"Be the first to tell Evan I like this?
I don't think so."
(Note: Evan is scheduled to make an announcement
on the Today Show, erm, today. Most are betting
he's going to be filling the open slot in Skate America.
"We will. But ugh.
Hate that Tyoma and his daddies
have to go through this,
even though it's best in the long run."

"This freaking poll is still up on Ice Network?"
UPDATE: Nope. Now it's... a new one.
And the wording of the choices on it
has left McKayla unimpressed again.

For fans' reactions to this distressing news
and a cogent discussion of the entire situation
from the fan perspective, please see these Facebook threads
as well as additional threads on Johnny's page
under "Posts by Others." I'm with McKayla on this one.
I can't even begin to articulate my disappointment
at the lost photo opportunity, particularly because
of the reality that there isn't another one
for US fans in the foreseeable future.
And I'm not even one of the people
coping with non-refundable plane tickets...
On the other hand, if this means Johnny gets
an extra day to rest as competition looms
ever closer, then that's a good thing.
Moral of the story for me:
Next time, make the effort to go to Sun Valley.

Good news and bad news: Tyoma made it through
his procedure just fine,
but then had to wear the cone of shame.

Johnny tweeted: "I'm so amused
That's a fight I never thought I'd see fought."
McKayla didn't either.
Original photo tweeted by Victor:
"The Soviet officer and Laika, the first dog in space."
This. Is. Everything.
This. Is. Everything.
Although not to McKayla.
In the midst of the utter depression that was fandom yesterday after the Ice House news, my lovely friend Elena Demaria tweeted the link to this Tumblr, "What Should Figure Skaters Call Me?", in an effort to help cheer people up. Each post begins with a skating-related, "When [such-and-such happens...]," and then there's a reaction gif.
This silliness is inspired by a post there, with apologies to the original creator:
McKayla doesn't think so.
But she's wrong.

Next time make the effort to go to Sun Valley? I don't need McKayla. You should see *my* bitchface at that suggestion. If only the people putting on some of these shows put in half the effort to promote them as Johnny's fans do to attend. I guess since I could hardly manage the expense and upheaval to attend a show in my home state the moral of my story is: Don't expect to see Johnny skate live. Learn to be happy for others. Although I've yet to receive a phone call or an email telling me the show's been cancelled, much less how I'll be receiving my refund. So is the show still on for me?
We love you Johnny, so much, even those of us who can't travel the world to see you. I love you, Johnny. And I have to say, as crushing as my disappointment is—and OMG, it is, it really is—I feel so badly for you. I know how much it means to you to skate for your fans, and I'm so sad you won't get that chance next week. It wasn't you Johnny. It's never you.
Hilarious McKayla meme...and hilarious Cosmonaut Johnny and Тёмanaut portrait.
Meanwhile, modern life reminds me of the "Life on Mars" song by David Bowie.
By the way, the bulk of Olympic gold medals are 92.8% silver coated with at least 6 grams of gold. Bronze medals are bronze all the way through (copper and tin). http://chemistry.about.com/od/metalsalloys/f/what_are_olympic_medals_made_of.htm
Chemical composition-wise, gold medals are really more like gilt medals, if that is any consolation.
I've always admired your Photoshop skills. May I make a special request...no rush? Putting all the pieces together...can you put Johnny and Tema on a box of corn flakes or with Mars as the background and, of course, McKayla, too.
Thank you for the humor in today's blog, Binx. I'm so sad about the cancellation of the ice show in N.J. that some humor was needed to help me smile.
LOL. I'll give it a shot, aaaack!! :D
*sad* . . .
i've only met Johnny and seen him skate live once and i was dearly looking forward to my second time.
