I've gone through and deleted all our old episodes of Breaking Bad from the DVR in anticipation of it filling up with winter sports I pretend to know something about once every four years.
Me! I've been irrationally excited all week. And will be DVRing pretty much everything. When it comes to the Olympics, I will watch pretty much any sport.
I usually love the Olympics, although I vastly prefer the summer games, but the big draw for me this year is what a giant clusterfuck this whole thing appears to be. I just hope something really bad doesn't happen.

I sincerely hope nothing does happen but my spidey sense is on full alert.

I feel so badly for people in sports where careers don't generally span > 1 Olympics/this is their only shot, if it turns out to be as bad as my impressions have been so far. It's the dream of a lifetime for so many.

Yes, this is so true! My H and I were talking last night about athletes having to barter pillows for lightbulbs and stuff - I just can't imagine dreaming your whole life of representing your country in the Olympic games and having it be an absolute shitshow.
Absolutely! Planning to watch the opening ceremonies and as many events as possible. I love the Olympics- go Team USA!!
My BFF and I created a drinking game to accompany us during the opening ceremony.
Us too! Well, we tried anyway- last time it ended up being trying to be the first to yell out the name of every random country as they came out with their flag- and the loser had to drink. I was amazed at how many countries I hadn't heard of (and some of the names).
Missed the opening ceremonies, but caught some of the figure skating. I felt SO BAD for the American skater that biffed it after his triple double (or whatever you call it) and then proceeded to basically run into the wall. OMG, and the interview afterwards where the broadcaster was asking him what went wrong...that poor guy!!! My H and I were yelling at the TV, "leave him alone!"

The opening ceremonies are tonight
I feel for Abbott, but he is a head case at International events and I'm not really shocked by his performance. I am ready to watch Jason Brown in the long program.

LOL, shows how much I know. I just assumed they were on the first night

I did really like Abbott's costume - it was nice and simple and seemed very sleek.

He seemed like a head case.
This would be a pretty safe assumption in the past, but they added a bunch of new events this year and had to start soem of them early. I'm just excited about three extra days of skating!!!

I agree. I didn't like the outfit that guy that went before him had on (I think he was Russian)?
That's my only real contribution to skating discussions. I know nothing.

The costumes were awful on the Russian couple that had the Cinderella and Prince Charming outfits. You and I can contribute to the ice skating discussion by judging of the costumes.

The male short skate guy looked like he had one bleeding nipple.
