My friend and I are exchanging daily photos during the Olympics of Yevgeny Plushenko looking all sultry. Today I got a picture of him holding a rose. He's dreamy.
So, the Russian pair skaters, was their costume political? It looked to me like it was a nod to the tsar era. I would have guessed that's controversial, but no one said anything, so maybe not?
I wasn't even thinking about the political aspects, I just thought the guy's costume was hilarious.
i turned off the pairs after the US pair skated (holy height difference there !!) and i caught a glimpse of the Russian pairs .. the guy's outfit made me chuckle .. how in the h do you skate in THAT ?!?
Hanyu rocked my world. I hate how Plushenko's programs are all the same, jump, jump, jump and now for the rest of the program.
I was so annoyed with Jeremy Abbott last night for having such a crappy performance. Dude, get a sports psychologist to help you deal with your nerves. He may have cost us a medal in the team event.
It was really unsurprising. He's had issues for years.

His haircut is perfect for twirling around on the ice. I am amazed.
I have my son addicted to the olympics now. Keep in mind- he saw snow for the first time last week (he's 4), so we don't see a lot of winter sports down here.
He is absolutely convinced that skiers are power rangers (the lycra apparently resembles the Power Ranger outfits). He sat mesmerized waiting for the bad guys to jump out at the skiers.
I am cracking up at that mental image. That might increase viewership, LOL Too cute!
I don't get the love for Plushenko at all. No thank you.
I liked the Canadian pair skaters. They were really good. But blame Canada & what not
I'm pretty sure the Russian pairs costumes were political in some way. But I'm not so good with Russian history or politics.
Someone mentioned they thought they were supposed to be Cinderella and her Prince, which I suppose makes sense given the shade of her costume and how her hair was pinned up. I was thinking Anna Karenina. lol
B) why didn't they dress her warmer if she is so cold? She's visibly freezing and trying to warm herself up.
C) I think the US should have boycotted these games and I am now convinced there is a new Cold War coming!!! (Clearly I saw the thing about the torch lighter).

Jesus Christ all I did was turn on the TV and apparently it wasn't even live until I was reading about Matt Lauer and wondering wtf you were all talking about. Now I'm live after I pressed the button.
