Less than 24 hours until the competition officially gets underway with preliminary round curling Wednesday at 1:05pm Eastern time, two days before the opening ceremonies. Looking forward to seeing Mikaela Shiffrin putting Beijing behind her, Lindsey Vonn (hopefully), Mikael Kingsbury, ski jumping, aerials, snowboard cross, hockey, short track speed skating, biathalon, and new sport ski mountaineering !!

im stoked the olympics will be on tv for much of my upcoming canada ski trip. i really enjoy when the winter games overlap with my february trip. its especially nice because my streaming services and stuff don't work in canada so im largely limited to hotel cable. if i recall correctly, last time i was there netflix, hulu, and hbo were all not allowed outside of region. amazon and apple were ok. i just downloaded most of the oscar nomination movies, really just to work off a list of content to hoard on a hard drive.

edit - nice. mens hockey medal games are right in the middle of my trip. go canada. for the sake of a really fun time at a bar.
