Yes, I am alive. I'm a bad blogger.....just like others I know! So what is new with me? I'm sick right now with strep throat. No, not fun at all. I hate being sick. I had such a fun long weekend, I guess I'm being punished for my fun. Nothing x-rated, just some good ole drinking and dancing kind of fun. My cousin Cassie came to town (from Calgary, yeah if I was her, I'd want out of cowtown too), so her and another cousin, Nathan, and I went drinking and dancing Saturday and Sunday night. It was a lot of fun. I hadn't been out drinking/dancing in forever. So recently, I purchased a piano. Yes, a piano. I used to play when I was younger, but haven't touched one in years. I used to move around a lot but I'm a bit more settled than I used to be. I'm in the same apartment for almost three years. That's the longest since I was 18 and lived at home. So I decided it was time to buy my piano. It's a gorgeous piano.....and I'm loving playing again. It will ...967 days ago
Okay, I really suck. I mean, yes I do but seriously I suck. I have not blogged for months. It's been over three months. I blame the Edmonton Oilers. They have sucked the life out of me. They failed to make the playoffs this year. Hell, they failed to win more than two games in the last 20 games. FUCK. You're really testing my loyalty but I am a lifer. Oiler fans are lifers. We cannot and will not abandon our team. If an Oiler fan happens to do that, they're probably from Calgary. Calgary is the bandwagon city. I mentioned back in January I was thinking of looking for a new job. Yes I did, and yes I found an amazing one. It's more fun, it's more work (seriously, it's a good thing. Who wants to be bored all bloody day? Not me), it's more responsibility and the most important reason; it's more money! Hmmm money. However, a new job means no vacation to Europe this year. I get three weeks paid vacation (plus a week and a ...

Damn, it's been almost two months since I posted here. I have no excuse. I do have another blog, devoted exclusively to my excellent Edmonton Oilers. However, my Oilers have been sucking ass big time lately, draining the life out of me. Although this week they played better, but still lost the last two games (one in OT and other in the blasted shootout). December was a horrible month for them. I think they had only TWO wins and NINE losses. Yeah it was not pretty. I'm glad December is over and done with. We all know what the Oilers need: defensemen. And fast. This team is on life support and if Kevin Lowe doesn't make a move asap (within the next two weeks), the season is practically done. They are three points out of the playoffs right now. The next two weeks brings 7 games. Make or break time. If this team tanks still, it's selling time. That means Ryan Smyth is a goner. He's a free agent next year, has turned down several good deals thus far so I'm guessing ...

'Tis the season folks. Yes Christmas is just around the corner. You know what that means; presents!!!! So I've spent the past week putting up my xmas tree, and bringing out all my decorations. With all the snow we've been getting lately, it just feels like Christmas and winter around here. So it's about a month and a week until I get to go home to Manitoba. I was home back in June so it'll be nice to get back. I was checking out flights last week, and yowza....the prices are horrible. For a roundtrip flight from Edmonton to Winnipeg, it was $700. Ouch. I've never paid more than $500 before. I'll just need to be patient, wait for the seat sales. They'd better be a bloody seat sale coming soon. So I have today off work. Yes that is awesome. Gotta love those long weekends. I would prefer a four or five day weekend, but you don't always get want you want! hehehe. So what shall I do on my day off? I'm not sure. It's snowing right now, so I ...1122 days ago
Well it's been awhile (damn I just looked, my last post was in August. Damn that's crazy). I don't have much of an excuse for my absence. Just the same old.....busy with work, friends and hockey. Sounds exciting eh? Oh yes it is! I've been working extra lately. Gotta love that overtime. Ch-ching!! But that should be all the overtime I will working for now. So combined with going to hockey games, hanging with friends at the pub or going to movies, I barely have time to come online. I'm also taking a course, just for fun. It's early British history. I just felt like taking a course, having some fun. So how about an Oilers update? Did anyone watch the game last night? Oh what an awful game . The Oilers were down by 2 goals with a couple minutes left in the game. They pulled the goalie, and scored a goal. It was now 3-2. The Oilers get another goal. It's 3-3. Wait, the ref waves the goal off due to a "hand pass" off the face-off. ...
