Skating bears, pretty flowers, and hot cowboys...sounds like a party at RedNic's

Well, I've got a lovely bruised right hand today, thanks to a monster fall at broomball last night. At least we won the game.

Super Sarah and I saw Brokeback Mountain last night. It was excellent. I managed to not cry, but Super Sarah teared up twice. It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

After the movie, we watched the Prettiest Little Flower in the pond. He's quite possibly the most fun figure skater ever. Anyone who is attempting to buck the "US Figure Skating Establishment" should get a prize. And, he had a really fun swan costume on last night.

So I was watching the US Men's hockey team play Latvia this afternoon. I've decided this is my favorite part of being unemployed. I can watch Olympic hockey games live. The World Cup of hockey is being held in Latvia next year, and my commentator friends at USA tell me that the opening ceremonies will include skating bears. I like a good bear as much as the next person, but won't somebody please think of the bears?. Skating bears...what will they think of next?

I'm headed over to Natpot's for dinner tonight. Katie (the new roommate, who unfortunately doesn't yet have a blog handle) is cooking. I'm pretty excited. Details tomorrow. Now I've got to get moving...
