why would i blog about anything else?

holy shit, y'all, could it get more dramatic than last night's women's figure skating final? seemed like each of the medal winners had her own reason to cry.
kim yu na cries with joy and relief.

mao asada cries with disappointment.

rochette, well, she made all of us cry.

some fun articles:
reaction in korea
real rivalry
reminds me of all that chatter about phelps and his extra-long arms, but somehow feels weirder to obsess over a woman's body, no?
now that figure skating is over, only two events of importance remain:
- men's hockey and the canadians kicking some ass
- wiping that smirk off of apolo anton ohno's face

no pressure

i know, it's so predictable to be into women's figure skating. honestly, i don't think i've paid this much attention since the nancy kerrigan/tonya harding days. kim yu na is totally adorable!

ps do you think brian orser is out in korea?

pps so kim yu na and my fave johnny weir are besties. girl has good taste.

ppps for an entertaining documentary of kim, go here. it's mostly in korean, fyi.

Slow-Day Observations: Hollywood

Hey, don't you think it's cool that Will Ferrell did a movie with Sacha Baron Cohen and then turned right around and did one with Sasha Cohen (pictured)? Yeah, me neither....Also, there is something to those Mormon tablets. Otherwise, there's no plausible explanation for how far supremely awkward Napoloeon Dynamite guy has stretched his fifteen minutes.

In totally unrelated Hollywood non-news, how is it that The Office, which--to its credit--has one of the most diverse casts on television only recognizes five cast members in its opening credits--all of whom are white? Is Ryan (straight man, rotting from within) more integral a character than Kelly? Or Karen? I'll accept that Stanley, Oscar (from Season 2), and the Warehouse guys are all subsidiary, and maybe Ryan gets a little bit more screen time than all but the four principals, but he's not the reason I watch...Anyway, Dunder-Mifflin, our little spring fling was fun while it lasted: 30 Rock's back on Thursday.
