Today was a good day. :D
•I got paid. This is always a good thing. Of course, they still owe me money and as of this morning, I haven't heard word of when I'm going to get it....
•I went skating. And it was great! I got there just after two, and they didn't have to clear the ice until 3:45, there were so few people there. I felt a little awkward at first, being there alone, but then I just looked at it as exercise -- don't need to do anything fancy, just need to skate -- and I felt much better. I wish they had cleaned the ice and sent people around the other way, because I was starting to get sore on one side from going in the same direction for so long! It felt nice to have relatively open ice and a decent amount of room to pick up some speed. And not-cruddy-within-twenty-minutes-ice to skate on. *7*
•Found a beautiful Zelda book at Kino.
I must have it. I don't care if it's $60, I'll find a way. It's got so much cool STUFF in it, like the
alphabet and
syllabary codes, and some pictures of
Tingle and shit. Goes through all the games, the main characters. I nostalgiaed pretty hard at the old stuff. MUST BE MIIIIINE. Tax return. Yes. I have decided. This is what I've earned slaving at Baruch. THIS BEAUTY. I also got a strawberry rubber stamp and a cute little hedgehog eraser in the stationery section. I thought I saw a KOALA eraser, but alas, it was an elephant: the trunk was a separate piece.
•The Rangers and Canucks won. After that
BRUTAL game on Tuesday, the Rangers bounced back tonight with a 4-3 OT win against Tampa Bay. What were the highlights? Ryan Callahan's power play goal to open scoring on our side and Brad Richards' goal to win the game. Marty made a couple of sweet game-saving stops on Steve Stamkos (my god, he has beautiful eyes. A little freaky, but beautiful. Biron, not Stamkos. XD). Wasn't watching the Canucks game, since it was on at the same time as the Rangers, but they won 5-2: Daniel got the first goal and Ryan got the last one.
And speaking of my Ryans being beasts, the Sabres shut out the Bruins --the Bruins! -- yesterday, SIX to nothing.
That's right, Ryan. You keep being sexy. (Thanks,
jennybenz. :D) And it's especially awesome because it kept the Rangers three points up on 'em.
I mean, some not-so-great things happened, too. The Islanders beat the Flyers Tuesday, but Philly edged Toronto 4-3 tonight, and the Isles fell to the freakin' Habs.
Scott Gomez scored, you guys. Augh. Screw them. I mean, I don't like the Islanders, but only because I have to; I'd pity them otherwise. But Montreal? EW. And next year's Winter Classic is going to be Toronto and Detroit. I'm excited about Toronto -- hurray, a Canadian team! -- but ... Detroit? Again? We just had Philly, again, and last year Pittsburgh, again. Can we please feature teams that haven't been to the Classic before we double up any more? That's ridiculous and stupid. Yes, let's make hockey a bigger deal in places where it's already a big deal. 9_9 Anyway, back to happy.
•Yesterday, I saw a video where Momoko got pushed around.
And it's fucking hilarious. She's almost twenty, I really wish H!P would knock it off with her cutesy/vain persona already, because it's really annoying, and it makes me hate her. :D She has so much potential to sound cool, at least, like she does
here, or better,
here. Hard to believe that's the same person. :|
•I'm tired at a decent hour! So I'm pretty much going to read until I fall asleep right after this. I went to bed late last night, and woke up -- magically -- early this morning, without an alarm clock, then I went and skated and suffered a bit of food coma so I'm done for the evening. But, yes, a good day. And I hope tomorrow's even better! :D
