This is just a bad week
One pairs short program. That's all I've managed to watch. One.
Got in a little before nine last night and was promptly hit by a headache. Napped it off until midnight and turned on my laptop, waited for the IceNetwork stream...only to hear, when the compulsory was nearly halfway done, that they couldn't stream it because the Japanese weren't recording it, and of course IceNetwork doesn't have its own cameras abroad. There is no excuse for IceNetwork ever claiming they were going to stream it; there's no way they wouldn't know they couldn't. I'm tempted to write a very strongly worded email.
Not that it would have made much difference in the end tonight. Even when the stream came on for the pairs short, nothing but frozen image. Every ten minutes or so, the stream would try to unfreeze, and spend half a minute with the image not changing and the sound going to hell. I haven't seen it this bad for this long since last year. Right after Rena and John skated, someone linked to a justin.tv stream in which I was able to watch Ksenia Krasilnikova & Konstantin Bezmaternikh ripoff Totmianmina and Marainin's Liberstraum, but it broke just after they got their scores.
I went back to sleep, turned on the stream with the ladies beginning thinking it had to have changed by now, but nope. Meanwhile, though I had avoided thinking about the men having just skated at first, I saw a post mentioning Johnny, and I broke. I had to know. And now I'm not feeling much better, because not being able to break 80 with a clean program, Jeremy five points ahead of him? He'll have no confidence left now.
I see Sarah Meier just finished skating. New costume for the samba, too. I think she should have kept the old one.
