Sunday Post #440


 
Well it's been all Olympics all the time. I've been watching a lot. Has anyone seen ski cross yet? At least I haven't seen anyone crash like this.   

So my reading is holding steady but I'm watching Star Trek again. 
     

Song of the week

    I've been watching Kingdom - it's a Korean historical political thriller with zombies. It's excellent so far!

    Have a great weekend, Greg!

    My daughter loves the skating, and we were talking about summer games vs. winter games. The level of danger with a majority of the winter sports is incredible.

    We've been watching the olympics a lot. Mostly the women's sports, snowboarding, curling, skating, speed skating, it's fun!

    Hey Greg...your review for The Echo Wife popped in my feed, but it's not there? Did you reschedule it?

    I haven't been watching as much of the Olympics as I usually do, but what I have watched has been pretty fun.

    The Olympics have been great. I cheered for Nathan Chen, and I'm loving how well our curling teams are doing. And that was one crazy ski cross crash.

    I watched my cousin on his Skeleton runs. I'm really proud of what he accomplished. :) My husband and I watched the new Star Trek Discovery last night. We really like that show and we're excited that the second half of the season started this week.

    Good luck with your watch-a-thon. I still haven't watched the finale of Boba Fett yet. I've been so busy with school, so I only had a chance to watch what I just said above. I'm hoping to get to it this weekend.

    I also enjoyed the Boba Fett finale. It was great to see some nods to what's to come in the whole Star Wars tv show universe.

    I love ski and snowboard cross. It's such a chaotic sport, but very entertaining.

    Still gotta catch up with Boba Fett, I'm like a few episodes behind having been so busy in the last few weeks. I haven't watched the Olympics at all, wow a nasty crash, glad no one collided.

    Which Star Trek are you watching? For some reason, I randomly watched Star Trek V: The Final Frontier the other night. That movie hasn't aged well.

    Some of those ski crashes have been brutal. I cringe long distance. That lonely highway graphic remind me of Stephen King's The Mist for some reason.

    I loved watching all the skating and skiing, even the crashes, glad no one seriously hurt. The castaway on an island picture makes me wish I was there and not in the middle of snow.

    Ooh I haven't watched any of the Olympics this year, even though as a Dutch person I should be glued to the ice skating. I'm also hoping to watch The Book of Boba soon now that we have a Disney+ account in the house. The 'Cryogen' painting is beautiful. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely weekend :)

    I haven't seen any of the Olympics. I binged a medical comedy/drama on BBCiPlayer called This is Going to Hurt, which was absolutely brilliant.

    I'm not enjoying the Peacock coverage of the Olympics, unfortunately. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Lol. So many events are streamed in the middle of the night...

    That Lonely Highway picture is so haunting! Love it! I actually was in the mood for some romantic comedies this weekend, so that is what I watched! Have a great week!

    Well, I don´t watch it live, but get the news ticker and that is enough. And when you see that a German reporter, who just stood up from his unfinished breakfast table to get some more fresh fruits and the guy in the white/blue suit is disinfecting the entire table including a half full coffee mug,and plates with the obviously not finished breakfast, you start to doubt if the IOC president Bach isn´t pushing buttons with his behavior and words. Well, well... Enjoy the games and happy new week, Greg.

    Wow awesome clip! Is that ski snowcross? I don't remember it. I want to watch everything Olympics. It's going to be late tonight with the Super Bowl delay. I'll pay for it tomorrow. Enjoy!

    We've been watching the Olympics every night too. Man, the late live events are killing us here on the east coast. I hope Shaun White appreciates us staying up until 1 am on a weeknight to root for him! :-D I don't think the final was quite as late, thank goodness. I'm curious to see what they decide about Kamila Valieva, the Russian figure skater. I hope they ban her coaches and responsible adults for life. Someone pushed/manipulated her into taking that drug.

    We did take a break last night to watch a couple of episodes of Star Trek Discovery. I'm running out of renewals for it at the library. And of course tonight will be the Super Bowl and All Creatures Great and Small.

    If I saw that on a Lonely Highway, I would decide it was above my paygrade and drive the opposite direction until I ran out of gas.

    Enjoy your week!

    I am very much enjoying the olympics. I saw some of the ski-cross, it was so crazy. The snowboarders and skiers seem to be struggling with the artificial snow - and then it really DID snow and cause even more problems.

    I haven't watched the Olympics this time around and that's a shame because I enjoy the winter games more than the summer games. The bobsled, speed skating and downhill ski are my favorites. Oh well, I'll catch bits and pieces I missed online.
    I like the artwork you shared, especially the beach one!

    I haven't been watching at all this year! I don't like the U.S. way of covering only the U.S. athletes, and we probably wouldn't be able to get it on our old TV anyway, with our bare-bones basic cable package. We are waiting for new seasons of Picard and the new Star Trek Discovery, but my husband likes to go back and watch the old shows.

    Skiing was something I only tried once and it was such a disaster that I'm afraid I'll never try it again. Something like that little clip!
