make patrick kane play left wing FOR AMERICA

[meiface]

Still watching the Olympics, still enjoying the hell out of BBC coverage, and still pretty much delighted at seeing awesome athletes be awesome, no matter the nationality or sport. Although Gabby Douglas is made of magic and seeing Zou Kai win gold on floor this morning made my heart clutchy with happiness. :D (At no point did I rewatch 2008

LOLOLOLOL I had to reblog that magnificent Olympics-or-gay-porn thing.

I get so bored every time I look at the hockey blogs (Nash, Doan, Coyotes, ugh just kill me now) that I have missed any speculation about the CBA and its progress. I do know that they can start the regular season without a new one in place, and I just hope that holds true for the preseason (I don't see why it wouldn't). Still, the longer it goes on without ticket sales, the more worried I'm going to get. :(((

(When I was in Philly I broke down and got a Giroux shirt. I don't know WHAT i'm going to wear to Hawks v Flyers. Something not red or orange, I suppose).

IT'S SO GREAT. And swimmers/divers have very nice bodies, you gotta admit. ;)

Ugh, yeah, all the hockey blogs and news these days is just painfully boring. The last exciting thing was Semin's signing by the Canes - now dead again until something happens with Doan, I guess, or maybe Bobby Ryan.

I approve of the Giroux shirt! My bias says obviously that is what you should wear, but I know your heart lies with the Hawks too so ahaha. I will be loud and proud in orange. I will cry when the Flyers play the Canes, but I will be in red. I have hierarchies, barely, and they will probably involve tears either way.

Tickets are out for Hawks @ Flyers!

Eeeeeee! Do you have any opinions or knowledge about where is best to sit?

[altri_uccelli]

Never mind, I bought them: section 103, row 7. Kind of a splurge for me (and seriously, fuck the service charge) but I'm so excited to be pretty close to the ice.

I don't know if this will work as a link, but here's my ice view from the Flyers' website:

Yay!!!!!!!

We were thisclose to buying tix in Section 103! But we decided to go for 112 on the opposite side instead, row 15. I was totally googling "best place to sit at a hockey game" ahaha and all the results said behind the goal is good for action in that end but misses stuff on the other end, and best vantage point to see the game is center ice about 10 rows up or on the second tier. Whatever. First game, we'll get closer to the players and then we'll know for the future, right? :D

If you're not opposed, we should totally meet up at some point!

[altri_uccelli]

It'd totally be fun to meet up! :D

Just read a Derek/Stiles fic that I really liked, btw: Trickster Makes This World by wldnst. I read it because she's on my flist, but can't really cope with diving into the fandom without guidance so I would make good use of your reclist should you post it. :)

[meiface]

Ooh thank you for the rec! That's brand new and looks super shiny. :D

Yes, let's stay in contact about meeting up then. Ahh I can't believe it's August and then Sept soon!
