OD'ed on Adorable

Right-o -- it's a short post this evening. But readers beware, I've got an arsenal of cute on me.

I headed over to YouTube to check out some details on the top two members of my Harem and discovered these delightful, precious clips of the ladies. Seems both were keen on hanging with the Sesame Street crew to teach future generations and to garner greater admiration from yours truly.

First: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Oscar-nominated supporting actress:

And that is why her fans have dubbed her "Maggles." SO ADORABLE IT STINGS.

Second: Natalite Portman. In an elephant suit.

Dead Serious:

Ms. Portman's segment was an older one, but it is still cute beyond comprehension. I loved Sesame Street as a child, but I reckon I would have been glued to the screen had lovely ladies like these occupied that edu-tastic screen time.

OLYMPIC UPDATES:

Seems Team Canada has shuffled off that notorious politeness and are taking no prisoners. Recent medal winners now include:

• Marianne St-Gelais, Short Track Speed Skating - Ladies' 500 m (Silver, Feb. 17)
• Christine Nesbitt, Speed Skating - Ladies' 1000 m (Gold, Feb. 18)

Our ladies are owning when it comes to Canadian medals at this moment. Out of seven, the girls have nabbed five (two of which are the elusive gold medals). None too shabby, if you ask me.

So, not only can we throw ourselves down hills well, we can also skate in circles on ice quite fast. Everyday, kids -- everyday, you learn something new.

EDIT: I can hear the rumblings from downstairs. I like to steer clear of the family room when men's hockey is on. Too much tension. And that's from the ice AND the spectators (chez Moffatt).
