bearshortyBelarus lost to Switzerland in a shootout in hockey today. Ugh. Well, they put up a great fight. And Switzerland will now have to play US on Wednesday and they have no chance. Still, a bit sad. Hopefully, Belarus will do better with aerials where they generally rock.
Women’s figure skating short:
I really enjoyed Kim’s James Bond performance. It was sassy. She is also very graceful.
I so like men’s figure skating much more. But it was nice to watch.
I finished “Superfreakonomics.” I could have read that book in one day but I just stalled a bit. Good chapter on global warming and moneys with money. It is definitely the most intelligent discussion on global warming I’ve read and that offers concrete solutions. The authors lean toward geo-engineering. And the experiment of when monkeys were trained to use money and were found to be no different than humans in their money use was just plain fun. And monkeys also used that money for prostitution. Overall, good book, but the first one was better. A lot of ideas in this book seem too obvious.
I tried “Middleman.” Some very cheesy fun moments in the pilot episode but I don’t know if that can sustain me for a whole season. I will give it another episode. That kind of style doesn’t usually work for me, though. I couldn’t watch “Pushing Daisies” or “Dead like Me” and this has a similar vibe.
