raloriaMore thinky thoughts, observations & opinions while watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.
♦ How do Luge athletes breathe when they put on that face-mask? It looks so close-fitting all the way around.
♦ Why does the Speed Skating starter guy have such a long, drawn out "Reeeeaaaady"? It's annoying.
♦ It sucks that NBC doesn't show any of the Curling competition. I like curling. *sigh*
♦ I still can't believe I'm in the same time zone as the Olympics and have to watch it on a friggin' tape delay! Uuummm....What????? This is so wrong!
♦ Watching the pairs Figure Skating competition, I was struck by the sameness between all the routines, especially in the Long Program. This is the result of the change in judging rules and I gotta say, I don't like it. There's no freedom for creativity anymore.
♦ Another observation on Figure Skating. It's weird to see skaters I grew up watching who are now coaches and choreographers. I must be getting old.
♦ So tired of seeing the same commercials during Olympics coverage....over and over and over.... And it's only day six. Ugh.
Okay, so this list was a little more ranty than the other one. *shrugs*
