My sick step daughter and I drove to pick up my step son at school. We got here almost 30 minutes early and there were still five people in line ahead of us.

My step daughter has been sick for a few days. She stayed out of school and I took the day off to stay with her. She’s playing games on Jen’s laptop while we sit in the living room watching Harry Potter #6. We won’t be seeing #7 this week. Jen and I want to clear it first and we won’t get a chance for a few days.

Can I just say the whole burning down the Weasley house was just a dumb idea? What point does that serve? Stupid freakin’ hollywood.

Too bad we don’t have a Bruins, or Red Sox, or… or… Lock Monsters game to watch this afternoon.

Happy Early Weekend.

In between DVR’d episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place, I managed to check the score of the Bruins vs Florida game. There was nine minutes left in the first period and the game was scoreless. I told my step daughter that when playing Florida, the Bruins should have scored at least five goals in the first 11 minutes.

They did not score that many, obviously. But I’ll settle for a three goal outburst in a stretch of less than two minutes in the third to salt away a 4-0 win. Tuukka Rask gets his first win of the season (finally) and Milan Lucic scores a hat trick.

(pardon me while I mute that horrible steven tyler commercial)

anyway, the Bruins win again. Next up is Los Angeles. That should be a great game.

Go Bruins!

One of the customers I support is located in British Columbia. Our consultant just came back from a site visit. Apparently they want to bribe me to work on their issues faster by giving me authentic Canadian hockey work-desk swag.

The Bruins are beating the Panthers 1-0 after the first period, and I have authentic Vancouver stuff.

Go Bruins! Go Canucks, too… But I’m not going to get to their tasks any faster. I couldn’t do that even if they gave me tickets.

Wooohoooo! Look what happened on the bloggie’s birthday!

Happy 100k to the Saturn!

November 18, 2010. This stupid site’s 2nd birthday. We’ve reached the terrible twos!

In the last 365 days there have been 954 public posts and 156 private posts, for a grand total of 1,110 insipid wastes of time and blogger.com server space. That’s an average of 3.04 per day.

I knew I was a nerd but… but… I had no idea how bad it was!

Here’s the crazy part: It’s probably going to get worse! Oh No!

Welcome to year three, and thanks for reading… all three of you! WOOHOO!

The Bruins are playing the Rangers. There is 4:45 left in the third period. The Bruins are up 3-2. Chara and Ference are both in the penalty box for Boston. There is 42 seconds left on the five on three power play.

It’s November… November games aren’t supposed to be this stressful.

Ahhh, the B’s killed both penalties. Tim Thomas is the king of the hockey universe.

Two minutes left and the Rangers are buzzing. The Bruins are barely hanging on and Blake Wheeler gets a break away. Unsuccessful. Still three to two. The Bruins weather another tough shift but turn it around to put some pressure back on New York.

One minute left and Lundquist is on the bench. Empty net. A huge blocked shot by one of the Bruins, I couldn’t see who.

Final seconds.

The buzzer sounds. The Bruins have made me a happy red head by beating New York. I don’t care what game I’m watching, I just love it when New York teams lose.

I especially love it when its a Boston team who beats them.

The Bruins looked good today. Seguin’s goal is one that I hope we’ll be seeing a lot of for many years go come. He just turned on the jets and blew past everyone.

I really like watching this team.

Go Bruins!

2 East, backed up as far as the eye can see.

Glad I’m going West.

I know Mexico looks exactly like this:
