I did try to write that hockey fic about Raycroft and Stajan fishing on their day off in Florida, a few weeks ago. I didn't get very far, but the opening scene saw Hal Gill, who is a relatively huge beast of a man (6'7" 250), sitting on Raycroft and singing "Wake Up Suzy" in an attempt to encourage the goalie to get out of bed and out onto the bus ( Read more... )

Apparently I like driving for 30 minutes in near white-out conditions for the good of my health. Well, about 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back.

SonofabitchI swear I checked the college website before I left and there was nothing. And the teacher, who has all our e-mail addresses, didn't e-mail us. I should have called or something though, I ( Read more... )

I think the key to getting through tonight's test will be remaining calm, taking my time, and openly admitting when I don't know or have forgotten something. So, staying calm, which for me is not quite as easy as it sounds, is my priority today.

I don't know if you've figured it out by now, but I am unbelievably bitter about this whole love trapezoid (not mine, but I like it, so I've nicked it) fiasco on The Office. ( in which I repeat myself and express what could be interpreted as anti-Jim sentiments )

I am so freaking tired and should be in bed, but I wanted to point out that this is just about the best thing ever: Led Zeppelin perform “Whole Lotta Love” at Earls Court, 1975. I’m embarrassed to admit how many times I’ve watched that video.

The other thing is, I just finished watching The Song Remains the Same. A little strange, but the ( Read more... )

Some beautiful soul uploaded Demetri Martin's one hour Comedy Central special, Demetri Martin. Person., onto YouTube. The special was supposed to be re-aired(?) on CC this past Sunday at 10 PM (EST), I believe, and yet it was not. In its place was a different special, featuring this mildly obnoxious (in my opinion, of course; funny is subjective ( Read more... )

I went to my first ASL class last night. There was a bit of a crisis when I discovered I didn't have enough change with which to pay & display, but that was solved easily enough by a trip to the cafeteria to break my ten dollar bill. Damn, it was cold out last night, though. And here I'd been hoping that winter would stay away forever. Then ( Read more... )

I just finished reading the TWoP recap of the Apprentice 6 premiere, and I can't help but regret my decision not to watch season six just a teeny tiny itty bitty bit. Jacob, if I was wearing a hat, it would most definitely be off in deference to you, Sir.

I just got off the phone with a lady from a continuing education-type place in Chatham. It was like a pre-interview deal, but I'm still pretty excited about this as I haven't got a call about a job - (I'm not counting this ridiculous tutoring thing that doesn't seem to be going anywhere) - in a very long time. ( and so, I blab )

Easily the highlight of my weekend.

I'd post the pictures I nicked from GettyImages.com, but they've all got watermarks, so I'll wait until tomorrow for that, when I know some lovely individual will post pictures sans watermarks.
