A few things I didn't mention before...
I bought a 15-game partial plan, selected the seat I wanted, paid for my tickets, and I should have the tickets shortly.
Eeee! I went through the schedule and picked 8 games I really wanted to go to... and then found the 15-game partial plan which actually has 7 of the 8 games I really wanted to go to, and the one game that isn't on the 15-game plan is one I can do without seeing. I'll probably try to make it to that game anyway, but if I miss it, I won't mind too much. (the game I don't get is the Phoenix game)
But I do get the games against Dallas, San Jose, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Colorado, Montreal, Washington and Chicago. I also get games against Florida, Atlanta, the Rangers, and the Leafs.
And I'm very pleased with the seat I have. I have Section 109, Row 1, Seat 9. :) That will be a most excellent view, especially with no one in front of me. :)

I thought about this today after finding The Terminator on tv last night and watching.
There are some movies that are just... re-watchable? Maybe for lack of a better term. Movies you can watch over and over and over again without really getting tired of them, or without turning them off... those movies you'll leave on TV when there's nothing else on, because, well... they're THOSE movies.
Like if you're flipping through the channels because there's nothing really worth watching, but you want to find something to either watch or at least leave on for background noise... and you come across one of THOSE movies. And you leave it on, and you end up watching it.
So what are those movies for you?
For me...
The Terminator -- There's something about this movie that makes it very watchable. Maybe that I like Michael Biehn, maybe that this was a movie my parents and I would watch together as a 'movie night' when I was younger, maybe just because well... it's good. I can watch this movie all the time.
Deep Blue Sea -- Again, there's just something about this movie that never disappoints. It's got action (and it's got Action Man... [Thomas Jane]) and it doesn't require too many brains to enjoy it. And Samuel L Jackson makes an appearance. That's never a bad thing.
Tremors -- Even I don't understand this one. It's completely inane, but it's so stupid it's funny.
Titanic -- I'm not sure if I could watch it from the beginning, but I've found it on TNT and other channels several times and turn it on at the point where DiCaprio (Jack) is entering the dining hall for dinner with Winslet (Rose) and her uppity folk, and I've watched from there through the end. Several times.
