Olympic results within a certain time frame are SPOILERS, right? Considering that people cut for the titles of tv shows, I think so. Am I insane here?

We had another nine inches or so of snow yesterday/last night. I think we're almost all ready to move back to Florida. Climate change is a drag.

Something on my mind during these days of weather-related inactivity: I've read some of the Twilight books, and I think maybe they should have cast Edward in the movies with an actor who was actually good looking. Isn't the "plot" of the books that this dude is like the hottest guy who ever lived/was undead? Because RPatz is not that guy. He's comical, I'll grant that, but he's also funny looking. Oh well, what do I know about vampires anyway?

Smallville isn't on the early pickup list. This irks me since I really do believe that now that I honestly like the show for itself and not as something I do to myself even though I know I should quit it will get shit-canned. I have to assume, too, that with all the copyright battles with DC properties there won't be a spin-off Ollie and Chloe show. GODDAMN IT!

Curling is on today. This is one of the few events I actually watch and it always makes me wonder if they actually curl anywhere besides Canada and Scotland (even there?). I mean, do they have special curling centers where they train curlers for the Olympics (and are these all manned by Canadians)? For example: there's a match on right now between the US and Germany--I have never known an American who curled, where do they curl in the States, Minnesota or one of those upper-Midwest states? Perplexing, like subatomic irrationality.

I haven't ever known anyone who was a bi-athlete with, now that I think about that. There are tons of weird sports--but I *know* they *do* have special training centers for that stuff. They have federations that recruit people from more common sports (normal sports? has the word normal been banished to the rubbish heap of PC-nonconformity?).

How do I apply to get trained to curl for America?

How are we going to celebrate the sixth season of Winchesters?

eta: I was being silly w/ the curling thing. I know that somewhere in America there are people who do just about anything since there are like 1 billion Americans--including (but not limited to) planting entire gardens of chili peppers just because their exes are allergic to capsaicin, collecting buttons, yodeling in Latin, or owning a pet walrus. Curling is just more common in Canada, that's all.

And I will bring you this, from the comments on a post about the CW shows that have been renewed:

Smallville deserves a 10th and final season MARKETED as the final season from the get go. The show has earned that much from that f****** no good excuse for a network. Smallville and Supernatural are the only shows worth watching on that network since Gilmore went off the air. CW better get ready for RIOTS if Smallville doesn’t get it’s final season. Cause I honestly think the fans of that show will riot their offices. God, this pisses me off. Ten years later and Smallville fans still bring the drama. RIOTS!
