Your Sentimental Value is Quickly Depreciating [Jun. 20th, 2010|06:40 pm]
[Mood |annoyedannoyed]

Is there a reason why instead of going back 20 entries, my LJ is now only doing 10? Every time I come back here, something has changed. There are way too many complicated buttons and knobs on this console now. It reminds me of being on a PC -- and that's not a good thing.

Hey, who among you people are still on here? I want to know who is still left writing here that I want to read because I need a reason to not renew my paid account.

Hockey Kids Warm the Ice [Mar. 4th, 2010|06:50 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Mood |amusedamused]

A swell of collective gasps escaped the lips of the 6,027 people who came to watch the Manitoba Moose and the Worcester Sharks at the MTS Centre Tuesday. The game that brought a rise out of the crowd was not the one they came to see, but the intermission game between the Southdale Flyers and the Southdale Sharks – both community club teams composed of kids ages four to six who were there as part of the Timbits Minor Sports Program, a community-oriented program sponsored by Tim Hortons.

While standing with other patrons waiting for the arena gates to open, Nicole Bindoo, the mother of one of the Timbits players explained, “Community club teams get the chance to come out here once every year to play during the intermission.”

Bindoo paused mid-conversation to make sure her son, Miles, 4, was not playing too rough with his teammates.

“He’s so excited. The kids know from the start that they’re going to get to come out here and play. They don’t know when exactly, but they’ve been looking forward to this all year,” she said. “They practice diligently every weekend.”

“I play right wing,” Miles said. “I want to play in the NHL when I grow up.”

Although Miles was at the arena to watch an AHL team play, he announced that his favorite player is Jason Spezza of the Ottawa Senators.

“He’s probably the only kid who wouldn’t say Crosby,” his mother said wryly, referring to Canadian NHL star player, Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who scored the winning goal against the United States that won Canada the gold medal at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Like Olympians, Miles and the other kids tirelessly pursued the puck as it slid lazily back and forth between the two goals. They inspired more “oohs” and “ahhs” from the crowd as they wobbled on their skates, occasionally collapsing into a heap of tangled arms and legs on the freshly polished ice – the same ice that the Moose won on, after scoring 3-1 against the Sharks. The win strengthens the Moose’s fourth place position in the North Division.

At the end of the first intermission, the final score between the Southdale Flyers and Southdale Sharks was 1-1. Everyone’s a winner.

00:30 @JeffAWard "Winnipeg School Division," but "Winnipeg School Division board meeting." #

00:32 School board article has been written, proofed, and dropped off at security. Now to proof my PR SWOT analysis. So bleeding tired. #crecomm #

00:35 Proofing for J & proofing for PR in one night is a sure way to get 50% lopped off your marks in at least one of them. Just sayin'. #crecomm #

00:43 Sooo... should I italicize 'Zooey and Adam' or should I just put them in quotes? Also is it 'and' or '&'? Help me out here. #PR #crecomm #

00:45 Oooh, a press kit. Fancy dancy. *investigates* www.zooeyandadam.com/press/ #crecomm #

01:09 @JeffAWard I really should just spell-check against Kenton's blog review, no? :) Thanks, Jeffrey. #

14:10 Adorable. We just stopped behind a school bus and the kid in the back seat started waving wildly at us. Made my day. :) #

17:20 @MarkAlberto Haha! No I don't think so. This one is my idea. I don't recall but you might have suggested another Roman or Greek myth figure? #

02:29 #FEDERER FANS: Let's cheer Roger on together! Join the Fed chatroom! Please RT. #australianopen tinychat.com/federerforao2010champ #

02:50 OHYEAHBABY. My boy just broke. #federer #australianopen. #

03:11 Live Stream of the #AustralianOpen 2010 Championships: #Federer vs. Murray. First set: 3 all. bit.ly/b6USpa #

03:24 God, that felt good! SO SO GOOD. First set to #Federer 6-3. #australianopen #

03:36 In the words of David Foster Wallace #Federer's forehand = "great liquid whip." Damn, that was BEAUTIFUL. #australianopen #

04:08 C'mon, kiddo. Here's we go. Serve this out and we are gold. Gold. Gold. Let's go, Roger! #australianopen #federer #

04:12 WOHOH!!! #Federer takes 2nd set, 6-3, 6-4. Our boy is one set away from #16. Playing just amazingly. Murray so demoralized. #australianopen #

04:31 Murray keeps grabbing his thigh/knee. Injured all of a sudden? Man up Andrew. The injury excuse is not gonna win you a Slam. #australianopen #

04:36 Murray breaks #Federer. 4-2 now on the third set. He's not gonna win three in a row, so really, let's settle down, people. #australianopen #

05:10 Tie break is at 5-4 right now for Murray. #Federer serves. Can't feel my legs. #australianopen #

05:12 FINISH THIS ROGER. FINISH THIS FOR MY HEALTH'S SAKE. #australianopen #

05:23 OH MY GOD THAT'S IT HE WON. OH MY GOD. THREE SETS STRAIGHT. #australianopen #federer #

05:25 Federer def. Murray 6-3, 6-4. 7-6 (13-11). I have to find my heart before I can be cohesive. I think it shot thru the roof. #australianopen #

05:29 @FedererNews twitpic.com/10ohs3 - You make my world go round. :) #

05:31 @gelias Sorry. I don't know what happened there. I think I accidentally closed the window in my excitement. :P Good watching with you. :) #

