Ice Dancing??? WTF??
Okay, I've gotta admit it, I'm not much of a girly-girl when it comes to the Olympics...I'd much prefer seeing 'boarders on the halfpipe and skiiers jumping waaaaay higher than nature ever envisoned.
So I'm watching tonight (sorta, I was also working), and while I'm thrilled that one of our pairs placed so high, I'm kinda befuddled as to the whole concept. Apparently this sport (my husband insists loudly and often that it's not a sport) has been around for a good long time, but for the life of me, this is the first time I ever remember seeing it. It's pretty and all, and I'm sure takes an enormous amount of talent, but I'm just not "getting it" as an Olympic sport.
Sigh. Maybe I wouldn't be so cranky if the US had been able to put the puck in the freakin' net more than once today.
