i have it on now. i'm with you on the ice skating, i can't wait for tomorrow night.
i watch as much as i can, both my husband and i like the curling. the only time we get to see it is during the olympics.
saw the beginning of the opening ceremonies last night but i think the snow had an effect on the tv station. we lost the signal, so i finally turned it off and went to bed.

I have been watching a lot. saw the whole ceramony. it was good...most of it...but went on forever.


wayne lighting the torch outside was great. In true canadian fashion taken there in the back of an RCMP truck LOL. too bad the torch in the stadium didn't all come out.


Big protests there today. some legidamate others rediculous. One group of 20 were in ski masks and scarves to hide the face. Another group got an office off to thew side and beat him badly. So many nutso people. they cop was half draged away to help.


Sad about the luge kid that was killed. Didin't even make it to the games...just the practice. 21 years old from georga (the country.). so sad. then they modified the course for the races.


Grant can't wait for the hockey. Not sure what i will watch yet. I used to curl so maybe that.

We are not watching it at all this time. Not sure why. Just not interested, I guess. Yikes, I feel guilty just saying that.


I feel SO BAD for the Luge kid that was killed. How horrible for his parents and family. That's the last thing you'd think would happen when you are lucky enough to be a part of the Olympics.

It is sad cissy


sadly some countries are now playing the blame game. Track to fast...ect. Well it is this stupid thing all countried do ...you know bigger better faster. Som,etimes it is just not worth it.


ya i have't watchjed much either. being a Canadian kid you are forced in school to do all the winter sports(well most), like it or not. I had SDUPER compeditive parents that were good at sports. not me sadly. I swam and played instuments ect. Now i do crafts, rv and build stuff. not in the olympics LOL Grew to hate a lot of sports.


I will watch canadian football, gymnastics...ect. the summer stuff. Well i do peek in on olympics though. Until winter olympics have ice fishing and skiidooing i am out LMBO!

We're watching the Olympics! We watched all of the Opening Ceremonies and thought it was very good! We especially enjoyed the amazing special lighting effects! It was a beautiful show of Canadian patriotism as well as general entertainment. Good job Vancouver!!!
