I do want to see the women's ski jumping. I always thought that would be a fun thing to do.

I do a mean ski jump on WII. I always thought the little dorky WII icon looks like it has to pee, the way it pulls its knees together after it lands. But it turns out the real ski jumpers do that too. Heh.

I'll miss Bob Costas too. But you've got to love Johnny Weir's homage to Bob's pink-eye. In fact, you've got to love Johnny Weir, period.

Infuriating.

Male NBC announcer mansplaining about the Women's Downhill and the 3G forces around a turn:

"...all they have is their Lycra suit and a little bit of make-up".

WTF!

[Martina]

OK, if I hear the word "twizzles" one more time, . . . . *gnashes teeth*

[The JD]

I admit I have been terribly worried about Bob Costas' eyes…most relieved to hear he will be returning tomorrow!

[Smiling]

Curling is a weird sport.

I can't help but to laugh at the sight of Olympic athletes frantically scrubbing the ice; brows furrowed in concentration, lol. Is this sport actually played anywhere outside the Olympics?

P.S. Apropos to nothing, I've always wanted to luge. It looks thrilling!

He got there safe and sound, on the red eye!
