear at Disneyland on Thursday morning to celebrate their NBA championship. Now, if you know the two of us, you KNOW this is the PERFECT combination of things we love. So I managed to [...]
WOOOOOOOT. It’s a good day today because the Lakers WON the 2009 NBA Championship. !!! YES.
Growing up in Southern CA, you can’t escape the Lakers. They’re everywhere. But it was definitely my grandma who first showed me what it means to be a fan. She took care of me when I was younger and the [...]

14 Aug 2008First, I just want to wish my husband Rob (weird!) a happy belated 30th birthday. It was actually yesterday but we were out sightseeing on the north shore and I was too lazy to blog about it.
So it’s 7pm Hawaii time… Rob’s taking a nap after a very tiring day at the pool [...]

ladies free skate
In: sports
23 Feb 2006SQUEE. The results of the ladies figure skating competition are pretty awesome.
Since Michelle Kwan withdrew from the competition, I didn’t have a favorite for the gold… I just wanted to see some good skating! Didn’t really get that — in fact, I think this Olympics was kind of lackluster compared to the last 4. It [...]

In: sports
21 Feb 2006So I wasn’t going to watch the ladies figure skating competition (still sad about Michelle Kwan not being able to compete *sob*) but… I’m a sucker.
Some thoughts as I was watching…
Kimmie Meissner – Very clean program. Good for her. I think she’ll be a force to be reckoned with if she sticks it out another [...]

12 Feb 2006I am inconsolable. I know Michelle Kwan didn’t have the greatest chance at winning gold but she was my sentimental favorite. I *love* watching her skate and I was hoping she would at least pull off a brilliant short program and free skate.
*sniff*

a gymnastics plea
In: sports
27 Sep 2004I know I promised not to talk about gymnastics until next year but… I have a plea. A really great person over at TWoP sent me tapes of the 96 Olympics and I spent ALL DAY watching them. It was so great to see the Magnificent 7 win the gold. Squee! My most favorite gymnastics [...]

bye bye gymnastics
In: sports
23 Aug 2004I never thought I’d say this but I am *so* glad gymnastics is over in the Olympics. I don’t want to get into it here (because I’m sure I’m just going to get all riled up) so let’s just say I’m feeling disillusioned by the whole Men’s All Around controversy, all the #@!$ protests, and [...]
