So the senior Grand Prix series kicked off this weekend, and I am starting to seriously wonder if I want to watch too much of senior figure skating anymore. It's gotten to be so much easier when it's the juniors. I'm even more seriously considering not watching any ice dance competitions in which the predator enablers are competing, except apparently there aren't even likely to go away after the Olympics. (I did that with the men in 2010 because I was so pissed at Plushenko, but he did ultimately more or less fall off after Vancouver.) Except I do so like so many of the other teams I've been able to see so far this year.
I also finished Tusk Love this week. I enjoyed it a bit more at the end, but still found myself annoyed at the romance novel tropes. I have now started reading a book of various writings about the French Revolution.

At the minute, I find the juniors much more appealing and fun to watch than most of the seniors, so I don't know how much of the senior GP series I will watch - certainly none of the odd hours of the night ones!

I stopped staying up for the overnight ones years ago.

I got out of bed to watch a few in the wee hours (not only him on the icon, either) and followed along on forums, but these days I tend more to check it out in the morning - it's also good because I get to read up on who has had a disaster and I don't want to suffer through it. It's a sport where disaster competitions can be painful to watch...
