jennaria* We had a brief period where we could pause an evening's viewing of Olympics, then go back! And watch the rest of the evening! But then apparently Hulu and/or NBC realized what we were doing, and now all we get are single programs here and there. Boo! Boo I say!
* This is because I did not get to see Boyang Jin's free skate to Star Wars, seriously NBC why do you deny me. Also the French couple's free skate in Ice Dance is Not Appearing On The List. And even with the women's short program - for the love of heaven, we get Karen Chen and Mirai Nagasu's short programs, and the top two Russians (which, legit, especially as there was apparently some world-record-setting with the scores)...but the Canadian skater currently in third gets no love? Really? I mean, neither does Bradie Tennell, but she also was the first skater on the ice, so I think they assume (correctly, in our case) that everyone already saw her.
* (Of the people who we saw: I did adore the Shibutani sibs in Ice Dance. Like, don't get me wrong, Virtue and Moir are incredible, but having a non-white pair, who aren't going the romantic route...it's a beautiful change, above and beyond their skill level.)
* (And oh that poor French ice dance pair during the short program. Wife suggests that maybe the Ice Dance women should be, y'know, sewn into their costumes.)
* We've been kind of all figure skating, all the time, when we've been watching via Hulu. Tonight, no figure skating, so I will probably be watching skiing instead. And possibly working on the counted cross stitch project that was supposed to be, y'know, a Christmas present. Whoops.
*Saturday: we finally get to see BLACK PANTHER! I am so looking forward to this.
