What a weekend...

Well, here I am again on another Monday. What a wild and wacky weekend that was....

I cut out of work a little early on Friday. Got home and it was down to just me and Jeff here for the weekend. We ended up watching 'Die Another Day' after an arguement over whether or not the missile they fire to try and blow up the satellite is launched from an airplane or from the ground (for future reference, it was fired from a ship). Towards the end of that movie, we got to arguing over whether or not John Kleese (the new Q) was the Black Knight in Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. Little did Jeff know that I had that movie, and so we watched that one too.

Whilst we watched the movies, we had a few drinks. All told, we each had 2 'beer' (see picture), a half of a bottle of wine, and some whiskey. In case you didn't guess it, we didn't catch most of the second movie, and we never did figure out if Kleese was the Black Knight. Oh well, task for another night...


Saturday i spent at work, which was mostly uneventful. Ken picked me up afterwards and we raced back to my place to watch the rest of the Senators game, which ended quite pleasently in an 8-0 victory over the hated Leafs. And if that wasn't sweet enough, Toronto's little midget enforcer Tie Domi got his nose broken in a fight with our new fighter Brian McGratton.

But, unfortunately, all glory was fleeting for the Sens as they got beat on Sunday by the Flyers. Sounded like a decent game (which unfortunately wasn't televised) but we took way too damn many penalties.

Sunday also saw the annual militaria show down at the Sportsplex. I added another airplane book to my growing library. If I had of had more cash, I likely would have added a bayonette or sword to my collection. One of the neatest things there was a WWII Nazi dagger set that belonged to someone called Adolph something...

I finally finished 'Halo 2' on Sunday too (yes, I know I'm 8 months behind on that). Damn those bastards at microsoft for leaving it off on a cliffhanger!!! How long am I going to have to wait for closure now??? And how much is it gonna cost me if it is released for the XBOX 360??? Damn those clever bastards....

I've created a blog.....Oooh, waffles.....

Well, I've been searching for something to fill some of my spare time with and what better way than writing down some of the totally random thoughts that are rattling around in my head. Now people that I don't know, from places I've never heard of, can be completely up-to-date on what is on my mind. Or not. Whatever...

Right now I'm rather disappointed that my Senators got their first loss of the season last night, to Carolina of all teams. There is a joke in there that the Sens are the latest Hurricane victims, but it may be that it's still to soon for that sort of thing.

Aside from that loss, I am VERY happy that hockey is back. I was so lost last year without it. I even find myself checking nhl.com several times a night to see what is going on in the league (see previous comment about spare time). I am quite pleased about how the Senators are playing so far this year and have every reason to believe they will challenge for the cup this year (and also that the hated Leafs will not).

Well, this seems long enough for an initial/test post...

Smell ya later...
