The Grand Prix lineup has been announced, and at Skate America I get to see, among others ( Read more... )

There's nothing like hiding in a small, tucked away typing room in order to stay in the library past closing time, and now sitting at a table trying to get a paper done at the last minute while jamming to my American Idol playlist that encompasses Seasons 2-5, with Harper as my partner in crime. We fully intend on finishing our work with enough ( Read more... )

Well, LJ ate my first attempt at this, but I'm going to redo it.  Champions On Ice update!  It's basically a week late, and I blame my procrastination and the last week of classes.  Anyhow, I had a *great* time last Friday, and under the cut are details.  I decided not to do a play-by-play of the entire show, just because it was getting repetitive ( Read more... )

More of an update and more pictures to come tonight-ish, because I had the best night last night... but in the meantime, I just have to post this one.

( It was rad )

...I fell asleep. It was like 3:30, I heard somebody up and I laid down in case they came to my room cause I didn't want to get into an argument about me still being up. And I fell asleep and didn't wake up till 20 minutes ago. After all that time zone coordination and nervousness and skating fan solidarity, I SLEPT THROUGH THE EVENT THAT MEANT ( Read more... )

So, Worlds have started and they're in Tokyo. ESPN coverage starts... *thinks about what day it is* tomorrow night, but nothing will be live since they're 13 hours ahead of us, so when they're up, it's the middle of the night here, and vice versa. However, Eurosport is airing live online streaming of a lot of the events- the Dutch Eurosport airs ( Read more... )

This first installment of Courage Day focuses on what exactly Evan has done over the past year- meaning, other than my obvious bias towards thinking he's great, I'm not going to be talking about my own experiences...this is more just a recap of Evan himself.

A year and two days ago today (or yesterday, if this posts after midnight), Evan Lysacek ( Read more... )

Today is the one-year anniversary of Evan's incredible free skate at the Olympics...which means it's also the one-year anniversary of my devotion/obsession/fangirling/weirdness/whatever you want to call it. :D I've declared February 16 COURAGE DAY because a) Evan demonstrated a lot of courage that day, and b) Evan realized this and that is when " ( Read more... )

Idol auditions are over, yay...now we get to move on to the real show.

Lost is back, yay.

....but, my working theory is that I'm going to wake up in the morning to find that tonight was most certainly a dream and that the 4CC men's short program most certainly did not happen yet, and MOST certainly did not go the way that it did. :(

I'm halfway into my second week of classes, and things have been going much better since that frenzied post the night before they started. I think I was having a lot of apprehension that night, but I've been telling myself that I can do this, I can get things together, and so far I've been doing just that. I have this huge schedule on my wall ( Read more... )
