jennariaWife wound up temporarily upgrading Hulu so we could watch just the men's figure skating short program, as opposed to Events We Just Don't Care About on regular NBC. Thoughts:
1) Now I kinda want to re-watch Yuri!! On Ice, only with a fuckton more understanding about the scores. Like, yes it is totally possible to be a world-class skater and skate a world-class program and still score under 100 points on your short program (hello there Adam Rippon).
2) I am not going in to work today (for fun reasons), which is why we stayed up way later than was good for us. WHY ARE THE BEST SKATERS NOT ON UNTIL MIDNIGHT. Stupid time zones.
3) So, Yuzuru Hanyu! Way to live up to the hype, wow. Finished his skate and stared down the judges like, damn straight I won gold last time.
4) Oh, Nathan Chen. Oh bebe. Even NBC's usually catty commentators couldn't bear to claw at him last night.
5) After Nathan's scores, we turned off the computer and went to sleep, mostly because of point #2 above. Naturally I woke up before my alarm. Which usually goes off at 6. ...someday I will convince my body clock to cut that shit out, but today is clearly not that day.
