Jimmy Fallon > Jay Leno

This my favorite clip from the show so far. No introduction needed.  Just watch.

I LOVE ICE DANCING

I have watched every - literally E.V.E.R.Y. - figure skating event at the Sochi Olympics to this point. (#3LOL.) I've always loved figure skating (watching, not doing because balance), so this is not surprising for my life. What is surprising is that I had no idea ice dancing was even a thing. I'm not sure how I missed ice dancing in every previous Olympics (I will venture a guess here - Dad was controlling the remote), but it is now my favorite of the figure skating events. It's so beautiful to watch; I'm completely memorized. The Russian team's free skate first captured my attention (I was riveted), but I know one of the biggest reasons I got into ice dancing was because of American duo Charlie White and Meryl Davis. They are absolutely phenomenal and were highly competitive for the gold. The Olympics is always improved when there's a chance the US will take gold. Well, two days ago, Charlie and Meryl won! They're the first American team to win gold in ice dancing EVER!! While they were performing their last skate, Caitlin texted me, "I just cried a little bit whilst watching ice dancing. It is just so lovely and I'm so happy." Exactly.

This is the free skate that converted me to ice dancing. It's still my favorite (after Charlie and Meryl, of course):


AMERICAN GOLD MEDALISTS Charlie White and Meryl Davis:


Canadians Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, who won the gold in 2010, took silver in this olympics. I think Tessa is beautiful, and - did you catch her name - TESSA VIRTUE?? If that's not an awesome name, I don't know what is. Also, if this was the 1940s, she would be in movies (seriously, with that face and that name, classic Hollywood wouldn't be able to resist her), and each film would include a long ice dancing sequence...:

 *The actual Olympic performances don't seem to be on youtube, so the videos I posted are not from the Olympics, but the skaters are performing the same routines. Maybe, by the time you get home, the real videos will be up, and we can watch those instead. It'll be worth it. I promise.

 

Alex Boye Frozen Cover

Okay, you haven't seen Frozen yet, but I have no doubt that will be remedied immediately upon your return.  I know you've at least heard about it because, well, I've discussed it at length in my emails to you....

I know I've also mentioned the breakout hit from the movie, Let It Go.  Here's the original version as sung by Idina Menzel:


Phenomenal, right?  I'm sure you're like, "This song is really cool, and I'm just wondering...how did it get to be so cool?"  That's the normal reaction.

Of course there have already been a million covers of the song.  I normally ignore covers because I do not care to hear other people attempt something that was awesome just as it was, however, I saw that Alex Boye did a cover, and I thought, "Okay, Alex, I'm trusting you on this one."  Um, Hannah, check it:


1)  Alex Boye.  Always awesome.
2)  THAT IS A CHILD.
3) I don't have a three because there's no need for a three.  It's just that good.

Unrelated to Frozen, but another song that I've been obsessed with and I think you will LOVE as well:
 

Cow Farts Can Be Dangerous

Hi ho. Me again, posting more fart humor. (Seriously when did my sense of humor regress to that of a 12-year-old boy's??)

This is a real thing that happened.

 (Can you blame me for the post?)

 

Olympic Curling

Happy Valentine's Day! I am sitting by myself on my bed in my underwear eating chocolates from mom and dad at one in the afternoon. So clearly I am celebrating right. Anywee, I am loving the olympics this year. Maybe it's because I haven't watched them in so long, but I am obsessed. I always used to hate curling though. I thought it was just an excuse for fat people to get into the Olympics. But after watching it this year it is my new favorite! Here is a clip from the USA Women's team so you can see why I love it so much.

A Po Po

I'm not sure if this is that funny, but I haven't posted on here in forever and I want you to know that I at least tried. So here is a 5 year old Chinese (or maybe Korean?) kid singing with some amazing shoulder shrugs.
