…Apparently also applies to the Olympics. See, this is why I haven’t been watching. Because I tried with pairs skating and then had to stay up late to see the skaters who were actually good. As it got later and later, I thought, maybe I should just give up and go to bed. But then, I’d just watched a ton of skaters who were constantly falling, and I wanted to see at least one couple who could stay upright throughout their whole program. Since then, I’ve just sort of hoped the Olympics would be gone soon so that normal TV could come back. Tonight, though, I thought I’d give it another shot. Figure skating again. Just watched the first one–someone in, like, twenty-first place. So, it’ll probably be another three hours before they get to the good ones. Sigh.

I'm a twentysomething MFA grad enjoying life in a state of flux, dreaming of Paris and San Francisco while loving the warm summer evenings in North Carolina. I'm a little irreverent, a little mercurial, with an uncanny knack for putting my foot in my mouth.

I actually stayed up until midnight to watch all the women skate. I am very, very tired now. But at least the last hour was uninterrupted coverage…
I gave up. I thought I could make it to the non-stop skating (“The six best women’s figure skaters in the world!!”), but I didn’t stick it out. When did I get so old?
