Hmmm, i didn't get quite the response to my last post that I was hoping for. I thought everyone would be loaded with questions (well one of you was - LOL!)

Anyway, I'll try a different tactic next time... maybe a poll...

but if you do come up with any ideas, please feel free to post here or there or anywhere... I have writer's block something terrible.

In other news, I think I'm getting sick - and it's not helping at all that this fucking weather is so COLD!!!!! It's actually cold outside too, not just inside. But since I am not going out today, it doesn't matter. Miki came by this morning for a couple hours, and for the rest of the day, I'm going to just stay in my heated room, sit at my kotatsu (heated table), drink tea with lemon and watch... something...

And finally, I was super happy that when I was eating lunch today, my in-laws had the Olympics on and I had a chance to see Johnny Weir skate. And I'm now a HUGE FAN!!! Not only is he adorable, but he's amazing! I wish he would win a medal! The Japanese kid, and even that Canadian skater named Patrick Chan, were both very good technically, but Johnny was just so fun to watch!

Go Johnny Go!

I have a question:

Can anyone find anyplace on the internet where I can watch video highlights of the Olympic games, especially the figure skating? I can't find any single site on the internet where I can view videos from the Olympics that are actual footage or coverage. Of course they air the Olympics here in Japan, but not all the time, unless I had some kind of satellite. NBC's videos online are only viewable by people in the U.S., and there is nothing on Youtube. There must be lots of copyright issues or something, because there are no highlights anywhere on the internet.

If not, then I have a very big request: Is anyone able to DVR the Men's figure skating program (the long program) which is set to begin at 5 p.m. on Friday (pacific coast time - Vancouver time) and upload it for me to see? I might be able to catch a bit here but it will be starting during my yoga class. I want to see Johnny Weir especially.

I know it's a lot to ask, and I understand if no one is able to do it. I'll just wait a month or so and see if highlights become available after the Olympics are over.

Thanks! you may now resume your regularly scheduled programming.
