Current Ear Worm: Russian National Anthem.

Posted by Mel Profit (aka mel profit) Apr 4 '16, 06:51

Diva and I went to the World Figure Skating Championships, as we've mentioned. We went Saturday to the Ladies Finals and some Russian girl won. She pretty much was the best thing on the ice to expert and layman alike. When she did all the jumping and twirling she had her hand over her head and not tucked into her body. This is technically superior and plain just looks cooler. She was ephemeral. It was fun to watch her on the ice and then off when she was clearly just a kid who had lived her dream.

Downside: I'm singing the Russian National Anthem. Question: It's the same song as the one used when they were dirty commies, right? Upside: I'm listening to SCONN sing it in my head.

Yup, same one. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 07:00
Post-skating shenanigans? -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 4, 06:58 4
- Not this time. We stayed for the medal ceremony to support Ashley Wagner and by the time we left the Suite and got out of the arena - Diva Apr 4, 07:12 3
  - Was the Russian far and away better than Wagner or does she have a chance to beat her at some point? -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 07:17 1
    - it's not that straightforward. Evgenia Medvedeva is 16 and Ashley is about 109 years older. -- (edited) - Diva Apr 4, 07:34
  - we could have talked our way on it. - Mel Profit Apr 4, 07:14
That is... not bad, comrade. You may keep your thumbs today. -- nm - Vitali Apr 4, 06:56 1
- Vitali should be moving his money someplace safe if he knows what's good for him -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 4, 06:58
Well I guess it's better than having Nikoli Volkoff singing it in your head -- nm - eag Apr 4, 06:54 1
- Thanks. I mean it. - Mel Profit Apr 4, 06:58
