So when I said I was back to the old routine, I lied. I forgot that this was the week of the Brier - Canadian Men's curling championships for those that don't know. Now I'm a curling fan, but not as fanatical about it as I am figure skating. The sports network shows all of the draws, so 3 games a day. On most years I will watch a few during the week and then all the finals on the weekend. But this year they are being played in my time zone, so it's feasible to watch everything. Not that I usually would but......... they are being played about 100km away in Kamloops. Also about 5 years ago the Canadian Junior Championships were held in my town and there were 3 player from that year at this years Brier. I was fun to see them again.
So I had to do it. I went and watched a draw on Tuesday took hoards of pictures and got myself into a massive curling mood, and have been watching everything.
And then next week is spring break and my sister is talking about stealing me for a couple days and doing some sort of photographic road trip, which sounds like fun but has me a bit confused. We haven't gone on a vacation together since I was 11, we aren't exactly close, so I'm not sure why she's all gung ho about getting together. mid life crisis maybe? And the week after is the Women's Worlds Curling, and I'm hooked now, so watch it I will. And the next week is the World Figure Skating Championships. So I guess the old routine is gone for a while.
As for stitching, Cindy didn't get a lot of attention as I watch the curling upstairs with my parents. which means Lannister has been going very well
And what I watched, isn't much
Rise of the Guardians - That was awesome, how come I’ve never see it before.
West Wing S04 E09-10
Merlin S01E01 I’ve been trying to watch this for a couple years. But only manage the first few episode due to bad connections and spotty downloading. Now it has finally shown up on Netflix so I will get to watch it all
Curling, lots and lots of curling.
Curling is a sport which I never really got - but then, I'm not much of a sports watcher anyway. Nice to read you're having fun though, and Lannister is coming along nicely too. I still hope that sometime soon Cindy will get her well-deserved attention again ^.~
ReplyDeleteI don't follow the traditional sports much, but I can get into anything, (except American Football) I love all the trivia and statistics involved in sports. Poor Cindy keeps getting put aside because she's so big and unportable, the bookmarks are just so much easier to move from room to room, but I'll get back into movie mode soon.
DeleteRise of the Guardians is great. I saw it in theaters and loved it. I need to pick up the DVD.
ReplyDeleteAnd Merlin is a show I haven't watched yet. Want to - added it to my Netflix que but haven't gotten to it yet. :)
Netflix here is finally starting to get good stuff, which means I'm starting to get my money's worth out of it.
DeleteYeah. I still wish they had kept the dvd & stream option. Thomas & I went with streaming but there are still movies that I want to watch that are only on dvd. :( Redbox doesn't carry them since they're older and all the blockbusters are shut down. *sigh*
DeleteWe never had the DVD option in Canada, we got very good at illegally downloading things, as that was the only option. But when possible I like to own them, Walmarts bargain bins are not a safe place for me.
DeleteCurling............must watch curling.............
ReplyDeleteYes you must, Women's worlds start next Saturday.
