la_samtyrNo car, which is a pain and damned awkward. Walked down to get mail which is good for my health and all but not so good when I need to do some serious grocery shopping. Maybe if I buy a wagon? Hell, I know there used to be wagons around when I was a kid but they probably all disappeared *if* Mom didn't decide to "loan" them to someone. Of course if they weren't loaned they would have been stolen, so it's kind of the same thing. At least LeeAnn enjoys her walkies. ;)
The Buffalo/Ottawa game did not turn out as I had hoped. Damn. I watched it too; well at least until they finished regulation and then cut away to the Preakness. All I can think of is: Yeah, no wonder hockey doesn't have a bigger following in the US. Why the hell NBC had to carry the playoffs *and* the Triple Crown I will never know. If only some other network was carrying the Triple Crown... but then they would have cut away from the OT to show some golf or poker tournament. Tomorrow... I just hope that tomorrow's game doesn't go into OT. If it does, I will be seriously pissed. The bad thing is the Hastings cable company carries Versus but this one doesn't, not even with their upgrade package. However...
One of the guys I know stopped by to watch the last few minutes of the game (mostly because I refused to turn it off and he needed to borrow some of my dad's electrical stuff). He didn't realise that *Calgary* was playing until I explained that was *not* the Flames playing... "Oh? The jerseys sure look alike though." :::weeps and gnashes teeth::: and once he found out about Emery, he said "Don't worry--it will be more popular once there are more 'men of color' playing it." Ok, so it's not an exact quote but... :::headdesk, headdesk:: This is exactly why I prefer to live online--as if you didn't know that already.
Time to eat and try and find something on tv to watch. Or not, as the case may be.
