I'm not much for sports in general but....

Was I the only one picturing Osaka figure skating with Yuki? (inside joke)

I have no TV so I am watching in snippets. I like the ice skating and skiing. The Americans are doing somewhat oddly this year, but barring a good competitor form the US, I root for Italy.

I'm having a good time watching it here and there. Man, how 'bout that Apolo Ohno? It's too bad he screwed up in that one race, but I can't help rooting for the guy because he's smokin' hot. :p (Please tell me he's at least 18 years old...I'm gonna feel like a sicko if he's like, 15 or something.)

Is it just me or are they showing the figure skating way too sporadically? I mean, I can't keep up because I never know when they're going to be showing it! I've only seen like, a few pairs and a couple of guys skate. It's frustrating -_-

I seem to only catch Curling...and even though it's a pretty slow sport, I still get excited over it. I don't even know how the rules go.

It gets a lot of airtime up here in Canada; the teams are big news.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.
