So-are ya watching the Olympics?...

... we've had it on each evening-semi=watching, semi=noise...

We thought the one snowboarding one yesterday was pretty cool! (whether we think it should be an Olympic sport... ,still cool!) DH and I thought we'd have fun doing that-if we were 20 yrs younger, that is...

The skating-the one US team just didn't look into it-the 16 yr old blonde and the other guy. 

And Curling starts tonight... that is just intriguing... brushing the ice... wha?!? 

Re: So-are ya watching the Olympics?...

  • I keep meaning to but have fallen asleep every time I've layed down to watch tv, lol.
  • I have onl watched some speed skating and skiing. It isnt that thrilling!
  • I love the Olympics. I'll pretty much watch anything . . . but maybe not curling. We'll see. I really like the skiing events.
  • We've watched some of the skiing, snowboarding, speed and figure skating.  I enjoyed the figure skating especially, but was disappointed at how many skaters fell and how many of the performances looked the same (since they have all the same requirements now).  Overall, pretty interesting to watch though.

  • I watched a little snowboarding and pairs figure skating last night. This is so lame, but I totally had a tear when the chinese couple who've been doing this for 18 years finally won gold! This is their 4th olympics and they're getting married and most likely retiring after this. So cute! I want to watch the men's figure skating tonight, I love Evan Lysiciek or however you spell it. I love when they skate like MEN. I mean, I understand it's probably a gay dominant sport, but just cause you're gay doesn't mean you skate like a girl. Man up, b!tches.
     

  • I really only like the highlights.  I am not a sports girl at all and I just don't have the attention span to sit there watching all of those people do the same thing over and over.  Give me the opening and closing ceremonies and the medal ceremonies.

    Ha! Agreed!

  • I've been catching bits here and there but nothing too major.  Love the snowboarding and skiing events mostly.

    I have to admit I have tried curling before and frankly it's pretty darn fun (partaking of Pabst Blue Ribbons while I was playing helped make it fun).  It's ridiculous how hard it really is!  It's not something I'd care to watch hours on end, but to actually play it is the way to go.

  • I have been watching the Olympics!  Love 'em.  I just wasn't too thrilled with the team U.S.A skating pair either.  They were just kind of 'eh.  I can't wait to see curling, I'm intrigued because team Canada has a pregnant curler!  I'm sad I missed the speed-skating, that's my fave.Sad

  • We DVR them and watch as much as possible! My twin and her DH are up there this week, and had tickets to the women's luge, men's super combined, and snowboard half pipe, but all they got to go to is the luge :(. Of the other two, one was cancelled, and the other was delayed. And they only refund you on the cancelled ones, so they have to find someone to buy their other tickets because they can't stay that long. They're still having a great time though!
