Emily Hughes looks EXACTLY like her sister. Very different body type (from what I remember), but the face is so similar it's freaky.

Why had nobody told me that Johnny Weir is Brian Bosworth's son? Maybe I'm the only one who finds this hi-FREAKING-larious, but I do. It's a by-product of having grown up in Oklahoma during the era of The Boz. Also, I knew he was a character, but I didn't realize quite HOW MUCH of a character. I am amused, and also now REALLY looking forward to the long program tomorrow.

Ummm...
Somebody give Evgeny Plushenko some drugs, 'cause I think he's spazzing out. What the heck WAS that? Massively fast footwork and slow but intense music? Not into it.

watching snowboarding (never mind that I know how it ends...). I've decided that "Giacomo" is the ultimate Italian surfer name.

I haven't been paying that close attention (been working on various and sundry things), so irihs and aethera will probably yell at me for liking the wrong people, but the Russian pair just blew everyone else out of the water in the short program. Their synchronization was FLAWLESS in every single move. Plus they did the semi-obscene double camel spin, which always gets people bonus points in my book.

I <3 CBC Olympic coverage. They treat their daytime programming as their primary programming, and the evening as the rebroadcast, which means that we can watch lots of stuff live that we'll never EVER see on any of the NBC coveage (even the cable coverage). For example, I saw the photo finish for the bronze in the 15k nordic combined this morning. Hell, I saw MOST of the 15k nordic combined this morning. Not that I'm a huge fan of nordic combined (but I do love ski jumping...), but just an illustration of the difference in the coverage.

I really also like the "Life Takes" Visa commercial.

And here's something I don't get. I just don't get moguls skiing. I mean, I get the mogul part (go fast over the bumps), and I get the aerial part (do nifty things in the air in the midst of skiing really fast down a mountain). But I really can't fathom the combination of the two. Whose idea was it to combine them? I'm baffled.

But I do know who won the women's moguls, thanks to CBC coverage. Nyah-nyah to those of you who won't see any of the finals because ( ack! spoiler! )
