OK, so. I am working on dragging the lovely rufflefeather into the world of hockey. And for totally selfish reasons, I want her to cheer for the Bruins. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST, SYLVIE, DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE. Ahem.

The Sox are up 2-0 in the ALDS.

Tonight was GAH, AMAZEBALLS. I dragged took my little brother to the Bruins pre-season game against the Caps tonight.

Soooo that job I was excited about? Yeaaaah, that's not happening. Turns out it's easy to say 'whatever, I'll take a pay cut', only, student loans, so. whatever.

But nothing else really matters right now, because HOCKEY. IS. BACK.
