ba, ba, ba baaa baaa baaaa baaaa
so, the girls who live here at 10 Buick st watched a lot of sports today. i figured i would blog about them, since suzy declared that somebody should.
1) BEANPOT: bu hockey becomes the champion of the beanpot tournament (aka the bu invitational) for the second year in a row, winning 27 out of 54 competitions. and we did it while playing bc, which makes it much more sweet. The bc goals were all kinda shitty, one knocked in by bu defense and the other sliding below curry's skinny little ass when he thought he had stopped it. bu of course had quality goals that demonstrated why they're on an 11 game winning streak. bu hockey roxors.
2) CURLING: dear god amighty, curling turned out to be a pretty interesting game. also, rife with sexual innuendos. yeah, you read that right. while we didn't (and still don't) understand why the scoring is so retarded, we appreciated the game (which was US v FINLAND) for its strategy, skill, and number of people who resembled conan o'brien. did you know that curling has been a US club sport since 1823? it originated in scotland or belgium or the netherlands, no one's really sure, and lavished in relative obscurity until it was instituted as an olympic sport in 1998. and then america said "whaaaa?" and changed the channel. but that's changing! the game we were watching was the first fully televised curling game (running a ridiculous 75 minutes). it was hilarity. moving on.
3) PAIRS SKATING: sooo pretty!! i love pairs, it's just so romantic and beautiful and the dresses are so cute! i always wanted to be an ice skater, but i can't really ice skate without falling on my ass, so that dream disappeared. so the russians were leading after the short skate, with 2 chinese teams coming in close. the americans were okay, but not great, and the germans were on the board. basically the same thing after the long skate. we learned all about the russians, and how the guy dropped the girl in 2004 and was still trying to forget it. it was emotional, we cheered for the russians and they scored first. then the pair of xhang and xhang (i messed up the spelling i'm sure, but they have the same name) came on and they were beautiful.. and then the girl didn't complete her rotations on a thrown double or whatever and she fell. painfully. on her knee. it was horrific. we were stunned, speculating about the pain and agony she must be feeling (because it was alll over her face). and then she was like "no, we're totally finishing this damn thing" and we were like "no waiiii!". but they did and it was near flawless, and they got the silver. which was awesome. i almost cried a little. beth and suzy of course were bawling like little babies on the floor, but that's to be expected. overall, it was beautiful and wonderful and i love ice skating. takes me back to my childhood of nancy kerrigan and tanya harding... ::sigh::
that's a lot of damn competition for one night. and considering we also caught "24", mighty impressive tv watching. yeah, we can couch potato with the best of them...
only a few more days until spring training wheee!

I'VE LIVED WITH YOU FOR HOW LONG AND YOU'RE MISSPELLING MY NAME, WOMAN?
And Beth and I did not cry. It just got a LITTLE dusty in the living room, if you know what I'm saying.
