Thoughts Related to Figure Skating
Jun. 29th, 2010 04:05 am1. I keep my tinhat as shiny as the next person, but Naperville? Does in fact have more than one high school.
2. Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet >>>>>>>>>>>>> Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. I could deal with Adam Rippon skating to the latter, but to be so dismissive of Prokofiev is just not on.
3. I had a dream last night involving skaters and cannibalism. The cannibalism was totally out of nowhere! I can't remember much about the dream, but I think what happened was that I read a fic. And in the fic, Evan died and Johnny and some other people ate pieces of his flesh to honor his memory. Then I left gushing feedback because the fic was so great. (And here I'd thought that dream where I went skipping barefoot through the snow with Stephane and then his sister tried to smother me with her veil was unsettling.)
4. It seems to me that a lot of people don't want to accept just how fucked up the scoring in skating is and so find it easier to make up justifications for the results.
5. This event is so many kinds of wrong.
