Brief update: It stopped snowing, finally. The city's still not really back to normal though. Also, after being cooped up with sick people for a week, I ended up with the flu and had to take an extra day off work. It's been a busy week and I'm beat!

Random question: Why does are all the figure skaters skating to Scheherazade? Don't get me wrong, I like the piece, but it's kind of repetitive—I heard it twice during pairs, and again now during men's. I don't know what the rules are about music, but everyone using the same classical repertoire is boring. It's an interesting contrast to the women's halfpipe competition, which was on just before this, where you could here the Black Eyed Peas playing in the background. (Fewer sequins in halfpipe too... but jumps and spins in both.)

New geek project: d4ni and I were texting last weekend and we decided to start a book club with chuunthor to re-read The Courtship of Princess Leia, our favorite Star Wars book. And blog about it. It's going to be awesome.

The figure skating always makes me laugh. Some of those outfits this year...

Ooo, have fun with the book club! I want to join a book club. One of these days...

The outfits can get pretty crazy! Also, I watched ice dancing last night, and they all had to do exactly the same routine to the same music. That got boring real quick, cause I can't really tell the subtle differences in skill, so it just looked the same.

The book club is mostly for a laugh (we are reading a Star Wars book, after all) but it should be fun. :)
