Day 3

Lysacek -USA- just beat the only true villain of the winter olympics, Evgeni Plushenko -Russia- in mens figure skating! and so we see that the major victories of life go on with or without facebook. I have never been so happy to see someone land a triple toe loop back glide sow cow thing in my life. I don't know if its the abnormally large nose, the predictable black sequined unitard with silk gloves, or just the memory of his highly suspicious smirk at the last olympic games, but i was so satisfied to see his reign come to an end in the second great cold war - this time fought on skates.
Add to the list of major USA victories - Shaun White, by far the most charming representative of my nation this year in his landslide victory in the half pipe yesterday! seriously, that guy IS the american dream... Or at least he's a dream boat.... nothing beats his incredible lions mane, or his funny interviews, or perhaps, most importantly, nobody beats his 25 feet of air ripping off the pipe or his moves that are completely insane.
Also worthy of note, the snowboardin chick who also snagged gold, and who's also a mormon. well done lindsey!
yes represent team USA!
