I can usually put myself in a mindset where I am ignoring the glitches of a story, perhaps fixing them in my mind. I just go into it with low expectations, I guess. Aim small, miss small, right?
It's hard to say, I haven't had much time for pleasure reading lately, except for some fanfic. Textbooks anyone? Granted, one of my books for my honors seminar, Prep, is pretty good so far. It doesn't seem like it'll shape up to be something mindblowingly spectacular, but at least its not Ten Theories of Human Nature.

I wish I got to watch skating!!! *whine* I only watched pairs on the first night (?). I mostly remember the Chinese guy who tore his achilles tendon landing a triple toe loop (I think it was) but the girl falling.

Yeah, the commentators suck. During the opening ceremonies, we would jokingly add our own commentary...only to have the "real" commentators say that exact thing moments later!!!
