Today on Waiheke Island, I saw a man in a Winnipeg Jets T-shirt(!!!) Then later I saw a little boy (who was not Serge) in a Leafs T-shirt. I talked to his mom a bit and she's from Toronto so that makes sense, but... the Jets? Really?

I read Ender's Game as a kid and really liked it. I didn't think it could work as a movie because 1) they couldn't cast enough children who wouldn't come across as just being ridiculous and 2) they would be skittish about children being killed ( Read more... )

From Penguins notebook: Blue Jackets newest rival? Not just yet:

Penguins center Sidney Crosby and Columbus defenseman Jack Johnson attended prep school together at Shattuck-St. Mary's in Minnesota and, in the process, became close friends ( Read more... )

I just got an iPhone 5s and I like it more than I thought I would. The HD aspect ratio is nice because my videos can now fill the screen without being partially cut off. It's noticeably faster and lighter. The fingerprint lock works decently so far, but it seems gimmicky ( Read more... )

I'm trying to remember what I did this year, but I don't really know. :P Maybe as I remember things I'll post about them.

I went to Chicago in August with abby20, lastcatastrophe and joolzie (and mini-Joolzie)! I haven't seen joolzie since Vegas in... 2009? and this was my first time meeting her kid. Who is taller than me!!! She is adorable and very Joolziesque. backcheck worked a bunch ( Read more... )

I guess the difference is in the superhero genre, somebody gets special powers and then they decide to slap on a costume and become either a hero or a villain. But there are so many other paths they could take! I find exploration ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've posted or even read LJ. No big changes or anything, I just... stopped doing it. Laziness.

I was wondering what Petr is up to and he's playing in Switzerland, which is probably a good situation. In the process I found an article from his Pens days and I had to archive it somehow, which is where LJ comes in. :P

Hockey is back. Hooray!!!

I had a very low-key Christmas/holidays that involved a lot of Elder Sign (the dice/card game). Christmas Eve tradition of going to Roz's place. Elder Sign was a big hit! Then watched The Hobbit with lastcatastrophe. The higher frame rate was kind of jarring at first and gave the movie a video game look but I got used to it and thought ( Read more... )
