redfiona99Lots of other things too, but mostly I'm enjoying being home and being able to watch the ski-jumping and the skiing and everything else.
They've decided to put photos of the participants next to their names when they stick them up. As per usual, they're terrible photos, particularly for the ski-jumpers. The ones where they don't look 15, make them look like mugshots, which is particularly bizarre as the mugshottier ones belong to some of the nicest guys on the tour. Dmitri Vassiliev's is particularly bad, which is odd because he's one of the better looking jumpers on the tour.
I found out that Janne Ahonen has retired which makes me sad, because, despite him regularly beating Austrians, he was brilliant and I'm fond of him. He's also the guy in the icon.
It has also lead to me finding out about an excessively attractive Südtirolese skiier (http://www.patrickthaler.com/). Shame he officially counts as Italian.
Ivica Kostelic won, and then they said that it was his first win in 5 years, which, well it has to be true, but I can barely believe it.
Other than that, I caught the end of Afterburn, which featured Jeff pwning Edge (and me cheering for him - I feel strange and unusual) and the usual Smackdown hijinks. Where is the Maryse/Michelle McCool femme-slash?
Then I caught ECW, and well, I was deeply amused by the Kofi Kingston, CM Punk and Ricky Ortiz and Tiffany/Eve/whichever one she is's present. CM Punk does a good impression of that friend of yours who regularly mocks you and yet you still like.
I have no words for the awesome that regularly is the Miz and Morrison. I <3 them and their heelish, cheating ways.
I liked Hornswaggle taunting Striker and someday someone will explain why WWE keeping having their evil monster heels reading poetry at us (although it did lead to Tony Atlas in raindeer antlers and nose).
In short, I enjoyed myself immensely.
