Most failtastic morning ever?

Jun 22, 2010 09:52

I woke up this morning, showered, put on a dress washed just this Sunday, a little scarf, and some nice non-odorous gladiator sandals and then thought "You know sometimes it gets chilly in the office, let me grab something to wear."

Well, for some reason I grabbed the pink hoodie I have been wearing to skating and I guess maybe it's harder to smell things in the cold ice rink because dudes, this jacket reeks. Full on, no holds barred reeks. I was able to wear it for about five minutes before my body heat started waking up the funk and I had to SNIFF myself.

Guess I'll just sip some tea for warmth. ;________;

Also, why did I think I could skip breakfast? I am not the kind of person that can skip breakfast. I wake up every morning with a wolverine inside my stomach. I know people who delicately insist that their stomach just can handle a heavy breakfast, or any breakfast at all but I wake up practically ready to devour a t-bone steak, three eggs, two biscuits, some grits, a glass of orange juice, and two cups of tea. In fact that pretty much sound like heaven to me.

Good thing I've got these twelve almonds to munch on. ;___________;

In other news, Nick Jonas was in Les Mis and apparently did well? I haven't listened yet. But I did see the pictures. And honestly, I've jumped the ship when it comes to Joe Jonas. That ill-fitting three piece plaid suit and goatee stubble was just the final straw. (Sorry Joe.) Maybe one day, when his Gaga influenced solo comes out and he does interviews about how he'd like to be a panda or defensively insist that rock stars wear tight pants I'll remember why I liked him so much.

You know who I ended up liking that I didn't think I would? Brian Joubert. I don't know why I thought I wouldn't like him. Maybe because I didn't realize skating would eat my entire soul. Also he does douchey things like pose buck-ass naked in socks.



Yeah he's good looking, but wait!
1. He cussed in the Kiss and Cry during the Olympics. It was LEGIT hilarious. He skated a disastrous short program, and got off the ice shaking his head and beating himself up and while he waited for the scores he just started cursing. It was so anti-Olympic! I loved it. See below:

me: bahahahahahaha man. Brian Joubert. New found love. He was swearing in French during the Olympics. like people couldn't understand him but he was in CANADA
Kate: Bahahaha Whoops!!
me: His coach was like "Woah now sweety. SMILE FOR THE CAMERA!" while Brian's shaking his head all "POUTAIN!"

2. After the Olympics he told Johnny Weir to keep skating, insisting that there was nothing wrong with the way either of them skated. IDK, it's just nice to know that someone in the skating world was like "DON'T LEAVE!" because seriously Johnny, DON'T LEAVE. (Sigh. I know he's already left). Also, fun fact! Their moms are friends! Because they're the only skaters over the age of 25 and going to every competition with their mommies.

3. The fact that he stubbornly refuses to move away from his mother and hometown means that ISU has had to be creative with their fluff pieces about him in an effort to make him not seem like a gigantic mama's boy:

(Also baw, this is before Brian found out that he always chokes at the Olympics. Also Blade! Click on that for a big old chubby bull dog on ice with his master. It's the cutest video you'll ever see in French.)

4. But spoilers guys, he's a gigantic mama's boy:

(He talks about how he's 22 and he's not about to live alone cause his mom's an awesome lady that makes him tasty snacks. Also baw, his father is kind of a douche...)

5. If you've watched those two videos you've probably thought "Oh god, he's so ARROGANT." Which is of course, part of the European appeal. See this discussion:
Kate: He seems like such a dick, but in the best way
me: haha, yeah. He's the very definition of French. A little bit gay yet a poon hound, talented, melancholy, and arrogant. (also fond of nakedness)

So yes. I mean... he IS easy on the eyes:



He's a 100% not as pretty as Johnny Weir though.



He has a reputation as a masculine skater. I think because of a deep love of techno music/The Matrix movie, and some less than balletic tendencies on the ice. But please don't think he doesn't love rhinestones. This guy. He loves rhinestones.



He's got this great crooked nose with possibly the most endearing freckles in skating though.



Swanbear. I'm shipping it. Just a little.

ETA: Third fail, 20% of this morning was spent doing work. 20% was spent bullshitting. 60% was spent on this post. #Ishouldgetfired

straight up blather, hey look a johnny weir tag
