Saturday Morning Musings, First Muse Of The New Year Edition

Good morning mes amis.

I hope that the new year has started well for each and every one of you.

One quick thing before I really start. I saw a Facebook status that said something along the line of, Happy New Year to all of my friends, and everyone else can go F themselves. I think that’s absolutely terrible. I know this person and there are a lot of people that don’t especially care for her personality… so there are many people that aren’t her friend. I would personally like to wish all of those people a happy new year.

And now, my thank you’s need to be handed out.

Thank you to E-ve for a great NYE. Dinner was tasty and the company was lovely. Champagne was a great touch and our Christmas wine was a nice treat.

Also, thank you for my Christmas presents. I have been waiting years for Band of Brothers and now I have it. I have a feeling that there will soon be a marathon at my apartment.

This is the first muse of 2010 and as such it should be special. But really, I don’t know how to make it any more special than any of 2009’s posts were.

Thank you to everyone that has popped in to read during our first 280 something posts and I hope that you will all stick with us as we pass 300 and 400 and 500 during this year.

Thank you to everyone at the NHL that put together the 3rd annual Winter Classic at Fenway Park yesterday. The event was fun to watch from start to finish. I personally thought that singing Sweet Caroline during the 3rd period was a great touch. A lot of hockey fans didn’t seem to think so, but I believe that you have to embrace the tradition of the venue and city that you are using for special events.

The only true downside I saw was Daniel Powter singing the Canadian national anthem before the game. I did think that it was a nice touch for the NHL to have the anthem represented even though there wasn’t a Canadian team in the game, but Powter did a bad job. And the way he was moving around and such while he was singing made him look like a douche.

Confession: E-ve and I both napped through part of the game.

I’m hyped for the Raptors game tonight against the Boston Celtics because if we win it will mean a 6 game win streak. And our chances of winning are good because Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo won’t be playing in the game.

It is friggin’ cold in the city today. Like -27 with the wind chill factor. Bundle up if you’re out in the sunshine today.

I think that’s all for now my friends. I hope that you have a great day.

Like wham!
