Yes and Please

Evan Lysacek. Wow. I don't find his thin awkward skating body unattractive any longer...damn!

I think it's because he kind of looks like Eric Bana-ish here which is just upping his average. I have a thing for olympians and who doesn't? Especially a medal winning olympians. I just want to be a part of it, ad if I don't have to train hard core to do it then so be it, so girlfriend it is.

I watched Evan and the mens final and I think it was great. He was clean and even if he didn't have a quad it was the best performance of the night. Now he has the gold (and the body to back it up). Impressive

Only the Best Canadians

I love canadians. How many times will I say that...um, always. Because canadians rock. My favorite beyond any contest is Michael J. Fox. Hands down no one will ever come close to the man who can only be described as inspirational.
The man is brilliant and fighting for a cure to his own disease. I read his autobiography a few years ago and was completely moved y his story, and his honesty. He at one point admits that he his wife should have left him. He was awful and he knew what he deserved. And now he has just turned him life around.

Of course, I will always love Marty...and if you don't know which Marty I am referring to, I am extremely disappointed. Get some culture will you!

Michael has been around the Vancouver Olympics obviously and a gossip website which I read religiously caught this picture of Michael meeting Virtue and Moir the ice dancing gold medalists from Canada. I am so jealous... and no one's surprised

I Approve

Oh Lizzie...I mean Hilary. You've landed yourself a hockey man. And while everyone might be preoccupied with Carrie's engagement, I am not. Her big hair will not distract me.

I am actually very thrilled with this pairing and how normal it is. For instance Hilary sits in the stands at his game with the people. Carrie sits in a private box and when the camera shoots to her she ducks...don't believe me. I'll attach the video. It will make you despise her. I mean she sees herself on the screen and literally drops to the ground. What was she thinking??

Anyway, congrats to Hilary and Mike! Mike proposed to a completely shocked Hilary in Hawaii. Everyone's jealous, blah...

Relationship Jealousy

Meaning I want their relationship not the meaning you're thinking of.

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Engaged. Have been for a good amount of time now. I love it. Love it so much more then most couples. First of all, I feel they deserve each other.

Both seem so warm hearted and kind. Both very talented and are aware of the fragility of fame. No one is raving about how awful her new movie is. Remember when he was in that movie with Mandy Moore? We forget about these things because we love them so much.

Second of all, the fit each other, physically. They both have a weird kind of attractiveness but somehow they fit together. Loves it. So so jealous.......

My Heart WILL Go On

Now that we've got the Olympic ball rolling I might as well start in on the Opening Ceremonies. I was hoping for just so much more. I wouldn't actually believe it when the tribes started dancing. I admittedly did not watch live but received updates often and have to admit that it was a stranger opening ceremony than most.

My complaint came with the performances. I wanted Celine. A notable Canadian. She would have blown the roof off if she even appeared! Theo and I have hypothesized that she would have known how bad it was going to be and would never go near that disaster.

The most moving part was obviously the entrance of the Georgian team after losing one of the 8 original members of their team to a highly publicized and completely tragic and untimely death on the first day of practice. I was touched.

Oh, Canada...

I love the Olympics. Period.

Summer olympics are more my thing but the sports aren't event he main reason I watch as much of the olympics as I can get on my television. It's the whole premise. The entire world comes together for 16 days and even through competition, the differences are put aside for this major event.

As far as my winter sports go, anyone can tell you I like curling. I have no way to describe it but I love it. Hockey, I mean obviously. I however will be rooting for my love Sidney and team Canada on this end. And then of course there is the good old flying tomato and with Shaun White all of the rules go out of the window. I told Theo during the opening ceremonies that I would let go of the whole "his hair is longer than mine thing" for him. That is not something to take lightly.

My real favorite part of the Olympics is the knowledge I feel I get in watching. I learn about the host country and about each athlete, all of the information my mind likes to store for no reason. I love love love it.
