TUpdate

I’m sorry Blue Sportcoat readers that my blog hasn’t been updated in a week, but I’ve been busy studying for my Stats exam, which I’m not sure how well I did on. But I don’t feel like talking about that. In fact, I don’t really feel like getting very deep into anything, but I do feel like updating and talking about whatever I want to talk about…

Last Friday I got to meet the famous “Cat Lady”, Laura. It was a complete fluke as a group of the “Hockey guys” decided last minute after hockey that we weren’t going to go to our usual Robin’s Donuts and instead decided to go to Boston Pizza. Patrick and I sat with Laura and her friends: Brian, and the so-called “MSN Pervert”. If you want to read more about this meeting or need a different perspective you can read about it on Laura’s Blog.

I enjoy hockey in three different ways: Playing Hockey, Playing Videogame Hockey (NHL 2K5), and watching and keeping track of NHL Hockey. Right now, keeping track of the NHL is very interesting! You’ve got the highest number of free agents ever and with a salary cap, players are starting to play where “they want to play” instead of whoever will pay them the most. This isn’t the case all of the time but it is now more common than ever. It will be facinating to see what all 30 teams will look like on Oct. 5th.

My roommate and our friend recently went to a little store beside the Taco Time on Memorial to buy fireworks this past week and were setting them off in our back yard. This brought me so much joy, especially when they would generously allow me to light a few off. I felt like I was 13 again. We were like three boys. We’d light the fire work, run away from it and then watch it blow up, and then laugh our asses off. This past Sunday I made my way to the store and bought a box of bottle rockets (Bang! Into the air… Bang!), 4 Vulcan Airbombs (Like a super bottle rocket), 5 Roman candles (10 flares), and another one I can’t remember the name of but I guess it’s supposed to look pretty cool. Anyway, last night I decided to set off a Roman Candle in the back yard. Now usually the fire works have a pointy end to stick into the ground or come with a stand. The Roman candles have neither. So I decided that if I stuck it in a empty beer bottle and set it on the grass it would be okay. I lit it and ran away to the deck… Boom! (A green flare)… Boom! (A red flare)… Boom! (Nothing) what? Ryan and I looked down but couldn’t make out what had happened. Boom! A Red Flare right at the neighbours fence! Boom! Boom! Boom! Alternated red and green fireworks being spat out at our neighbour’s fence and exploding! I’ve never watched a Roman Candle go off wanting so bad for it to stop all ready. Ryan found this the most hilarious thing in the world. In the morning there was a straight black line on the grass when the Roman Candle had been laying. Oh well, Ryan and I got a good laugh out of it.
