2/16/10

1. The utterly no nonsense commentary by the female commentator for NBC (I think it's Sandra Bezic). Every time any of the others try to do your usual feeble, bland, spin this into something positive kind of mediocre commentating, she inserts her dose of reality.
2. Watching the Chinese figure skating coach Yao Bin finally smile after his star pair, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo secure the gold (technically this was on 2/15, but whatevs), and another Chinese pair win silver. This is why I love the Olympics, people--watching athletes have their dreams come true. When Yao Bin competed himself, the audience laughed at their skating, it was so off because they only had photos to study from.
3. Getting my open queue down to 10 tickets. 10! The last time it was at this level must have been weeks and weeks ago. Fingers crossed things don't go nuts tomorrow.
4. Finishing up an easy tic-tac-toe board for my JS class homework right after class.
5. The non-nauseating feature on Patrick Chan: Mary Carillo - I don't have to tell you that there's never been a male Canadian figure skater who's won gold, right? Patrick - *laughs* Mary - I don't, right? Patrick - I think about it every day. The kid is cute, yo.
6. Finding New Look 6723 as a potential good contender for a wedding dress pattern, at least to start off of. Full skirt, sweetheart neckline, no sleeves - check.
