  • Last night's ice dancing was wonderful, wasn't it?  No one fell!  Yippee!  

    But you know what I realize I rather miss, though it used to annoy the fool out of me?  Scott Hamilton's inevitable observation of "Everything he/she/they do, they do so well."

    Remember that?  After a while it got funny, he said it so often.  And was it him or someone else whom one could count on to exclaim "He nailed it!" everytime a jump was successfully completed?  Or am I thinking of gymnastics in the summer games? 

    A speedskating race which I'm anticipating with some eagerness is the one that'll pit Chad Hedrick against Shani Davis.  Those two do NOT like each other and they each have a gold medal in these games.  Don't you know they're on fire to snag another gold, or at the very least, place higher than the other skater?

    Some of the ads running are amusing, which is a boon considering how frequently they're shown.  I'm particularly partial to the prairie dogs climbing on and into the SUV (I'm easily amused), the magic refrigerator (though it's got a huge flaw, since the guys in the other apartment clearly say "The magic refrigerator is back!", signifying they've removed the beer at least once before, so why does the man in the first apartment think this is such a slick idea?), and the couple with the smushed car.

    Tonight's the short program for the women's figure skating.  Do you suppose Sasha Whosit'll get it together this time?
