11 years?
Damn, the Flyers really can't win in #yeg. This is hilarious. I guess they can try again next year, or whenever. -
"No, I'm between the pirate ship and the penguins"
Hockey RPF, Edmonton division, check out Shit Edmontonians Say (with special guest appearances by the kid line).

What's that, Edmonton? On the six-day anniversary of me saying I'd re-think this hockey thing, you figured it was time for your playoff chances to go negative? There's the team I know and (used to) love.

The immediate payoff of getting back into sports fandom in even a tiny way is the way mainstream media writes:
"Most of the credit goes to the dominant Evgeni Malkin, who has stepped into Crosby’s skates in every respect..."
Clearly I've spent too long in SGA, but I'm hearing D/s AU and bodyswap.

Apparently I am procrastinating...
Just found an article about how my hometown has the highest rate of impaired driving in the province. How not shocked am I?

Things learned from the commentary track for Fiddler on the Roof:- Norman Jewison: goy (his term)
- "In Eastern Europe they grow pumpkins amongst the corn"
- The entire film is shot through a piece of silk or nylon stocking (1:40). Seriously! Jewison was discussing how to get the right look for the film with the cinematographer (who said to put something ( Read more... )

I was so furious about the federal government's wretched "by the way" on same-sex marriage last week that I wrote to my MP for the first time ever. (Conservative, former fighter pilot) Got my e-form letter today that blahblahblah comments will be passed on blahblahblah. Thank god they reversed course.
