Sweeeeeet."
OK! Here's a quick roundup of a bunch of stuff you've probably already seen that happened while I was busy having a life—
—such as it is, being mostly made up of things like drowning in deadlines at the same time that my townhouse-complex management suddenly decides to embark on a quick trip down the rabbit hole to paint all our front doors red (because "Corporations are people, my friend! And this one is the Queen of Hearts!") which involves the experienced paint crew coming by at the crack of dawn and propping my front door open for hours and hours and hours while I keep my cats trapped upstairs in my bedroom/office, a room in which they are normally desperate to spend all day lounging, but now that they HAVE to be there, from which they are desperate to escape by any means necessary including ceaseless attempts to squeeze past my monitor (excuse me, I'm trying to work here...) to paw open the window screen and plunge to their deaths on the propped-open front door, and concluding with the exciting announcement from the management that the experienced paint crew will be repeating this whimsical exercise in its entirety again today because they forgot to prime the door first, so instead of a nice, rich, Elizabeth Arden red, my front door currently looks like it has a bad case of hives, which means I'll be rounding up the cats again at 6 a.m. but this time they're going to be far more suspicious than they were yesterday, which should create an extra-challenging scenario for all involved that hopefully doesn't end with me cackling madly to myself whilst painting the cats a nice, rich, Elizabeth Arden red....
Anyway. Here's some stuff about Johnny.
Also last Thursday at the Ice House.

he's looking these days.

Johnny at the Ice House once again,
posted by the ISU (which prompted more than a few
raised eyebrows and amused double takes)
on their Figure Skating Facebook page,
"Johnny Weir (USA) is preparing for his comeback."
Yes. Yes, he is. Thanks for noticing.

I love how happy he looks.

Apparently Johnny and Victor are currently engaged
in some kind of War of Unbearable Cuteness
As Embodied By Puppy Naptime.
Photo tweeted by Johnny on Monday:
"Left my boys to their afternoon naps
and im off to another practice."
Photo tweeted by Victor on Tuesday:
"Getting @johnnygweir back for posting

We await the next installment tweeted by
Тёма via one of his daddies' iPhones.
(Also: I love how the strict rule,
has completely fallen by the wayside...)
OMG only 106 days until Cup of Russia!
Status report tweeted by Johnny yesterday.
And greeted by squeeeeeeees around the world
so high-pitched that only Тёма could hear them. #flail
And in honor of that breathtaking
long program performance in Vancouver:
The grueling two-day NJ bar exam starts today.
Please join me in offering Victor our very best wishes

We wish him the best of luck also, though honestly
I don't think he'll need to rely on luck--
he's damn smart, and well-prepared.

In the realm of feng shui, a red door is di rigueur for fabulous good luck. Hope that enough good fortune visits you to make up for all this cat and deadline grief.
One of the very few superstitions that I indulge in is to buy a decorative red object whenever I was job hunting. Maybe it helped, as I kept getting job acceptances.
Here's wishing Victor well and that all his genius clocks in and is in fighting form today and tomorrow.
In some BGJW episodes, I was left with the feeling that Johnny was very often at loose ends...not enough practice time, a program not totally compatible, getting his costume ready and accepted, warped skates, the requisite "amount of difficulty" in the program [even though it makes skaters look discombobulated and hyperkinetic], or his choreography team in disagreement. Here's hoping that this time around all these elements are on the same page and that Johnny can just concentrate on being in the moment and take us on another wonderful journey.
I think Tyoma's interpretation of the rule is "the puppy waits until both papas are asleep and does whatever he likes."
Johnny's tweet yesterday made the idea of competition real in a way nothing else has. So excited for him!
