* Watching the Paralympics highlights. Skiing for the visually impaired amazes me. The trust between the skier and the guide must be so strong. Our dream for triple Olympic gold (women's hockey, men's hockey and sledge hockey) was thwarted, not by the Americans or the Russians or the Swedes but by... the Japanese!! Curses *shakes fist in anger ( Read more... )

I've been practically glued to the tv this entire weekend... except for the ~90 mins when I forced myself to go outside & run some errands only to discover I missed, not 1, but 2 gold medal performances!! Damn my luck! The MUCH HYPED GOLD MEDAL OMGWEHAVETOWINTHIS hockey game is on right now but I can't watch, the anxiety... I hear car horns ( Read more... )

Did you hear that the Canada vs USA hockey game is tonight? At 4:30 PST/7:30 EST. No, really, did you know? Cause just in case anyone was wondering, CTV has only mentioned this fact about a million times this morning. They even had a NBC sports analyst guy to talk about the game and he basically said that most of the USA probably doesn't even ( Read more... )

I missed the men's free skate and I still haven't seen any of the performances but I was SHOCKED that Lysacek won. I figured the only way Plushenko would lose the gold is if he chucked his program out the window and gave the judges the finger lol. Well, congrats to him and yay for Chan for moving up a spot. Elvis Stokjo, on the other hand, was ( Read more... )

I had plans yesterday but I did nothing. Sat on the couch and watched Olympics all day \o/ Maelle Ricker - ladies' snowboard cross winner - is the cutest thing ever. I don't think she's stopped smiling! *squishes her* I also can not watch Olympic hockey. I give myself heart attacks! Watched almost the entirety of the men's figure skating ( Read more... )

Olympics are less than a week away!! I'm getting excited! I can't believe it's 7C (45F) in Vancouver right now. That's way too warm, people! And they're having snow issues. Too much rain, not enough snow. Whistler is okay, it's the other site, Cypress Mountain (snowboarding, freestyle), ( Read more... )

The Olympic torch relay came through the GTA (Greater Toronto Area)/Toronto today. A friend & I went to City Hall to see. The place was packed. We got there around 6:40. The torch was scheduled to arrive at 7pm. It arrived more like 8pm -- supposedly a protest held up the relay. We got a pretty good view from the upper walkway but we couldn't ( Read more... )
