Saturday Morning Musings, Everybody In The Pool Edition

Hey there everyone.



Happy Saturday morning to you all.


Well wishes and positive thoughts to E-ve’s mom who had a rough go last night. I hope that a new day brings better things.

And big ups to E-ve for being an amazing and helpful daughter. And also for complimenting me heartily on the cake that I made for her. It made me smile big when she said all of the nice things that she did. She’s totally the awesome.


I’m a little sad today because the TV at work is broken and there is play-off football that I will be missing. Sad faces.


Just finished up the picks for my hockey pool. I feel pretty good about them. I didn’t have a great week ending yesterday, but I beat my boss and Alex Ovechkin saved my bacon with his performance against the Maple Leafs last night.


My line-up for this week looks like this:

Forwards:
Kovalchuk, Ilya ATL

Heatley, Dany SJ

Thornton, Joe SJ

Gaborik, Marian NYR

Richards, Brad DAL

Byfuglien, Dustin CHI


Defensemen:
Robidas, Stephane DAL

Bergeron, Marc-Andre MTL

Tyutin, Fedor CBJ

Keith, Duncan CHI


Goaltenders:
Nabokov, Evgeni SJ

Smith, Mike TB


Cross your fingers for me friends.



Listening to music this morning in prep for some karaoke tonight. Am old friend is in town to see RENT and we’re gonna have a hang out and hello and turn on the microphone… I should start picking song ideas now.


I’ve got a little bit of a head ache. I hope that coffee helps. If not I may have to try something more drastic.


I’m all the way up to 4 friends on Facebook since I opened the page. Remember that you can find me there now. Smiles.


I’ve got a piece almost ready for the Longer Form Musings today. I’ve already touched on the subjust here today, so don’t be surprised when it posts and you see it. http://www.thelongformmusings.blogspot.com/


What is everyone else doing this weekend? Let me know. Share your awesome stories. Don’t be shy.


Gotta run, lots to do, well some to do, ok not a whole lot to do, but I’ll find something.


Like wham!

Friday Morning Musings, Found One! Edition

Good day to all of my friends, family, foes and fans.



I hope you're all having what's shaping up to be a great Friday.



Thursday was a pretty awesome day for today to compete with. E-ve had a pretty good birthday and I was happy to be part of it.



Her mum did a great job getting some M&M steaks for their dinner and then it was karaoke time. She did a great job singing Out Tonight from RENT and also Love Will Keep Us Together. Hearing her sing makes me smile. We also got to hang with a few of her friends from the restaurant. Everyone had big smiles, chips and salsa and laughs. Good times.



P.S. Thank you to the TTC street car and bus drivers for making a pretty sweet exception and getting her home quicker, warmer and safer than what could have been. Much appreciated.



We also got to share a few funny moments as some of the patrons would have fit perfectly at a bar we used to sing at in Ottawa.



I had a good time trying 2 songs that I had never sung before as well. The 1st was Use Somebody by the Kings of Leon. I felt pitchy to start but was happy with it overall. The 2nd was Chicken Fried by the Zac Brown Band. I had some trouble with the flow of some of it. But the chorus and I got along just fine and I dig that song. It's still in my head.



The cable is being dumb. Digital radio is all I have access to.



Tomorrow marks the start of the 2nd half of the CBC fantasy hockey season. It also means that if I get my stuff together and make good picks I might be able to make a run at the KIA they are giving away. Wish a dude luck.



I was very confused by the whole colour thing in all the girls statuses on FB yesterday. I did figure it out. And I am made to understand that it's in support of Breast Cancer awareness. As long as everyone knows what it's about I think it was probably wide reaching enough to spread some serious awareness.



Does anyone else remember when Heroes was worth waiting for every Monday night?



In other Monday night entertainment news: Chuck is "this close" to being back. There is a 2 episode shot for your viewing pleasure on Sunday night, followed by another episode on Monday night. IMDB is showing 12 episodes for this season which means a quarter of their season is coming up in the next 4 days.



I hope everyone is finding a way to stay warm on this chilly day.



I think that's all for now mes amis.



Have a great day. Happy Friday!

Thursday Morning Musings, Happy E-ve's Birthday Edition

Good afternoon friendlies.



First and most importantly, it is E-ve's birthday. She's 1 year older than she was yesterday. But she looks pretty darn good.



Here's hoping that dinner with her mum and dad is great and karaoke with friends is a blast.



Mobile quick fire time.



I'm disappointed that Roberto Alomar did not get voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday. He was the most exciting player that I ever got to watch.



Congratulations to former Montreal Expo, Andre Dawson who was voted into the HoF. Here's hoping his plaque shows an Expos cap forever in Cooperstown, NY.



And lastly on the baseball front, Randy Johnson retired this week. The Big Unit was amazing both physically and in performance. I saw him pitch one Sunday afternoon from the 2nd row and he wowed me.



The cold snap has ended for now. It's only about -4 today with very little wind chill.



Now that E-ve's birthday is here I have started the countdown to Chuck on Sunday, January 10/ 2010.



I'm almost out of Christmas chocolates. More needed shortly.



My shawarma was so spicy at lunch today that my eyes watered and my sinuses have cleared. Thank you my friends.



You might not believe me when I tell you this, but there are 2 reasons I'm almost excited for work Saturday. Not enough that I'll be happy to get out of bed... But we'll see how it goes.



I'm excited to report that Glee will be on Showcase Diva starting tomorrow.



I love the Batman.



Time to wrap it up I think.



We're inching closer to 300 posts. Exciting.



Have a good night friends, and a happy tomorrow.
