Holy Goddess! I'm trying to work and following the rankings as they happen live at the ISU website (can't watch the programs on Universal sports because we cannot download the needed program to our computers) - Nagasu just finished her short program and scored a season best score of 70.40 -- dig this -- she knocked Mao Asada into second place, who has 68.08! Next up is Kim Yu Na.
Unbelievable! Stay tuned...
11:17 a.m. - OHMYGODDESS! Kim is in 6th place - she scored 60.30. Unbelievable! What the hell happened? No time to check element scores and stuff like that - I'm supposed to be working...
Rachel Flatt has yet to skate - can she bump Asada out of second place so the unheralded American teens land in 1st and 2nd after the short program? I can feel my hair turning grey...
11:19 a.m. - Akiko Suzuki finished skating and is in 17th place. Rachel Flatt is up next...
THE TENSION IS KILLING ME...
11:28 a.m. - WOW! Rachel knocked Kim Yu Na out of 6th place. She scored 60.88 to Kim's 60.30. Are people jumping out of buildings in South Korea at this moment?
Here's the stats for the top 7 thus far:

I don't know how many more skaters there are to go - there can't be that many -- they were already skating when I checked the news this morning at 6:30 a.m.
11:36 a.m. - THIS IS HUGE, HUGE! I don't see any deductions for Kim so was it her performance? Arggghhh, I won't be able to even check Universal Sports for replays until I get home tonight, unless something goes up at You Tube over my lunch hour...
