Pizza for breakfast
Pizza is one of my favorite breakfasts. So is blueberry pancakes and bacon (which I had on Sunday), but pizza ranks pretty high as well.
In other news, I was wrong.
I had always heard that the US coverage of the Olympics sucked and was so pro-USA it was sickening. Now I will admit, I was annoyed that they ran the Daytona 500 on Sunday instead of Olympic coverage, but the Olympic coverage they had was great. It was pretty much like the Canadian coverage and had bios of international atheletes as well as US. They showed races that did not have a single American in them. They even showed a medal ceremony that did not have an single American in it (Italy won the 4 by 10km cross country relay).
I enjoyed it very much.

BTW, I don't think Swami should be able to get away with not putting pictures in her "How we met" story.

I liked last nights coverage as well. I just love the cross country skiing. I find it so exciting! However I also find marathon races exciting too so I guess that explains it.
I kind of like the ice dancing. Not as stuffy as the other figure skating stuff.
Joke I made up:
What type of Olympic sport does Bob like?
Bob-sled!!! Bwahahahahahahha
I'm loving the coverage too. You know they have stuff on 4 channels, right? NBC, CNBC, MSNBC and USA. I like all the coverage they are giving to curling. Evidently the phones are ringing off the hooks at curling clubs all over the country as people get their first exposure to the sport and see that it looks fun and very doable! And it is one of the few sports in which you can be competitive right through middle age.
Ice dancing is my least favorite of the figure skating competitions. I couldn't believe all the falls! My current theory is that a lot of feather bits fell off the stupid white poofy skirt of the Israeli(?) ice dancer chick and people's blades are thrown off. Did you see the little poofs fly of her skirt in her spin? I'm surprised they let her wear that thing!
That would be clever of her with the skirt.
We have no cable, so if it isn't on NBC, I don't get it.
I really wish I could watch the womens hockey, but I doubt they will broadcast the gold medal match, now that the US is out.
I thought the same thing about that feather dress, Swami. It was ugly to.
I don't enjoy watching curling at all. Not at all. I probably wouldn't mind playing though. But man it's boring to watch. *yawn*
We've watched a lot and have seen a bunch of non-USA coverage. I, of course, turn it off or fast forward through non USA stuff.
I haven't watched as much this year as I have in the past. I would like to though because I really enjoy the Olympics.
Bob confession: I find curling very exciting to watch.
I guess I'll be very happy when I'm 60 and can go lawn bowling.
The kids have really gotten into the Olympics this year - of course, the weeklong classes at school about the Olympics history and all the countries involved helped quite a bit. And this is the first year both of them are old enough to enjoy it and partially understand it. Rotten2 loves the figure skating and Rotten1 is partial to any type of skiing, bobsledding, or whatever.
Curling rocks! *giggle* Get it? Curling rocks?
Sometimes I kill me.
I'm really enjoying the curling even though I still can't figure out some of their strategies.
I have to admit that I'm a little annoyed at Bob for being annoyed at NBC for running the Daytona 500. I mean, come on! It's the Dayfreakintona 500! We're not talking about something silly like the Superbowl here.
I've flipped back and forth between Canadian and US coverage and the Canadian coverage is far superior IMHO. I have noticed an awful lot of retired Canadian figure skaters doing comentary on NBC. What's up with that? Don't you Americans have your own retired skaters?
I love ice dance. I still miss Bourne and Kratz and Tracey Wilson and Rob McCall. I much prefer the ice dance and pairs to the single skaters.
Pizza for breakfast must be cold. Come to think of it, all leftover pizza must be cold.
lights funny.
I haven't been watching the Olympics. Oh, wait! We watched the 2-man bobsleigh or something. DS wanted to watch NASCAR, but his father and I overruled him.
Pancakes and fresh syrup are yummy. (That's 2 blogs with pancake references...)
Seana? Don't make me call 1-800-childabuse! Poor child. Next year he can come watch the race with us. *grin*
OMH! How much curling can they show? It seems like every time I turn on the tv, curling is on. Sheesh. It's actually very comical to be in another room and listening to the different variations of shouting during the curling games.
Oh yeah, *glares at Glowie for bypassing non-US stuff*
