I successfully accomplished next to nothing this weekend. Watched three hockey games, one in person, and caught up on some much needed sleep. It was a great game between Colorado and Detroit (though the outcome could have been better) and then a sleeper between Toronto and New Jersey. The best of the bunch was definitely the one I went to see today. Sadly, the 67's lost to the Plymouth Whalers, but the game was top notch. Big hits and big plays made for an entertaining game. The only problem was that I believe the referee was paid by the penalty since not five minutes went by without a call. And it doesn't help that the 67's penalty kill isn't so great.
And my eBay watch finally showed up on Friday. A nice looking example of Swiss craftsmanship. The neatest part about it has to be the clasp as I have never seen another like it. So I guess I've gotta leave mostly positive feedback for buddy, but I think I'll leave it for a week or so to let the guy know how it feels to wait for no apparent reason.
As for my grandfather, he seems to be doing better and better. Last night, my mom had to get him to stop doing his exercises for a few minutes just to talk to me on the phone.
The scariest thing of the week has to be that my other grandma managed to track me down with a phone call on Thursday. I haven't talked to her since me sisters wedding last August and my birthday last February before that. Turns out that she wanted my new address here so that she could send me a birthday present, so now I am eagerly awaiting my $50 and a card.
As an added bonus, Friday was the release day for the newest Magic set, Guildpact. I got a few packs and the novel that corresponds to the set that evening. I got a couple of sweet cards, including the red/green dual land Stomping Grounds. I'm now looking forward to this Friday when I go down to Ottawa U to play a draft with Guildpact. And I may even be able to find a foil card that I need for my angel deck.
For a weekend where I didn't do anything, I sure have a lot to talk about from it.
Smell ya later.
