Olympics

As someone with very little interest in sports I don't watch the Olympics--but I incidentally watch them, because Fernando does. (Or I sit in my room reading, and he brings me updates about all the interesting stuff.) One year I somehow found myself watching pairs skating the year of the famous Salé and Pelletier scandal! Ooh.

So far I've enjoyed...

* All the crazy accidents on the women's downhill skiing.

* The turtle-thunderbird helmet. Fernando was watching skeleton racing, and we both kept trying to see the helmet cause it's so beautiful, and immediately identifiable as a West Coast aboriginal design. It was designed by Tsimshian-Cree artist Phil Gray, though it was Montgomery's idea to add the turtle (it's hard to see the thunderbirds, they're on the sides.
