Worlds Scehedule →
dapperderp:
These times are going to kill me. I guess I’ll have to live without sleep for a week.
Do I have the conviction to get up at 4am every morning for several days? Probably only for the mens events. At least pairs will be something I can check on at work.

5 going on 50
…all 900 feet of me (approx.) hit the ice squarely on my tailbone. I got up again and skated for another 15 minutes in an effort to prove that I was tougher than skating. And maybe I did, but by that night I had a lovely purple bruise blooming like a flower in a crack of concrete (get it?) and a lot of soreness. Skating got the last laugh, but I thought with the fading of the bruise, so to...

April 25 - May 1. Thank heavens it’s still happening. I know that the Japanese delegation will be amazing, and I have high hopes for Volosozhar/Trankov. And I 100% fully expect Davis/White World Champions in Ice Dance.

New "DethSpïralz: A Blog" Post
I was still struggling with some aspects of 3-turns, my spins, my spirals, my lunges, and pretty much everything. I’ve already had to dial down my expectations a lot from where I’d started, but I never would have believed that mastery of a Basic 5 skill would still be just out of reach after a year of trying.

fuckyeahfeelingamazing:
jfc put the skaters out of their misery already :/
Put me out of my misery! Days and days of watching nothing be decided is like being in a circle of hell for me.

rinkwithlove:
My stomach is flip-flopping over this mess…
I’ve been desperately hoping that Worlds would continue, mostly out of a selfish desire to pretend that things in Japan would start getting immediately better. This is figure skating news, so needed the reblog. But I just read this on cnn.com:
Donations to help Japan have been relatively slow to come, reaching about $12 million...
