Mar. 24th, 2013 07:55 amTeam Homan finished with at least some sort of medal, their very first time making it to the World Championship. Very well done, young ladies!

Feb. 19th, 2013 03:21 pmLive curling streaming on TSN.ca - lets me keep one ear and half-an-eye on the daylight games while I'm stuck in the office! (Nice smooth connection here at work, too!)
why I love curling, Reason #14
Feb. 13th, 2012 11:03 amThere is a half-time break in curling, as I understand there is in football. Y'know what happens at half-time, even during the World Championship game?
The team sits on the floor in a circle and has juice-boxes and snacks.

Mar. 28th, 2011 05:44 amTeam Canada made it to the final, even if they didn't win it all. Silver medals are nothing to be ashamed of!
a thought on The Scotties
Feb. 28th, 2011 11:50 amBy which I mean last night's Canadian women's curling championship:
I honestly couldn't decide whether I was rooting for Jennifer Jones, because her team has been “my team” since I first started watching (not all that long ago) ... or if I wanted her to get her comeuppance, because of the shoddy way she treated Cathy O last year. [Sharon had already voted for comeuppance.]
My ambivalence notwithstanding, comeuppance is what happened.

Feb. 28th, 2011 06:21 amI watched the women's curling final last night instead of the Oscars. What can I tell ya.

Mar. 23rd, 2010 12:42 pmWomen's curling is on this week! “World Cup”, no less! (Since the Winter Olympics finished I've been kinda jonesin for some women's curling...)
The fact that Canada is currently leading is merely a bonus. :P
PS: gotta love Team Norway's Twister pants!

... there was a game??
Jan. 5th, 2006 06:30 amI don't check LJ every morning, but this morning I did... and I see that the first yay-many posts by my Friends are all empassioned outbursts concerning a college football title. The depth of feeling and introspection and social commentary in these posts is of an incisive intensity I don't always see here.
I had no idea this game was being played, let alone who won. I didn't know that any of the games leading up to it happened, either. And now that I've been informed of this event, I'm moved by the responses of my Friends, but the event itself still means nothing to me.
I can't remember the last time I felt so much like an alien.
