I shouldn't have checked the men's long program results. Now I'm going to go insane until I can actually watch them tonight. ARGH!!!!

On a not-really-related note, it's been a long time since I've really loved *everyone* on the American men's team, and all for such different reasons. I didn't use to like Johnny Weir all that much, but he won me over by being a total and complete nutjob. How can you not love his absolute candor and zaniness?

ETA: Okay, it's really bad when just reading Sale and Pelletier's live written reports (MAJOR OLYMPIC SPOILERS!!!) of each of the programs is making me cry. I am the world's biggest sports sap.

ETA2: schneck128! Curling! "This stupidest game EVER!"

ETA3: Watching ice dancing practice, and did the American girls make a super-sekkrit plan to all wear neon orange-pink practice dresses, or is it some sort of horrible coincidence? My eyes, ladies, my eyes!

I'm actually really into the curling. Much better than watching people ski down hills with 1/10-th of a second differences, IMO...

It's a plot. Everyone wear hunter orange to confuse the cameramen! And in a dance aside, someone, please, give Tanith a cheeseburger. And make her eat it, keep it down, and not chase it with anything, if you take my meaning. The girl is getting to be scary thin.

Johnny Weir--his skating bores me to an extent, and sometimes I do think he should keep his trap shut (Johnny, if you think the village is too down-market, go to a hotel or button your lip and deal with it), but really, he was sadly undermarked in the short. Really I don't know why anyone besides Plushenko bothered to show up.

All SLC Pairs scandal stuff aside, I LOVE Jamie and David. His thing tonight on how the random doping test (pee in a cup) works cracked me up.

Holy crap, David's little segment had me in stitches. I don't think I've ever heard the word "pee" said quite that many times on national television. And then "if you want to know what it's like, go over to your neighbor's house and ask him to watch you pee in a cup!" OMG.

That was soooooo funny. I've really been loving David and Jamie's commentary. David especially. Who knew he was that opinionated and articulate?
