femmealunettes: (drinking on top of the world : Nate)
So just about the only sport I actually enjoy watching is curling, and because I live in the United States, all the coverage is of the USA teams...

...so I've seen my country get completely spanked in every single game they've played so far. Watching the ladies' game against Canada this afternoon was physically painful to watch, they gave it up after being five points down on the seventh end. I watched Great Britain hand the boys their asses while having Chinese food with my dad just now. I'd rather be watching the Canadian teams, they're both undefeated as far as I'm aware.

It's all Canada's fault that I like curling anyway. We used to get a Montreal station when we lived in Plattsburgh. I spent many a Sunday afternoon on the couch watching people screeching "Sweeeeeeep!" at each other. Good times, good times.

I've had a raging headache all day long, and I was going to go soak it out in the tub except Rachael called dibs on the bathroom. Lame. She got into a screaming fight with Julia today when Julia said something to the effect of Rachael's boyfriend is going to die because he's Marine infantry. Rachael punched a wall and either sprained or broke something in her wrist. I wish Julia wouldn't be so callous, it would take no effort on her part to NOT say things like that.

My mother will be home in an hour. :D I've missed her so much. She went shell collecting while she was on the beach, and she said she'd let me have my pick of the lot. Yay, shells. Not as good as being on the beach myself, but any little thing will make me happier. What I would give to actually hit a sunny warm beach right about now... I am so tired of winter already.

Curling is deceptively difficult to play.

Oh, I'm under no illusions that I could do it myself. Those stones weigh half as much as my little sister, and my aim is best described as "what aim?" Still, I think it would be fun to at least try it at some point in my life. Do they have... curling alleys, or something like that?

No, I'm just saying from experience - it's deceptively difficult. I've played it once (in a curling alley, yes) and I was SO SORE the next day. It uses muscles you didn't even know you had. And actually, it was kind of fun.

See, I would much rather go to a curling alley than a bowling alley! It looks like it would be a good time. :D

Re: yes, we suck, but
I have to say, the best part of the match against Great Britain was ogling David Murdoch. Now that's a yummy-looking skip.

Ooh, yeah. I also think Jason Smith is pretty adorkable.

He reminds me of an exchange student from Germany I went to high school with. xD

*massages your temples* The only sport I've ever really watched in figure skating and swimming. Swimmers are pretty inherently hot. :)

I haven't caught any of the figure skating this time around. I figure, if something really remarkable happens, someone on my flist (probably [livejournal.com profile] maggiesox) will say something and I can find it on the google machine.

Mmmmm, swimmers. :D

According to your icons, you've got glasses and red hair - that's pretty hot to me. :)

GB team yay!
*cough*
Sorry, it's unusual for us to hear about one of our teams winning at anything XD
