leftovers from yesterday

I was warm and cozy under the blanket my mom made for me and really didn't want to trudge down into the dungeon to go get my laptop so i wrote out all my thoughts into my phone instead and i'm posting it  now.

Ski jumping looks like flying with tiny little wings.  Still crazy, but i love it.  There's this one Japanese guy that's at his 6th olympics.  That's awesome to me.

I don't really get ice dancing, but figure skating has jumps so i think it's better.  Plus, all the ice dancers do exactly the same dance and take the exact same path and have the exact same music that doesn't actually have an end point.  When the dancers finish, they stop the music for them.  It's just...why do i need to see someone do the tango on ice?

Trying to figure out the difference between combined, downhill, and super g.  I figured out slalom.  I watched downhill and super g and they look like the exact same thing.  Am i wrong?  What the flip is the difference?  Watching those guys wipe out, though, is ridiculous.  It's like an explosion.  How fast they're going and then tumbling down the mountain is akin to a high speed car accident.  We're talking like 90 mph here, probably more.  That one guy that crashed over the finish line then sorta strutted/smiled/danced away to show he was okay made me laugh.

Skeleton is as crazy as luge, but going head first.  They're both like watching people flirt with death.  It's exciting when they finish their run because they survive.  I'm surprised every time when they don't break a bone hitting the wall.

It's fun watching Bob Costas interview Steven Colbert.  All they talk is nonsense, make shit up, and laugh the whole time.  I feel like Colbert is drunk half the time.  He climbed into the fake fire.  It was funny.  Costas couldn't stop laughing.

fan boy, olympics
