It was this off-tempo trash with like a chorus of chicks trying to do backup vocals/choruses.
It was fucking horrible. It was so horrible that I changed the channel.
Some pair danced to Swan Lake. They didn't fuck it up and used the symphonic version. Real pretty. I seem to remember they used it some Dracula movie.
I've mostly managed to avoid the skating (except speed skating which I enjoy),
I used to not hate it, but I really don't care for it these days. It's too technical and you end up with winners based on chance. It ha become more technical than I enjoy.
Fortunately, I can stream anything the TV doesn't get.
Last night's ladies figure skating was great live - even though it had happened hours before - TV. The Russian girl that took the gold didn't know how to act because the 15-yr-old (Vilaneva) was caught using some shit called trimetazidine and they trained together and were like buddies. Same with the other Russian girl that got silver.
It was really compelling stuff to watch. She was gonna make some kinda "fuck you Chinks" statement at the medal ceremony but the Chinese said, you better not act like niggers and do any political grandstanding before the games.
It was cool to watch. I felt sorry for Vilaneva. She got fucked by her coaches.
LoL
That must have been real bad
I didn't actually want to watch the skating anyhow. Oddly, it used to kinda amuse me, but not lately. Everything is just so technical now. Our understanding of human physiology has advanced and with it so has sports medicine. Humans are now doing things they'd only dreamed of years ago. Where one might spin twice, they're now spinning four or even six times. In sports like snowboarding or skiing, some of them have been winning since they were like 13 and only had a few years to get good - they do things like practice on top of giant airbags.
I dunno... I think I'd like to see an Olympics where humans were encouraged to augment their bodies with drugs and mechanics, like roid-raging cyborgs....
It'd not be that much of a change from today.
I think they are all doping already
