Beware: I'm about to talk about skating!
Feb. 17th, 2003 07:11 pmI wonder how many of these entries start with me lamenting how little computer time I get? It's been ages since I've posted anything. I haven't been getting much sleep lately, so I'm very tired and cannot think. Consequently, this is going to be a completely nonsensisical entry.
Can anybody think of a quick way to come up with sixty bucks? For the first time ever, Stars On Ice is making a stop in my hometown. Also, this is the the first year that Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze have been part of the cast. Needless to say, I'm DYING to go. I'm pretty sure that everyone knows of my complete and utter love for their skating. I love to watch them skate more than I love to read Harry Potter, if THAT is any indication of how much I adore them! I have tapes full of skating, and most of the time I just fast forward through everything else until I get to their performance, which I watch, and then rewind, then watch again, and so on and so forth, just to wrap my brain around the dizzyingly perfect beauty that is them. Nearly every time I watch their "City Lights" program it makes me cry because it's so beautiful. So, for me, seeing them in person would be something akin to...well...I can't really think of anything that would even compare to it!
BUT...tickets for Stars On Ice are insanely expensive. Rightfully so, I mean, these are some of the best skaters in the world; but for me, if I want to see it at all I'll probably have to go alone, and I'll probably be way in the back, and they'll probably look like little black dots on the ice, and I won't even be able to see what's going on. BUT...do I care? I mean, this IS Elena and Anton we're talking about. Of course, they will be doing that silly Elvis/Marilyn program which I think is so far beneath them. BUT...once again, we ARE talking about Elena and Anton here, so, do I care?
Yes, right now, this is the thing that is completely consuming my attention. I realize that are many other things I should be thinking about and doing, but really this is what's most important to me at the moment. At least I have my priorities sorted out, right? ;-D
Am being called away. Arg. Will talk about important things later.
