English husband just saw me looking at the general election count and asked “Why is it still on?” I did not launch into an explanation of PR-STV transfers and I don’t think he’s giving me enough credit for that.

I'm convinced our election counting process is why nobody in Ireland has quite taken to the new, shorter voting in Eurovision.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

Go to a country for training where its own athletes are banned due to war, miss two years of doping tests, come back and get all your rotations forgiven. 🤷‍♀️

Rino Matsuike, I don’t know how I have never seen you skate before but I would gladly follow you into war. #FinlandiaTrophy

Aww, I am so happy for Niina!

The fire alarm goes off as Yuma gets his scores? Appropriate.

Save us Yuma, you’re only only hope

Oh for the love of jaysus… those mistakes from Kasuke… it’s such a gorgeous program when he doesn’t do that, and even when he does. But nineteen points behind Kevin on tech… yikes
November 16, 2024 at 12:24 PM
So either Kevin or Grassl will be on the podium, more than likely? Oy!

Axel Paulsen, meet me in the parking lot. But the quality of Sota’s skating is otherworldly. That change edge spread eagle is everything. #FinlandiaTrophy

Is it just me or is this Billy Elliot really slow?

As Oscar Wilde said, to miss one doping test may be a misfortune, to miss two looks like carelessness, to miss three looks mighty suspicious ⛸️

“Lay My Body Down” does not sound like a good piece of music for skating. Almost like tempting fate. And then Samoilov lands a 4lutz and makes a liar of me. Then doubles a sal. And pops an axel badly. Men, amirite? #FinlandiaTrophy

I'm finding the emerging term 'men' as a verb in the context of #figureSkating (usage example below) absolutely charming.

(translation: 'skated chaotically, mostly by falling on jumps, such that final results are a complete toss-up, irrespective of initial rankings')
