Just finished watching S4 of Six Feet Under. Holy... You can get away with alot more on HBO than you can on regular networks.

I wonder if Joss liked this show? The season-long (sometimes multi-season) arcs and offbeat humour seem like they'd appeal to him.

Now I just gotta wait until S5 comes out. ::chews nails::

The Canadian Figure Skating Championships begin today. Starting this evening, I'll be at the rink for the rest of the week. Which won't do much for the cold I'm nursing, but will still be fun. I won't be around much until next Monday, though I'll probably post a couple of reports for anyone who's interested. "Anyone" being romanyg and probably no one else. :-)

I don't know her, but I discovered fs_watchers not long ago - I think she was one of the founders.

As predicted, that cold rink air last night did nothing good for my cold/sore throat. ::coughs, hacks:: Which isn't going to stop me going back today, of course. :-)

Hi, I just joined this community and am looking to 'make online friends' with other adult figure skaters. I'm 23, you are? If you have any info. about the Canadian Championships, specifically where I might catch them on the T.V. plese let me know. How long have you been skating for? What age did you start at? Do you take lessons?

Hi back! I'm old. :-) 42, to be exact. I skated occasionally as a kid and started taking lessons just after the Lillehammar Olympics. Due to illness, I haven't taken lessons or been on the ice much in the past few years. :-( I still like to watch competitions, though.

I believe CTV is broadcasting Canadians, which means it'll be on CTV and TSN. You can see the schedule here (http://www.skatecanada.ca/en/events_results/events/cdns06/event/tv.html).

You may already know about these, but here are a couple of good websites for figure skaters:

Skateweb (http://www.frogsonice.com/skateweb/)
Skatefans mailing list (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/SkateFans/)
Various other mailing lists and newsgroups" (http://www.frogsonice.com/skateweb/news)
