Men in sequins are too much fun

[dragojustine]

Everybody who talks to me regularly must hate me. Swear to god, pretty soon it won't be all figure skating all the time- I'll get over it. I always do.

Let's get the inevitable out of the way: My boy Johnny was robbed. Not of a medal, mind, because he clearly wasn't in the top three, but you'll have a hard pull ahead of you trying to convince me there's any justice in him coming in behind Patrick Chan. Inevitable part 2: NBC color commentators are best seen and not heard.

In the meantime, I have discovered the following things:
1. There is in in fact a ice_slash com. Of course there is. I won't be reading any, but it's good to know it's there, like confirming the world is still turning on its axis. (Their picspam tag did get me Lambiel nibbled by a llama, though. Good times.)
2. This picture sends me to my happy place.
3. Related to #2, it turns out that Johnny Weir can land a perfect throw triple. (And again. Though not so much with the death spiral.) I do not know why he has this skill, but I could not possibly be less surprised.
4. Related to #3, it turns out that there are Lambiel/Weir vids. Not just any vids- there are sappy OTP slide-show style badvids on YouTube set to Russian love songs. No joke. Sure enough: world turning on axis.
5. And here is Lambert/Weir. Let's just file it under "the laws of the universe dictate that this fic had to exist." I'm surprised it took so long, really. Oh look! There's the sun, rising in the East. (No really though- that's hot, and her voices are fun.)

I'll just be over here watching old Brian Boitano performances on YouTube until the high wears off.

happy skating.

[dragojustine]

Yeah, that's what I was on about back here. I, uh, may be re-reading large chunks of it now *g*

[princessofgeeks]

Did someone say Brian Boitano?

I... really should have anticipated this response, shouldn't I?

Johnny Weir makes my little heart fill with GLEE.

[dragojustine]

GLEE. Utter, wild, unreserved glee. I am so glad I'm not the only one.

1. Yay, ice slash comm! I've been looking for a curling slash comm, but no luck. (Canadian men's team!!!)

2. Humina! Two thumbs up!

And Johnny was robbed, no doubt. :-(

[dragojustine]

Oooh! I admit the little curling watching I've done was mostly still trying to understand the strategy- I hadn't spared any mental energy on that possibility. Hmm.

Yup. Robbed. They robbed our boy. *sigh*

omg, Johnny doing throw triple axles is AMAZING. like... please to be doing that big and in HD on my TV now, Johnny. and lol llama! and oooh! fic link! working ficlink!

Thank you!

[dragojustine]

I know! I think he must have been doing that in some exhibition or pro show somehwere or something... which is TRAGIC, because I only pay attention to Olympics, Nationals, and Worlds (and I tend to forget about Worlds). I just... if he has been doing this and I missed it? I might have to CRY.

Am glad you liked!
