Perhaps in honor of this august event, tonight at 8:00 p.m in the midwest ABC is showing "Blades of Glory."  If you can get past the initial gag factor of this movie, it's very very funny and, truth be told, probably cuts close to the bone in some depictions :)  Join me tonight in watching this er, film epic.  Okay, I admit to having an incredibly juvenile sense of humor because I think the scenes where the female figureskater's head was chopped off by her partner's blade is too funny for words - secret film from North Korea, no less.  Gotta watch the movie to know what I'm talking about...

Enjoy it all and have a good laugh.  It's a way to make the long cold, dark winter here pass a little faster :)
