My Wife is Awesomer Than Your Wife

How do I know that my wife is more awesomer than your wife?

Because she just installed a media server on her desktop and we are using it to stream video from hulu.com on our playstation 3.

I told you she was more awesomer than your wife.

Devils

It is definitely October.

I just ordered four tickets (2 adult, 2 children) to the Lowell Devils home opener.

In typical Devils fashion they took my name and address and gave me a friggin’ sales pitch before taking my order. The dude on the phone sounded like he was pissing himself at the opportunity to sell tickets to some one with kids. Oh and no, I don’t want to be added to your friggin’ email list.

The best part was after I told him the number of tickets and the date I wanted he took my credit card info and then told me I could pick up the tickets at will call.

Ummm… I don’t get a say in where we sit?

Actually, no I don’t. I told him the section and a few row numbers that would make me happy and he told me he’d try. He didn’t check to see what was available, he just told me he’d try.

Way to do business guys! No wonder an obsessed hockey fan like me who had season tickets for 8 seasons no longer wants anything to do with any ticket packages. I wouldn’t buy Devils season tickets right now if they paid me to take them.

But what do you expect, right?

Quicker Post

I hate it when I open this thing up to say something only to say something else and forget to write what I wanted to write in the first place.

My sweetie has a very important meeting today. Wish her luck!

I love you Jen, you are amazing and they all know it. Best of luck sweetie.

Quick Post

Not much going on in my brain right now so just a quick post.

The Bruins stunk up the joint last night. Washington walked all over them. The only signs of life were a Bergeron goal and a Thornton fight. They happened in quick succession in the third period and I thought maybe there might be life after that, but they were unable to close the gap in the score any further.

Still… nice to be watching real hockey, huh?

My teeth aren’t killing me this morning. I haven’t taken any meds yet. Could whatever has been torturing me over the last four-five days be easing up and giving me the weekend off? I hope so.

Tomorrow is my niece’s first birthday party and now it looks like we might have the kids with us at the party. It will mean we’ll have to leave early. It’s their father’s weekend with the kids but he can spare them for a few hours in the afternoon. Now they’ll get to have fun with the baby too! Excellent!

We were planning on going up to the White Mountains for some leaf peeping on Sunday but it’s looking like it will rain. We might put it off until next weekend and take the kids with us. No firm plans yet, just thinking about it.

This is a great time of the year in all ways other than weather. The Bruins have started. The Red Sox are a few days away from the start of the playoffs. The Patriots are playing and the Celtics aren’t far away. Mission of Burma has a new album coming out next week. Halloween is close. Thanksgiving isn’t far off (although I have to work. Insert gagging and puking sounds here). If only we could have all that good stuff and summer weather too. That would be paradise.

Go Bruins.

Motion Sensors

My lovely wife whom I adore telecommuted today. While she was at home our landlord’s fix-it guy came over and hung some motion sensor lights in our driveway and (I think) backyard. I will feel a little bit more secure tonight while sitting at home watching the Boston Bruins beat up on the Washington Capitals. I will feel much more comfortable watching Marco Sturm, and Milan Lucic converting perfect Mark Savard passes into highlight reel goals. I will be a little more relaxed watching two time MVP and ultra-mega hockey superstar Alexander Ovetchkin repeatedly denied access to the Bruins goal by Norris trophy winning behemoth Zdeno Chara.

And regardless of anything else, Vezina trophy winner Tim Thomas is still The Man.

Go Bruins!