05:33 @TheSportBird Absolutely! :D I cry every time I re-read it. #

05:40 Ohhhh nooo, Andrew. Don't cry. I'm going to feel sorry for you and I don't want to! Good playing, sport. @andy_murray #australianopen #

05:54 I found my heart. I'm exhausted. I feel like I played a 13-11 tie breaker. So nice to tweet all you #Federer Fans today. :) #australianopen #

06:06 @joelle41 Haha! Thanks, Joelle. :P #

06:17 Two weeks of intermittent sleep and near-heartattacks. It was all worth it, wasn't it, champ? :) #australianopen twitpic.com/10onk9 #

10:59 G'morning, kids. Waking up to a haze of tennis-related emails & tweets. Keep going. Don't let it end yet. #australianopen #federer #

02:27 Coming home from the Pyramid. Happy Birthday, @Kiran170! :) #

04:12 Oh, Justine, you give me hope. COME ON. #australianopen #

04:14 Henin evens the game again by winning the second set 6-3. Third set will be extremely interesting. #australianopen #

04:50 S. Williams def. Henin 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. Big effort on Justine's part. Congratulations, @serenajwilliams, #AustralianOpen Champ 2010. :) #

06:41 @whynotme12 Weather's not that bad in Vancouver. Lots of rain, but winters average at 5C. A lot like Zurich. Congrats. VanCity is awesome. #

07:22 @whynotme12 Burnaby's just a 15-min drive away. SFU's great. I visit Vancouver frequently & hope to move there soon. You're gonna have fun! #

17:38 @dootsiez You don't need to ask me. I wore my RF hat to bed last night for good luck. #

17:51 @astraldrops Hee! :D I dreamed about dark curly locks and beautifully executed forehands all night. #australianopen #federer #

17:52 @lexalacroix Baby, she's the female Federer! #

17:58 Hey TEAM ROGER, I have most of you on this list. Follow at your pleasure. :D twitter.com/glendaollero/federer-fans #

18:23 @Lockstep Hard to really get into the WTA. I don't get the same excitement from matches! Can I add you to my list of Fed supporters 2nyt? :D #

18:56 Interesting. If you run a Google News search on "Federer," all you'll get are headlines on Andy Murray. #australianopen #

20:12 @fornicat Oh darn! Yes I did! I was going to reply but I completely forgot. Thanks so much! I didn't know your dad was a photographer! :D #

20:19 #Federer always gets extra nasty when he's playing against Murray. I love seeing this very subtle Mr. Hyde version of him. #australianopen #

22:47 Apparently, not all parts of speech are equal in the eyes of #ChrisPetty: "The next thing I want to work on is to get rid of prepositions." #

22:50 Contrary to popular belief #ChrisPetty does not have an accent: "I don't have an accent. I'm the only one in the room who doesn't have one." #

23:17 It's official. The #ChrisPetty hashtag has been claimed. I just added the entry on What The Trend: bit.ly/93rrlk Edit as you see fit. #

01:01 Where are you, Vika? Winnipeg? RT @vika7 -19 outside! im seriously freezing:) #

03:31 Woke up in time to see Roger wrap up the first set 6-2. Four sets? I don't know, it's starting to look like a 3 setter. #australianopen #

03:40 Jo, you poor thing. You played so hard but how do you expect to win when you're up against a man whose feet don't touch the ground? #federer #

03:43 Our boy takes the second set 6-3. It's lovely to be awake at 3:42am and missing sleep because you're a #Federer fan. #australianopen #

03:59 My god, those forehands. Poems should be written about those forehands. #federer #

04:09 Slight flick of the wrist / Astonishing, zipping, blurry / Arrow through the heart. #haiku #federer #forehand #

04:13 #Federer def. Tsonga 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. The prettiest, cleanest murder I've ever seen. Murray, you're next, my lovely. >:) #australianopen #

04:18 MY GOODNESS. What a charming interview! Roger, I'm going to build you a stadium made out of fanatic love and house you under it forever!!! #

04:38 How am I supposed to sleep like this? Smitten for Roger, pity for Jo, blood lust for Andy. Need a shower & a cup of coffee. #australianopen #

08:06 Flat tire. Great. Couldn't wait until the weekend for this?! #

06:33 Just caught the end of that Cilic v. Murray match. I must say, I really dislike Andy Murray. 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 to Murray. #australianopen #

07:25 @ShelleyACook Sometimes, I don't either. *sigh* #

12:26 RIP JD Salinger. Franny and Zooey is one of my favorite books. :( #

14:14 @JasmineAmellie I had a super nasty fall this morning walking to the car. Legs up in the air type deal. Absolutely horrid. #wintersucks #

14:54 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, #CHRISPETTY!!! #

17:56 THIS. RT @Adam_Toy I found the template for my next broadcast journalism piece: (via @ChrisDca & @ChrisEbyCTV) bit.ly/a3TUCy #crecomm #

18:02 I laughed a lot at this today -- #ChrisPetty on JD Salinger: "He was alright. He wrote some fluffy novels." #

20:47 Roger #Federer and Jo-Wilfried #Tsonga meet tonight at the semi-finals of the #AustralianOpen. Here's the head-to-head: bit.ly/cG7nLn #

20:53 My prediction for the #AustralianOpen semifinals: #Federer in 4 sets, #Tsonga will take the 1st. #
