So my life has been kind of a mess for the past few months and I haven't really felt like writing pretty much anything. But more on that on some other post, because I still don't feel like getting too much into it.

Like so many others, I was shocked by  what happened last week in Boston. I have an aunt who lives there with his husband and it took ( Read more... )

 Even my cat is afraid of him. I was watching the post game interviews from last night, and she was sleeping on my lap. When Heatley's interview started up, she spooked so bad that she nearly ran to hide under the bed. :D

In other news, I'm so fucking pissed off about people who can't do any kind of sensible budjeting themselves and aren't willing ( Read more... )

I'm nearing 6k in words with the Granlund/Koivu fic I'm working on.

But moving on: I ran into a Finnish newssite's team Finland roster for Sochi, and well..

Tuomo Ruutu - Mikko Koivu - Valtteri ( Read more... )

Almost 2k into a fic and the only contact between the main pairing so far is a reference to a conversation they've had in the past. I guess it might end up being kind of a long one?

In other news, I somehow ended up watching Jonas Brodin's draft video on youtube. He's maybe kind of cute? Why is he cute? He's a Swedish hockey player, they aren't ( Read more... )

So my computer finally broke down for good. Or more like, it broke again, and I gave up trying to by it more time with new parts. Five years was a good service time anyway ( Read more... )

Soo.. Yesterday, this happened:

Jalasvaara, the Dynamo Moscow player getting pummeled is currently in hospital because of a damaged eyeball and a torn conjunctiva. He'll be under observation for at least two weeks, to determine if he needs surgery or not. He's also concussed.

As for Jevgeni Artjuhin? He'll be suspended for the next three games. THREE ( Read more... )

So a couple of days ago,

A little under two years ago scored the goal that took Team Finland to World Championship Finals and made the whole country fall in love with him.

And now, last night he got his so very long awaited NHL deput, and scored his first career NHL goal. He's all grown up.

Discounting the first period the game was a really great watch all in all. The power ( Read more... )
