What do you mean no one? I love the Olympics, admittedly I see more Summer than Winter but this year is the first time in a while I've seen so little of it. Mostly because I've just been so out of touch with things and busy. I've been getting internet updates (luge death, those crazy Russian figure skaters, Johnny Weir-w00t! snowboarding etc) but I managed to catch some yesterday and what did I get? Curling -____- I want speed skating damn it! And I missed the opening ceremony!
FM already? Time flies. I remember when you posted last year...
I meant more in Real Life. Everyone around is mostly "eh" about it. I stayed up far too late last night watching the male figure skating short program. I am, I admit, mostly there for the figure skating.
I bought the FM tickets the morning they came on sale; I've been waiting to see them for years.
Sadly, no one is allowed to take pics of the HP Exhibits, the photo tryants.
I think most people are usually been a bit "eh" about Winter Olympics. It's like it appeals to a more specific? if that's the right word subset... Remember Summer Olympics? Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt wonder and hype? That's hard to beat....
Oh I def. agree that people are much more about the Summer Olympics. By numbers, it's just larger. More events, more countries compete, more medals awarded, more people watch etc etc. And even I can admit, most people look at curling and go, "Um, wtf?" You just don't get that with the javelin or the shot-put.
