I hate Dallas. :(

Two weeks ago I got the call from Super P saying that he had an extra ticket to the Capitals game.  The game was versus the Stars though.  Supe's wife, Red, is a big Stars fan.  She is 99.9% of the time one of the coolest women on the planet but not during a Caps game where she is going to be cheering for the Stars.  Luckily, Supe and I had really good seats down almost right up against the glass on the end where the Caps shoot in the 1st and 3rd periods.   Meanwhile, Red and her group of 3 sat up in their usual seats (which are pretty freaking good seats too...I mean, front row, club level and center ice are not too shabby at the Phone Booth) and you could just glance up and easily see where they were because of her lone white Dallas sweater in amongst the sea of red.

In the middle of the 1st period there was a shot that left the ice and went up into the netting.  Everyone sitting around us lost the puck in the lights and nobody knew where it went.  Then...and I shit you not...the freakin' puck plops right down between my back and my seat.  Unfortunately, because I had Blimpie the Whale in her Parka sitting next to me, I couldn't get my arms around to grab the puck before some punk 8 year old horked it right off of my back.  Fuckin'  Kid.  Been to countless baseball games with never a foul ball coming my way and I can't even count the amount of hockey games with no pucks ever even close to my section...and I lose this one because Orca next to me with her third order of Nachos and her Nanook of the North parka.  Grrrr.

It was a fun game through 2 periods with the Caps up 2-0 but we just fell apart in the 3rd.  Giving up 3 straight goals to lose the lead just plain sucked.  Luckily Ovechkin got his second goal of the night to force the OT but didn't produce anything there.   Being up close for the shootout was pretty nice though...Here is Nicky's Goal in the shootout (and that is Supe losing his shit and shaking the hell out of me and the camera).



Unfortunately that was the only one we got.  :(  Fucking Turco and his 52 save night.

Fucking Dallas ended up winning.  So we headed down to the Capital Grille to get a post game drink and a bit to eat.  What came out of the kitchen for our table really cracked me up.  Gotta give it up for the guys in the kitchen:

Dallas does indeed suck.

Still was a fun night.  Thanks to Supe and Red for the invite.

Now ...  GET OFF MY LAWN!!

Meester Sunuvabeetch

Somtimes you just gotta do it...

It's been a long time since I did the stroll...

It has been over a year since I posted that last video of the nephews so I thought it was time to revisit the place.  So i did a bit of cleanup, reworked the site a bit and decided that I would start posting here a every so often.

There have been some pretty big changes in my life over the last year:

1. Deb.  Who knew that too much GM would lead to a great year with pretty much every weekend being a short little vacation.  She hit me pretty hard and fast.  I feel like a better person with her in my life.  Great girl.  Fun.  Can't navigate a parking lot for shit but that can definitely be overlooked.  Thanks for a great year and all the bacon.  I still can't believe in almost a year we haven't even had a single argument.  Should I be worried?
2. Unemployment.  Yeah, like I am unique here.  It kinda sucks but I am not really all that upset or worried.  I had a job I loved (and i am still looking to stay in the industry...just not much luck yet) but the whole vibe at the Old Studio was really changing and people were scrambling trying to stay afloat as the boat started taking on water.  I was actually kind of relieved to be let go.  The frustration levels were really up to a boiling point.  I still loved my 7 years with the Studio and I don't wish them anything but the best. 

 Have a had a few interviews recently that have a promising feel to them but nothing solid yet.

But anyway....going to start updating this little spot on the intrawebs with my nonsense and random shit I find while surfing.

So until the next post....GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

SpiderAngus and the punching bag

SpiderAngus didn't look like he really understood the punching bag at first. But watch his hands, they never leave the "webslinging" position. So funny. And Noah really didn't like his big brother standing in his play area. He warns him with the "Down, down, down" and then immediately goes in for the punch.

Merry Merry Merry Mas

Noah very cute with his very cute wishing of Merry Christmas and then using his toys to beat up anything in his path. And Angus in his Spidey costume showing off his webslinging skills

Dee Dee Dee Bitch

Not entirely sure what he was trying to say here. I know he saw this on TV and I know the last word is supposed to be "punch" but it sure doesn't sound like it.

oops forgot one. :)

Angus, Sam and Captain Huggyface

My Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve came to visit and brought their Grandson Sam with them. To top off the visit Angus came up to visit as well. Cute little guy that is the spitting image of his Dad. There was this video...i don't even remember what the actual video was either...but there was a 10 second little bit with this dancing cartoon monkey called Captain Huggyface that they just loved. Angus mimics every move and I think Sam just wants to dance. Very cute.

Foto Ninja!

It is funny to walk into your parents house and find them both snoring away on the couch. Had to go get the camera and ninja this pic.
