Good morning people stopping by. I hope that the sun is shining where ever you are.
The sun is shining here in Toronto, but the wind is also blowing which has made it a little bit chilly this morning. It’s not supposed to get very warm either compared to what we have been lucky enough to have lately. I think that the highest forecasted temp I’ve seen for today is 16 degrees Celsius.
This morning was interesting on the subway as there was a dude stretched out across 4 seats sleeping on the north bound Yonge line at about 10:30. At first I thought he was a just a little rude, but then when I took a closer look I noticed the empty bottle of Polar Ice Vodka lying next to his head. It seems that he had a morning pick me up that knocked him out. Other than him there wasn’t any excitement and I read my Green Arrow comic for the nice Sunday ride.
As of right now I’m counting down the minutes until the Blue Jays vs. Red Sox first pitch at Rogers Centre. I have a colleague there for the game and while I am jealous (very jealous) I’m hoping that we win, he has a good time and everyone goes home happy. The friggin Yankees won yesterday which means that even if we beat the Sox today and the Indians beat the Yankees, we won’t be able to catch NY for first place in the East. It’s still close my friends. If we can put some wins together again and erase the memory of that terrible week and a half on the road, we’ll be in good shape.
Last night was also big on the sports scene. The Orlando Magic did what many people thought was going to be impossible and knocked of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. It means that Dwight Howard will take his boys to LA to face Kobe and the Lakers for the right to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Meanwhile, the Red Wings and Penguins were facing off in Detroit to start that Stanley Cup Finals. The bounces were abundant, and for the most part in Detroit’s favour as they walked away with a win in game one. The Pens didn’t play as poorly as the final score indicated and this should still end up being a well matched and well played series.
Jake made me a tad jealous of not being home right now in front of the TV and Teletoon when he sms’d me to say that Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was on. He’s also on his way to the Ottawa Civic Centre Comic Con… sadly neither I nor Romeo are going with him, I know that this makes us all a little sad.
Yesterday we fired off a piece to www.hotpinkgeek.com about Thursday’s geeky day off. It ended with the question, what do you do to geek out? Still waiting for answers and hits. Let us know what you think.
Rapid fire time.
-Calgary has been named the smartest city in Canada, again.
-Susan Boyle lost Britain’s Got Talent.
-My boy Rafael Nadal last in stunning fashion at the French Open. This makes me sad.
-Jon and Kate are in hot water now as child services want to investigate what’s going on in the house.
-The longest baseball game in NCAA history yesterday, and into this morning. The University of Texas at Austin took on Boston College in a game that went 25 innings and 7 hours and 3 minutes. The most amazing part to me is that Texas only used 3 pitchers the whole night.
-Disney/ Pixar’s UP! Opened this week and I should be able to tell you tomorrow that it was tops at the box office.
-According to actual number of posts today is number 100 here at www.newmorningmusings.blogspot.com , go team us.
I think that’s all for today mes amis.
Enjoy your Sunday, where ever you are.
Like wham!
