Flaming Bananas!

Happy Valentine's Day to all! I'm single, but happy. We celebrated with a pancake breakfast this morning as we watched Breakfast at Tiffany's (one of our friend's V-day tradition). We reported for work shortly after that, and the rest was pretty typical to every night. Sound check, break, another check, break, doors open - start live feed for IMAG (DJ, MC, dancers), medals, concert.

Tonight's medals ceremony seemed much more intense than last night - there were more medals awarded (including swapping to a live feed from BC Place in Vancouver, which was new for us), as well as a better show (in my humble opinion) by Estelle.

I blew my food budget for the day on a not-so-aa flaming banana crepe that was very tasty. To make up for that expense, however, I ate dinner at the hotel (salad with tuna at 10pm - very Spanish) while watching pairs figure skating. Not for a minute did I consider myself pitiful for spending Valentine's Day evening alone, but after a while, a friend did come to visit, so that was fun.

Anyway, I'd better rest up for skiing tomorrow! The media has access to 5 days of ski passes/rentals - free! It should be a clear day tomorrow so I am beyond thrilled! Is this work or vacation?

EDIT: When I mentioned the flaming banana crepe, I left out the most important part of the story! While the flames were dying down, I wanted to smell it to get an idea of how it might taste. What I did not realize was that sticking my face in a flame woud singe my eyebrows. When I got back to the hotel later that evening, I realized that was the reason my eyebrows looked a bit flaky. Sigh.
