CONDOLENCES DESPERATELY NEEDED. Ugh, at least the contingent annoyed that Toews seems to get a free pass for everything should be happy? He's definitely not getting a free pass for his performance in the playoffs so far!
OH MY GOD MARE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. So, for the week that I had off, my team lost three games in a row, bringing them down 3-1 in the series, and the last loss was pretty much Toews' fault? I was so incredibly depressed; despite having the week off I got very little sleep, because every time I closed my eyes I would start thinking about their previous loss, and I went around in the daytime constantly feeling like throwing up.
And then I went back to work, and they won three games in a row plus the series.
CLEARLY NO MORE VACATION TIME FOR ME UNTIL PLAYOFFS COME TO AN END.
And, oh man, I watched Game 7 of Leafs vs. Bruins, and it was completely brutal - I'm not even a Leafs fan, and I felt pretty bummed out by the way that ended? The guy I watched it with is a huge hockey fan, but not a fan of any particular team; he's slightly more partial to the Leafs, and after that loss, he was all, "...I'm not watching the rest of the games. Just going to bed."
It's written by a humor blogger who's also a gigantic Leafs fan, and he shows that he can be just as eloquent even when he's not being funny.
It also links to an article that I've been quoting at work:
Twenty minutes after the Yankees eliminated the Sox, I called my father to make sure he was still alive.
And that's not even a joke. I wanted to make sure Dad wasn't dead. That's what it feels like to be a Red Sox fan. You make phone calls thinking to yourself, "Hopefully, my Dad picks up, because there's at least a 5-percent chance that the Red Sox just killed him." This was written back in 2003, before the Sox exorcised their pinstriped demons and won the World Series in 2004. But

And I am v. glad that you're finally enjoying Pratchett, if only just this one book. :)))

I personally adore the City Watch series - I saw that you didn't love Guards! Guards!, but it gets better, I promise. XD
(And uhhh if you are okay with ebooks, I may possibly have those lying around somewhere? *shifty eyes*)

Hockey is an emotional sport, okay. XD
