Ramble About The Olympics? Alright, I Will!
So um, I love the Olympics. Totally unabashedly love them. And I feel the same way about my country.
And I am so frickin proud to say I was watching when Canada won it's first gold on home soil ever. Oh yeah. I think what also makes it pretty dang cool is that it wasn't one of the huge names on our Olympic team either, it was kind of a random. Bilodeau had an amazing run (also holy crap moguls look like the most painful thing ever) and he just looked so damn excited! It was infectious :)
Also caught the men's 5000m speed skating on Saturday night - a whole bunch of cuties taking home medals. Is it wrong that the main secondary reason I watch the Games is to compile a list of places I want to visit based on how good looking their athletes are? I mean, athletes don't need to be good looking to excel - unlike other celebrities that do, right? I don't know, I always thought of athletes as more like regular people than actors/actresses. Whatever, I'm still shallow, but I'm alright with that.
Watched a lot of the pairs skate short program last night too. Kavaguti and Smirnov (Russians) are my favourites, I think (over Dube and Davidson even, *gasp*) so I hope they do well. They were just so captivating.
Um, so that's me rambling about the Olympics.
