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 [...]

valentine’s day
In: life
17 Feb 2010I’m officially giving up on the 30 Day Meme. The rest of the prompts require way too much thinking… also, L-A-Z-Y.
So what have I been doing? Mmm… watching WAY too much Olympics coverage. I’m an Olympics junkie. I’ll watch anything that NBC “packages” up in primetime — speed skating, alpine skiing, luge, etc. And of [...]

In: memes
23 Jan 2010I just realized that my blog celebrated it’s 8th (!!!) birthday last Sunday. Wow!
On to the 30 Day Meme. Ok seriously… “whatever tickles your fancy” sounds weird to me so I’m changing the name of today’s prompt slightly to…
Day 06 — Anything!
So I’m a huge figure skating fan and it’s that time of year [...]

My head hurts but I really want to post something so… here’s some random thoughts in list form.
1. I’m not really a fan of the Twilight series nor did I enjoy the first movie but for some reason, I still want to see New Moon. The clips from the trailers already make it look light [...]

I just finished watching Red Eye… you know, the movie with Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy.
I haven’t laughed like that in such a long time.
Heh.
Anyway. I know we’re in the middle of March Madness (yay UCLA!) but it’s ALSO the week of the World Figure Skating Championships. Woot! Spoilers/results ahead…
For me, the best event was [...]

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 [...]

ladies figure skating sp
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 [...]

In: sports
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*

gallery is evil
In: site stuff
12 Jan 2004OMG. I seriously want to kill Gallery. My boyfriend is trying to help me reinstall it for High Anxiety and let me tell you, it is A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. The stupid thing won’t work correctly. I’m *so* close to chucking it out and trying to find some other photo image gallery. Does [...]
