April 21, 2009 12-8pm - Free Cone Day @ Ben & Jerry's
April 29, 2009 5-10pm - 31 Cent Scoop Night @ Baskin Robbins
I dunno if I'll actually do this. I've done it in the past, and I remember each time I did it, I came to the conclusion that it was not worth it to stand in the line forever just to get a scoop of ice cream.
*edit one more!

YUM!

Yay! Caroline Zhang got 4th place. Pewter! Time for Caroline quotes!
From this article:
""I was watching the whole thing backstage and really didn't expect to finish any higher than sixth – so I'm totally thrilled,"
"It's really exciting! I didn't know that until now," Zhang said about being the top American finisher. "I guess I just wish that I did better at nationals so that I would have the opportunity to compete (at Worlds)."

I'm glad she was happy with her results. I too wish she had done better at Nationals, so she could participate at Worlds (well, at least she gets to participate at Junior Worlds) Required Elements pointed out that the 2 girls that are repping the US at Worlds, Flatt & Czisny were 7th & 9th respectively. Combined ranking: 7+9 = 16th. At Worlds, these 2 need to get a combined ranking <= 13 in order for the US to secure 3 spots for the ladies at the Olympics next year. So things are looking kind of bleak considering there will be even more skaters at Worlds.
( um just 2 vids from the 4cc )
um yeah. so after miss caroline zhang's free skate, people threw stuff onto the ice, and apparently one jokester decided to throw down a rubber chicken?
( why did caroline and the chicken cross the road? )
I love google alerts. It's like, news for lazy people with narrow interests. I was delighted to see my own lj in a google alert. Especially since google alert was the one that alerted me to the Caroline Zhang news in the first place. It's like an alert cycle. One of these days, I'm gonna make a post using all my google alert keywords, and I'm gonna see if my lj pops up in every single one of my alerts. That'd be fun.
Excerpt from this article:
Caroline Zhang of Brea, who was third at the U.S. championships and missed making the world team by one place, had the best result on a mediocre night for the U.S. women. Her triple flip-triple toe loop was downgraded but her routine was otherwise clean, leaving her with 58.16 points and in fifth.
...
Zhang said she was disappointed with her performance to "La Bayadere" because it was the only time this week that she didn't do a clean triple flip-triple toe loop combination jump. She under rotated the second part and earned 58.16 points.
"It had to be here," she said ruefully. "I'm hoping to correct it in my long program and skater better.
"I didn't have much expression after the flip-toe and I was distracted. I was just thinking, 'I can't believe I messed up on that.' "

:( She seems to always look superdisappointed when her scores pop up. At least she was the best American. Too bad she's not going to Worlds. Czisny & Robot better not fuck it up for team USA and screw everyone over for next year.
Also, I found CBC.ca was streaming Four Continents online, so I had the Ladies SP on in the background while I was surfin, and I totally caught that one girl used Madonna's Like a Prayer as her musical selection even though it was some sort of orchestra/strings version.

damn you, nintendo, for coming out with the wii and making it virtually impossible for me to find items for my gamecube. i shouldve gotten a ps2.
Mmmm. I would love to go on a chocolate feeding frenzy. Props to Selena Gomez for being willing to drown herself in chocolate. Or at least fake chocolate. Messy but tasty.

So, I was going to boycott this season because Kelli Baker didn't make it. But yeah, like that was going to happen. Anyways, even though this wasn't my favorite season (I think that would be season 2 for me), I still enjoyed it for the most part, and it had some memorable performances.
( ah-maaay-zing )

I just finished watching Act 1 + 2 of Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and I'm so sad there's only one act left. And that I have to wait till Saturday to watch it. It's so good. And funny. I love anything Joss writes. Neil Patrick Harris is so cute in it. Nathan Fillion is, well, Nathan Fillion. Nuff said. Go watch it! You only have until Sunday!

Jessica King from season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance and Haylie Duff. Eh? Eh? See it? I think having 3 of these types of posts means it's time for me to come up with a tag.
