Sunday Morning Musings, It's Still Morning On The West Coast Edition

Hey there my friends.

Happy Sunday. I hope that you’re all relaxed and happy and rested and such.

Big love to E-ve who is battling a little “morning after” syndrome before she starts working the lunch shift. If you’re in her section today please try to keep the noise down as you enjoy your lunch and remember to tip big and smile lots.

And big smiles for E-ve as her Maple Leafs look like they just shook things up like crazy. The Buds have picked up former EA Sports cover boy Dion Phaneuf from the Flames. There are 2 other players coming to Toronto with the big hitting defenseman, forward Fredrik Sjostrom and forward Keith Aulie. The Leafs didn’t steal the 3 players though. Leaf fans will be saying their goodbyes to forwards Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman and Jamal Mayers and defenseman Ian White.

A 2nd report says that Toronto is also super close to pulling the trigger on a goaltending trade with the Anaheim Ducks. The Maple Leafs, who haven’t had a top flight goalie in a long time would welcome 2002-03 Conn Smythe Trophy winner J.S. Giguere from the Ducks and would finally stop the bleeding that has come along with the Vesa Toskala experiment. This trade hangs on approval from Giguere as he has a no-trade clause in his contract.

Last night was another at home adventure in the kitchen. Skipping lunch left me with a huge hunger. So my pasta, tuna, veggie casserole was a nice end to the day. The spinach laced tomato sauce was quite tasty and the grated cheese on top just before it went in the oven was a great touch. Go team me.

Tonight is Grammy night. I hope that you’re all ready for lots of singing and dancing and pretty dresses and maybe a scandal or two. I am.

Side note: Dear internet, I think that I would like new books for my birthday.

High fives to Jake and Romeo who I am sure did a great job watching the twins yesterday.

Word is that the J.S Giguere trade is done with Toskala and forward Jason Blake going to Anaheim.

The Raptors start a home and home series with the Indiana Pacers tonight at the ACC. The home town boys are rolling as of late. We are now 3 games over .500 and on a 4 game win streak. These 2 games are winnable for the Raps and much needed in the standings. Go Raps Go.

iTunes radio is a great way to get some sound into the store with the TV broken. Thank goodness for the internet.

I tweeted this yesterday, but I really meant to get it in the blog, January 29th was the 1st anniversary of the New Morning Musings. I would like to thank everyone that has stopped by, even once to read and support my rambling. And to E-ve and Jake and Romeo and Heath and Julia special thanks for being in the Muse more often than most.

I think that’s all for today mes amis.

From me and my Batman belt buckle to you and yours, have a great Sunday.

Like wham!

Saturday Morning Musings, Happy Hockey Day In Canada Edition

Hey there campers.


Welcome to the weekend. If you’re not at work like me I’m not sure why you’re awake, but good morning to you.

Big love to E-ve on a day off hopefully filled with warmth and relaxation before a bday party for an old friend tonight. It’s gonna be chilly, so I’ll be reminding her to bundle up.

I got final Jeopardy last night, and the bonus round puzzle on Wheel of Fortune. That’s right, I’m the man.

I saw something pretty crazy on the TV this morning. The news showed my old apartment building with the fire crews out front as they put out some kind of blaze last night. I’m not uber surprised that there was a fire to be honest. But I am happy that nobody was hurt.

Msn.ca is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is going to go topless in her next flick. I’m not sure what she’s trying to accomplish in her career, but it’s a new step for her I suppose.

In other entertainment news, Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence have been handed a new ABC series. The last thing I remember Melissa Joan Hart from is Britney Spears’ Crazy video and that movie that it went with. And the only thing I remember of Joey is “Whoa”.

The 52nd Grammy Awards go tomorrow night. I’m not sure who is going to win what, but I’ll probably check it out to see some of the performances and winners. I love music in most of its forms so this is a good chance to see a bunch of them at once.

Congrats to Speed Skater Clara Hughes as she has been named Canada’s flag bearer at the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Hughes is Canada’s only multiple medalist at both the Summer and Olympic games. That’s a pretty amazing accomplishment.

We’re rocking to Slacker Radio here in the store right now. It’s a pretty okay free internet radio site that you can get for your BlackBerry as well. I tried it on the BB but I took it off. It’s worth a free shot though if you’re looking for streaming radio.

It’s Hockey Day in Canada mes amis. A little earlier in the year than 2009 because of the Olympics, but still pretty cool. I hope that you enjoy the action all day long on the CBC.

Big ups to Jake at rehearsal today. Knock ‘em dead.

I think that’s all for now kids.

Have a great Saturday.

Like wham!
