I’ve been denied a happy step dad moment. My step daughter is trying out for youth softball today. They are doing it indoors and parents/family members can’t go into the gym.

No videos today.

Bummer.

For the second time in recent weeks the Montreal Canadiens beat the Ottawa Senators. Final score tonight? Canadiens 5, Senators 1.

That’s twice now that the Canadiens have won a game that seriously helped the Boston Bruins. They brought their most bitter rival closer to winning the Northeast division.

Blasphemy, eh?

Thanks, Habs. I still hate your filthy guts, but I appreciate the help.

Go Bruins!

So I took my lunch break and went through all of the pictures I have on Flickr that are tagged “iphone” and sorted out a set of just Hipstamatic pics.

I think.

It’s sometimes hard to look at a thumbnail and know if it is Hipstamatic or Instagram or some other camera app.

Anyway… I took this on 4/17/11 and I am reposting it because I like it.

That is all.

I managed to stay up for some of the Bruins game last night, but I was listening to the radio feed on my iPad at the same time I was starting to read the book World War Z by Max Brooks and I found myself more engaged by the book so I wasn’t paying too close attention to the game.

Part of the reason may have been that the Bruins were barely there.  17 shots in a 2-1 loss to a 10th place San Jose Sharks.  Remember all of that optimism generated by the win against Philly and the massacre against Toronto?

Gone.

They get L.A. on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday.  You have to figure Marty Turco is going to play goal in one of those games.

This road trip can’t be as ugly as the last road trip… but it could still be ugly.

Go Bruins?
Go Bruins!

Here are examples of three Hipstamatic combinations that I kinda like.

First, the stock set up…
Lens: John S
Film: Ina’s 1969

Second, my favorite set up pre-Hipstapacks…
Lens: Jimmy
Film: Kodot XGrizzled

Finally, my favorite so far, following the purchase of a few add-ons…
Lens: Lucifer VI
Film: Float

It’s funny you should ask, but yes I do need a vacation.

I hate it when my favorite sports teams have to travel to the West coast.  7:30pm local time games air at 10:30 Eastern time.  That sucks.  I hope to be long asleep before that time comes (although if the last few weeks are any indication, I might be awake for the first period or so).

The Bruins play the Sharks tonight.  After two impressive wins in a row, the Bruins need to continue the momentum.  San Jose has been slipping this year, and there is a good chance they will miss the playoffs.  I would greatly enjoy it if the Bruins contributed to their collapse with a convincing, dominate win tonight.

Go Bruins!
