Pairs' Figure Skating, Short Program: Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze were stunning. Perfect, precise, and they absolutely set the standard for all the pairs to follow. The Canadians were ridiculous. There's all this hullabaloo for Sale and Pelletier to break the 10-Olympic Russian domination, but you can't do it when your program is silly and you drop your partner on the final pose. The Chinese couple almost made Scott Hamilton lose another testicle with the height on their throw triple loop.
Ladies' Mogul: Tae Satoya, the little Japanese girl who won gold in Nagano, is adorable -- the kind of girl you'd find on Third Street Promenade paying a lot of money for a Benetton sweater. I love the helicopter things they do off the ramps, which reminds me of a game Ramon and I used to play on his PS2. Jose and I couldn't understand the Cirque du Soleil setup for the medal ceremony.
Bob Costas: Corniest Man in America, and during Olympic season, the World. On the Cirque du Soleil thing: "If they do this for every ceremony, we'll have to go straight to Athens when this is all over." On last night's opening ceremony: "It's 20 degrees here but the goosebumps are for another reason."
Blogger virgin no more, and on this first day I've done it four times. I wish I was that enthusiastic about other first-time endeavors. I'm off to Po's now for some late night junk food snacking and girl talk. On the road to being a Golden Girl!
