Saturday afternoon or so

Feeling much better. The bug had mostly cleared up by Friday and today my stomach feels mostly normal, rather than plotting to overthrow the monarchy.

Congrats to our guys and the Canadian men in the Olympic curling event! Yes, we do rock! We even sweep up beforehand! (You should have heard the Minnesota crowd's cheer "Jeepers, creepers, where'd you get those sweepers..." You could really hear during the US-GBR match when they were the only match being played.)
olympicicons has a couple more curling icons within a larger post.

Also pleased Arakawa won her gold medal. Honestly, while watching the Grand Prix events this year, I said "Geez, the Japanese girls are skating like wildfire, I wouldn't be surprised if one won it all." I didn't expect to get that prediction right. The Japanese are not unlike the Canadians in that they're notorious for putting a lot of pressure on their skaters to perform well. Some of them hold up and others crumble. I had a feeling though, when "Olympic Ice" dissected the girls' practices and Arakawa was always mentioned as just going out and steadily getting it done. Sometimes the less showy approach does win.

Hiding in the cd stacks...

Slow day, so I've been cleaning and sorting my music collection. Sometimes I wouldn't have the case handy when I switched cds, so it'd go in the empty one I did have, prompting some "lost" cds. Also some oddball connections, like when I found the Carpenters hiding in the Pink album. I'm also putting the ones I want to get rid of for whatever reason into a seperate box, so I can debate what to do later with them.

I'm taping off the ice dance off the dvr. I've obviously watched "Championship Ballroom Dancing" too many times, because during the initial warmups, I could hear the announcer asking the audience who their favorite couples were...
