[T]here are things that have looked better than others. And I will say there was one. It was a patent leather, puffy sort of straitjacket thing that I bought in Japan that I wore on television but the armholes were so low because of just the uniqueness of the garment that I couldn’t really get the microphone to my mouth. That made it difficult to work and I looked a little bit crazy like I was wearing a big puffy trash bag.

Efendi competed for Azerbaijan last year and she performed a song called “Mata Hari,” and it was just full black fishnet sparkle. Something that I would wear on the ice.

He has a really sluggish jump technique, where it's almost like a slingshot where the string is too loose. It doesn't go very far, but very powerful.

 Like the dance of an elegant snow crane.

I did take Windex with me to Tokyo so I could satisfy my cleaning OCD whilst abroad, but so excited that I woke up at 5 today from jet-lag so I could clean one piece of onion skin from my veggie drawer that then begat a top to bottom kitchen clean-up.

There's something wonderfully floaty about his technique....It's almost like he's bouncing from marshmallow to marshmallow.

He was moving his head up and down and side to side a lot, almost like an agitated pigeon.

I don't like corn, I've never been to Greece, and because of ice skating, I'll never be able to sleep on my back because my ass is too big.

Yuzuru Hanyu's performance there reminds me, if there were angels in a really cold environment and they breathed, that's what angels' breath would look like.

Looking at the ladies free skate: 130 to 140 is good; 140 plus is a great score; and basically 150 plus is Russian.

I would also really like a Mongolian Olympics. I think that could be fun. Everyone stays in a yurt village.

Bringing companion animals to the ice and competing at the Olympic level goes back generations. I'm happy to see it finally shown during the Grand Prix.

From Sochi, it's Olympic tradition to show up on the beach and look ridiculous.

Norway, a solid golfing history...in that country.

We are terrified of the sun. We are so white and we work indoors. I go big with my hair which creates a natural shield. I bought all of my weaves yesterday.

More like the new ab-norm.

He has that marshmallow fluff in those knees that hold him upright, no matter what position. Cat-like, if you will.

Another Johnny quote that to fully appreciate, needs the photo:

Blogger's note: Oyasuminasai is Japanese for "good night."
