I don't have much to say about skating last night, because it was mostly good and not as snarkable. Although Emily Hughes (who was omgsocuteandawesome) does remind me strangely of Movie!Ginny Weasley. Also, Sloot had fireworks on her ass, or very near to it. I salute her for wearing pants, though. I keep hearing that Sasha Cohen looks like That ( Read more... )

Sasha Cohen looks like Alexis Bledel!! She, like, totally does.

Yes!! I think so tooo!

Finally! Someone you don't have to shove into the TV to see that!! Alexis is prettier though...

There was an article about Ladies' Figure Skating in the New York Times magazine back in December that mostly focused on Emily Hughes. It was interesting, and she comes across as being very cool and grounded. Which, when your older sister is a gold medalist, is I think an accomplishment.
The thing about the ports is that they were already owned by a UK company. So it's not like we're giving control to a foreign entity all of a sudden. And freaking out that now the owners would be Arabs smacks of racism to me. The UAE isn't Syria or Iran.
And yay for Radcakes giving to charity. I bet Jo's happy too.
Thanks for the Grey's blog.
What I find amusing about the TomKat break up story is that the orginal story said that they planned to deny it and stay together until the kid was born. So the magazine sort of covered its ass against denial.

Johnny Weir is also apparently obsessed with Russia...and Christina Aguilera. Yeah, I don't know either.

I'm on the west coast & just saw Cohen skate. I'm pretty good at lipreading & she did, indeed, say "fuck yeah."

Whee! That makes me really happy for some reason.

Any idea as to why I can't read the entirety of the Leaky Cauldron article re: JKR kidnapping? It ends "But even in satire%" for me.

Same for me. I figured at that point that I'd gotten the gist of it: Freedom of speech is good, unless it's about something we don't like.

lotusbiosm February 23 2006, 05:05:46 UTC

yeah, that's pretty much what it's about.

It seems half the editorial was mysteriously *eaten* by the browser/word processor/Melissa's decreasingly massaged ego - yesterday, she was asking her minions the readers if anyone had saved it so she could re-upload it. I read it all - I think - when it was posted, and I don't recall anything particularly interesting in the now lost excerpt.

I've been accompanying the situation (week off uni! I can afford to sit and watch as wanks unfold online, ok?), and it truly is getting out of hand. While I concede the article wasn't even funny (for meee!) to begin with, it's so. Very. Tame. Compared to the reaction it's been getting. It's comforting to see most recent comments in TLC are on the anti-egomaniac editor bandwagon.

Up until yesterday, I had no problems saying I'm very much a Potter fanatic, whether online or off. Having second thoughts, now. Want nothing to do with this crowd.
