It’s a Miracle

Oh happiness!  It’s a miracle!  The Boston Bruins have won two games in a row!  They have points in six straight, although three of those six are unbelievably horrible overtime losses (Carolina?  Are you kidding me?).

But they beat Pittsburgh in overtime last night, and they completely dominated New Jersey tonight.  Has the corner been turned?  Will I be asking that same question again in the near future?  Yeah, probably.

We’re back in one of the wild card spots now so I am going to enjoy this while it lasts.  Which is probably just until Saturday.

Go Bruins!

Again?

Last night was bad enough, but tonight too? Two Bruins games in two nights, both starting at 8:00 instead of 7:00?

It’s starting to look like the Bruins will never win another game. The best we can hope for is shootout losses. Sure could use a forward like Jarome Iginla now, eh? Sure could use a defenseman like Johnny Boychuck now, eh?

At least Krejci might come back tonight. If not tonight then probably the next game.

West Coast Games Suck

The only thing worse than a 10:00 start for a Bruins game is a 10:30 start for a Bruins game.

Both Monday and Tuesday nights I went to bed with the radio on, hoping to catch some of the game before zonking out. Monday was a complete fail. Last night I did catch a few minutes, but not from the beginning. I woke up, couldn’t tell what period it was, shut it off, went to sleep.

Oh yeah, they lost both games. Hooray. One more California game to go, on Thursday, before they have a more palatable 8:00 start in Arizona on Saturday.

West coast road trips suck. They are just the pits.

Stanley Cup

There was a thread on ello asking people to mention something about themselves that no one would know. The first thing that popped into my head was that I once used Lord Stanley’s Cup as an arm rest.

Proof:

I want ello to be worth visiting, I really do. It’s just sort of… Not. I’m trying to engage in the process, but I get so little back that I feel like an idiot.

New Toys

So the two pedals I bought yesterday were used at a band practice last night. The tuner was no big deal, except that it is actually a bypass switch. When you turn it on the signal goes in but not out. I thought there was something wrong. I plugged in the input and switched it on, then plugged in all of my other pedals and turned on the amp and… nothing. It only took a minute to figure it out though.

As for the phaser… sah-WEEET.

I am hoping to mix a song for NaSoAlMo tonight. I’m telecommuting tomorrow too so hopefully I’ll make a big push to finish off the four remaining songs.

Before that though…

Chicken, quinoa, broccoli, and the Bruins (hopefully) kicking the crap out of the Penguins.

Bruins and History Repeating Itself

Think back to the early Spring…

Remember when the Red Sox season was about to start and everyone was sure they would be contenders this year? I mean, they were World Series Champs after all. Remember how after the season started it became clear that they couldn’t score runs at all and they ended up in dead last place after a full season of suck?

I sure hope that doesn’t happen to the Bruins… who have only managed one goal in each of their first four games and are currently holding a 1-3 record.

Boy… that would suck, huh?
