As I begin writing this, snowflakes of death have been descending for over a day from the heavens and wreaking their vengeance on my fellow D.C.ers and me for our vanity, blasphemy, and worship of the god that is the Beltway. Or, we’re just getting a really big and unusual winter storm.
Since it looks like [...]
. . . with an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach. Massachusetts elected a Republican senator and the Red Wings lost to the Washington Capitals despite controlling the game. Coincidence? I think not.
EVIL IS AFOOT IN THE WORLD.
A new desktop background image goes on my laptop today as I sadly have to take down the 2008 Red Wings Stanley Cup celebration photo, and I don’t get to replace it with the 2009 one. IP had told me multiple times that he was in favor of whatever series outcome led to me getting [...]
Again, the title says it all.
What can I say? Woot! An Original Six face-off; this is going to be fun. I am desperately hoping that the Bruins can pull it off in the semi-finals and defeat Pittsburgh so it can be an Original Six Stanley Cup series no matter what.
This (plus no more Caps games ruining my commute home) makes [...]
Wings, you know I love you (and thank you for winning your first playoff game, guys!), but your slogan this year? I think I said it for last year’s slogan, too: Guys, c’mon.
Anyway, you’ll find me in the corner, cheering silently for Osgood and Company, rolling my eyes at the Caps fans who a) only [...]
When Obama reached his podium last night, IP started banging out the opening notes to Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” You know, the stamping-clamping beat. I started laughing, then launched into Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping.” No, we hadn’t had many margaritas as of that moment. But we were probably echoing the fangirl/fanboy attitude of the congressmen/women who [...]
In this dream, I was wandering around the Ypsilanti Meijer, contemplating a visit to the liquor aisle even as I wasn’t sure exactly why I was there. I had the vague feeling that my sister and mother were somewhere in the store, shopping for goods and sundries. I wandered aimlessly, not heading towards the liquor [...]
During a pleasant IM exchange:
WordNerd: GAH! The Caps* won’t stop sending me goddamn emails. I have asked them a million times to be removed from their lists. They don’t listen.
Dorkus: Grr. Your heart belongs to another team.
WordNerd: I know! I just emailed their guest services telling them to leave me alone. I almost put [...]
Forgive the Red Wings-centric posts of the last few days. I will eventually get back to examining life in the D.C. area, but for now, I am obligated as a Red Wings fan (since 1989!) to celebrate for a few more days.
Am I the only Michigander living outside of Michigan who is getting sick [...]
