Eeeeee!

[livejournal.com profile] sdavido just gave me a couple-days-early birthday present: a DVD recording of Torvill & Dean's "Bolero" performance at the '84 Olympics (complete with judges' marks). That's always been one of my favorites, and I have it on a VCR tape somewhere, but as he points out the tape is probably degrading. So now I have a copy that won't wear out. It's so nice that he knows what I like...

I was just thinking about that the other day. I was in Panera and I was trying to figure out if they had just been playing Bolero. I dedcided that it hadn't been but I thought I should try to find that couples figure skating routine on Youtube. I haven't yet but maybe sometime. I've only seen it once or twice years ago but it really stuck with me.

I just found it on YouTube, a little fuzzy but still worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqBnaSjlBRE

when's your birthday?

Monday. (S. is a year and a week older than me, so for one week a year he's 2 years older... and he really plays it up.) :-)

Oh that's cool! I like figure skating. (Well, watching it. *grin*)

Likewise! I love watching it but I think I've maybe been on skates once.
