Drive-by posting: skating!

Up late last night. Skate America got out at 11:30. Yes, that's pm. Get this: Lysacek's final performance started at 11:05. What a ridiculous schedule, do they do this often?

Woke up late this am. Definitely not doing the 7:30am fan fest this am, eh? Driving back and forth between here and Skate America, I think I've worn a trench in the road.

The crowd booed the judges at the end of the men's program when Lysacek came in third. He really sold it in his performance, but I'm guessing he paid a lot of technical points throughout. Must ask roaringmice what she thinks.

My favorite women's skater is Kim Na-Yung. Talk about elegance.

Off to the races. Will reply later.

Skate America's too short!

SGA Fic: Out Of Bounds - John/Rodney - NC-17

I may be overeager, but I'm pushing ahead on this part. wildernessguru is helping me with some research for one of the later sections after this.

You can get caught up here: Out Of Bounds.

Title: Out Of Bounds
Author: Icarus
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: John winged one garbage can lid onto the lawn like a frisbee, where it landed and rolled in a circle to lie flat. Rodney, rake in hand, gave it a sardonic look and yelled something that John couldn't hear over the telephone crew's chainsaw.
A/N: Thank you to my intrepid and hard-working betas, rabidfan, enname, and roaringmice, with guest tie-breaking appearance by dossier. I've decided to just barrel ahead with this part.

Previously in Out Of Bounds: Known more for his jumps than his artistry, figure skater John Sheppard hires ex-skating champion and "artiste" Rodney McKay to be his coach. Their teasing friendship warms into something more. Rodney, after his Olympic failure, kept all of his press clippings... including the ones that excoriate him.
