Curling and Joannie
Feb. 24th, 2010 05:59 pmSo I'd heard of Mahler before, but didn't know anything about him - I probably could have told you he was a composer? Maybe? But now, looking at responses to Tessa and Scott's free dance, there's a lot of "omg they used Mahler!!" sort of things. So I said this to Katie, like "So, I guess. . . Mahler's a pretty big deal?" and she laughed at me! ::sigh::
JR Celski. Way too hot. I don't even know. Such a cute, pretty face and such a rock solid body. Albeit disproportionate. XD Oh, speedskaters. Oh, thighs. Anyway there's this amazing picture of him posing in little black boxer-briefs but I'm too lazy to find it.
Other Olympic crush: Canadian curling John Morris. MMMMMMMM yes. Katie told me he was hot, I thought she meant hot for a curler. She also told me he was on some "most eligible Canadian bachelor's" list but you know Canadians will spread their legs for whoever's got the hammer. In Canada, "shot rock" has a whole new meaning. (Sorry, I'm still working on my curling innuendo. It'll come.) But no, no, Johnny Morris is legit hot. He is a firefighter! (OMG curlers, I love you so much.) Check him out second from the left, right behind Kevin. Not that Kevin isn't a sexy bitch as well. ::paws bald head::
US curling is also full of sexy boys, btw. Named. . . John, Joe, John and Jason, I think. Oh, Jeff, not Joe. Dammit. John, Jeff, John and Jason. And Chris. The alternate. Chris is probably a badass curler but had to be benched because he didn't match. :( Whatevs, he's a total dreamboat. But Katie and I are all about Jason Smith, aka Smitty. (Well, we know that Katie really wants a piece of Kevin Martin, but of her countrymen it's Smitty.)
Poor Team USA curling, btw. So cute, so not having good matches. Draws? I love the ladies too. Debbie is awesome!! It is just not their Olympics. But Katie and I are now huge fans of both teams so if any of them have a google alert or something and come across this, we think you're awesome! And we know you were just having some rough matches and are going to try to figure out how to watch more curling so we can see you guys at your best!
Also, Katie just emailed me the following: "So, I was reading about the previous Canadian Men's Olympic Curling team, who won. And apparently the skip was the first Newfoundler to win a gold medal and they closed all the schools in the province at noon so everyone could go home and watch the final match." Whaaaaaaaaat so adorable.
On a much, much more serious note, and I'm sorry for the abrupt transition from whimsy, I fell apart during Joannie Rochette's short program yesterday. Full on sobbing by the end of it. Usually emotion doesn't hit me right away, stuff like that, but god. I can't even begin to imagine going through what she's had to this week. I have no idea what's going through her head but I wish her all the best in the free skate, if she still wants to continue in the competition. Absolutely mind-blowingly amazing and inspiring that she's positioned so well for a bronze medal. If I couldn't manage to watch her skating, I don't know how she managed to actually do it - and perfectly.
By the way, apparently NBC was not showing her dad during her program. They had the wrong seat. Which, wow, that guy looked so, so sad. That's part of what set me off! I'm actually pretty glad they didn't have her dad on camera, because I don't think he needs his grief broadcast to the world - his poor daughter is already having to go through that. But now I'm worried about the guy they did show. Maybe he just really felt for Joannie - totally possible, of course. The crowd's show of support was emotionally moving as well. She skates second to last tomorrow. Madness.
