And Today...

[la_samtyr]

After all the moving and hauling I've been doing, I stayed home and napped. The furkids are most pleased by my improved behavior. For lunch I made chili! :) and chowed down like crazy on it. Damn but I didn't realise just how hungry I was for chili. Fortunately I have enough for a few more meals -- and now that I am out of crackers to use with it, I will make cornbread. I should have made it today but I didn't feel like firing up the stove just for cornbread. Maybe I can figure out a few more things to bake when I make it -- sounds like a plan, right?

I've been seeing a lot of tributes for Paul Newman, and sadly, very few mention "Slap Shot" except in the most general of terms. Pity, because 'Reggie Dunlop' is really one of his best performances *ever*, to say nothing of being one of the few movies that gets the hockey world *right*. Of course, it's not very PC but since when did we ever live in a PC world? If you haven't seen it, you really should because... well, how about just because? Sounds good to me!

Btw, to all of my hockey sibs: what is your favorite Reggie scene/quote?

Reggie Dunlop: [looks at the Hanson brothers] Ok guys. Show us what you got.

Ok, so it may not be my *absolute* favorite but it's definitely up there.

I thought that Slapshot was probably the most enjoyable Paul Newman movie. I was not a big fan but that is one I would watch again.

My fave Reg moment is when he's in bed with the goalie's wife and he absolutely does not look down upon her for sleeping with a woman, he just accepts it and says something like "who am I to judge, ten years from now I'll probably be fucking old goalies..." Somethin like that. XD

Oh yes, 'Slaspshot' is one of the best ever movies! :)

Hee hee! Yup! Now that would have been a worthy sequel to it. ;)
