Not Kao's day, I guess. It was going so well

Amen! Also, Deniss' costume suits him so well. Yuma just skated a literally perfect skate. 106. Wow

Camden being Camden again.... 😔

I used a flag for Roman though. Used the heart for Jason. Oh my God. What the H**l happened with Boyang? He was landing those jumps in warm up, he looked good, and then... 🤯😱😭 Having his and Jason's programs back-to-back was the literal agony and ecstasy of figure skating. Cripes. I nearly cried. It's much much worse watching that 💩 go down in person.

I did! Purple heart emoji!

Aleks Selevko has performance quality with a capital 'P'... just incredible to watch

Litvininsev's bright orange animal print shirt is even more so IRL! Looks like I'm sitting on Boyang's jump corner!

Yeah so Roman NAILED IT!!!! 84 pts!

Maurizio Zandron really bringing the glam and the glitter! What a costume!

Georgii Reshtenko has lovely quality of movement! Lots of potential here.

Donovan SERVED! And did his 4S right in front of me.... I was on the edge of my seat. 80.19 pts Roman is still a ways away... 40 skaters in this event! So far, the men have been setting a pretty high bar - varying tech levels, but everyone going clean except for a pop or two

Donovan is SO SPARKLY today! This yellow and green costume... wow!

TXT has officially made the ISU playlist. Magic was the first song I heard in the arena today. The pub where I stopped for breakfast was also playing Closer Than This over the loudspeakers

Kaori had a weird little slip in her step seq and an iffy 3Lz landing. She just seemed a little off. So whoever is DJ-ing the arena music today just played Blinding Lights during the judge/tech panel intro - and cut it off as soon as the intro ended. It's *very* hard for me as a fanyu not to read too much into that 🤣

So I just discovered that the ISU's YouTube feed for Worlds is geo-blocked in Canada. Presumably that means it'll be broadcast on CBC, but for anyone setting a VPN to watch, don't use Canada Also, what was the pairs short result?

Probably have to keep the kitchen ceiling clean of grease for fire prevention or something... I haven't seen anything but rumours for what Jimin is up to

Seventeen actually came through Canada on their last tour, so they definitely did well enough to make it worth their while again. Enlistment news:

My S.I.L' s aunt is the VP of one of the big concert promoters/productions corps based in NYC ( and no, she won't tell me which one). Through that connection, I have learned that it's basically a money-losing venture for most big international acts to come to Canada, except for Toronto...and she (the aunt), although she's from Ottawa, will avoid booking acts here because she knows she won't be able to sell out the show. Kinda sucks.

No... they could be playing Tuktoyaktuk... ( and good Lord, that would be funny!!)

I hope they do! And I hope S. Coups' knee heals up well enough for him to enjoy the tour

On that note, I've been spending today checking out concert dates for the summer. Nothing listed for TXT in North America yet, but ENHYPEN looks like they'll be retracing Suga's route across the US - and skipping Canada of course - but none of the dates work for me. Plus, I'm not into them deeply enough to spend that kind of money on them And rumour has it that Seventeen will be touring in the late summer, starting with a show in Vancouver on Aug 10

The only thing that could ever make do that is Canada making it to the final, which will never happen. But I'd watch a BTS opening ceremony for sure.

Someone couldn't resist the opportunity for a joke... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4hy3fbPO3U/?igsh=bTFkbnJ5bHhyenN0

Tae posted on his Insta that they filmed at his house, and Wooshik even borrowed his clothes.

Lesserafim were so cute reacting. Especially when Tae dies twice!
