Anyone around? This is starting now.

The Short Dance it's abt to start! First group on the ice!! 

Ready for Latino and neon dresses??

Oh noes. I was hoping the hurts-my-eyes costumes would be restricted to the Juniors. But, nope. Ouch. That red/pink/fluorescent <--- neon? does not work well on telly.

Just in case we didn't know what they're skating to... It's a cha cha cha cha cha cha.

Dare I say it... I liked it (especially the whistling stuff at the end). 

But I really didn't like this kind of music until a few months ago, so I made sure to watch all the Juniors Ice Dance programs and brainwash myself into enjoying it. I'm so used to it now! 

The lift was nice, tho ...

Are we really the only two here watching? lolz

everybody else is still hooked up with the men's SP and Kuyashi!Yuzu ... lol

Sorry - had trouble with Eurosport- got it now

Yeah, figured that... well, I'm done with that. He can be kuyashii all he wants, he'll just blown everybody away tomorrow.

I'll worry about it again when I translate the Eurosport commentary, not before ;-)
