oh me, oh my....

...what an interesting past few days.

***

apparently the korean speed skater has nothing better to do than talk smack about ohno. so much for good sportsmanship.

***

and while on the topic of sportsmanship, the russian men's silver winner was basically classless in his trying to discredit evan's gold medal.

***

and...on other olympic-ness...ummm, ice dancing is basically interpretive dancing on ice. so how "authentic" can costumes be? they are called "costumes". yes, there were some tasteless choices, but the authenticity question i don't get.

***

and two words folks: bode comeback! love it!

***

oh, and the skier gal who did a hotdog move that cost her a gold in the last olympics? yeah, she got disqualified right out of the gates this time. and then some thought she was being disrespectful for not just skiing down after her disqualification. hey, if she is okay with her performances and choices within her sport, who are we to critize? i'd rather she handle it as she has than the unsportsy ones previously mentioned. i'm just saying...

***

and...on more local terms: had our first (and unfortunately probably not last since we are merely on the cusp of school years...) encounter with bullying. broke my heart to see my girl hurt. but hopefully it has been "taken care of" (and not in mob terms, just teacher terms, ahem). and if it is not, she has assured me she will tell me or the daddy.

here's to enjoying the rest of the olympics.

and school.

and life.

not necessarily in that order.
