Wow, a second post in August!

Well, it's almost time for my annual Crickets and Mums post, but until then, we'll just have to settle for some Metal Mania and Phelps Phever. (See, I'm in Philly, so I can spell fever with a "ph" if I want to.)

I've been working a lot lately, and taking pictures when I have free time, and that has pretty much left me with little or no energy to post over here. I've been posting on my other blog, but that is not ready for primetime yet, so you'll just have to wait.

I don't usually care for the Olympics, and before last week, Michael Phelps was a name I heard other girls squee about quite a bit, but I had no idea what all the fuss was about. Well, here it is 7 days later and I am fully on board with fish boy. Pretty much rushed home from work one night so I could watch him get number 6. Now that his run is over, what am I going to watch? Track and field? I think probably not.

Okay, my upstairs Tivo is acting a fool, and won't switch over to Metal Mania for me, so I guess I will have to go downstairs and catch a few videos....

I hate August!

bored to tears

What a dork! He is wearing a shirt and tie under his jersey!!

Random Flyers updates

Aww, it looks so nice from the outside!!!

Damn. The offseason sucks so much. My prediction for August is 100% more suckiness than July, even though I am not sure that is even possible.

Anyhoo, the Flyers are trying to liven things up a little for me, by announcing the preseason schedule. Sure, it was already announced, but now you know where they are going to play. And their big exciting day is September 27th, when they play a game at the Spectrum.

Um, okay. I get that that's where we came from and all, but have you been to the Spectrum in the last few years? Cuz I spent a season watching the Phantoms there, and I don't relish the idea of going back there anytime soon. It's slippery, sticky, and moist and there is no hot water in the ladies room. I mean sure, it's laden with Flyers history, but sheesh. I've been spoiled by the Wachovia Center (and that is not saying much)!

Oh well, you know I'll be there, especially since it is against the Hurricanes (Michael Leighton alert)!

Also, for all you hockey hotties out there, a reminder that auditions for the Delta Dental Ice Team are August 24th. Probably a great way to get to see the games for free and skate real close to the goalie and annoy him. And please, no comments about the ice team and how sexist it is. The girls really don't bother me, but girls that complain about them really do! :)

Oh, and while I'm busy offending y'all, I wanted to point you in the direction of another blog that might offend you too. You may already know Wrap Around Curl from the Hottie Hockey Dreamy Team series that's been going on all summer with I Mean, We Got Guys. (Wow, that was a poorly constructed sentence. Oh well.)

Anyhow, Wrap Around Curl is, um, irreverent. Yeah, that's the word. She has a no holds barred, if-you-don't-like-it-fuck-you attitude that I am finding to be quite refreshing. So check it out and feel free to be offended. She's also looking for a new NHL team to root for, so maybe you can help her with that.

That's all for now. Peace out suckas! And cmon Soph, Jess, and Kmart...POST SOMETHING FOR ME TO READ!!!!

right on schedule!

I was worried about my last post about the Flyers messenger bag. I remembered that I had a similar post last year about some custom Converse in orange and black. I was concerned that my off season activities were way ahead of last year...however, as you can see from the screen shot below, the Flyers gear posts were almost exactly one year apart. Weird.

I'm not sure what it all means, other than that I am a bored Flyers-less hockey blogger. When is rookie camp?

Buy this for me...

Okay, without a lot of hockey going on, I get bored and want to spend money on stuff. Check out reload bags, where they will pretty much custom make you a sweeeet Flyers bag. Nice!

A few notes from this week...

* Twizzlers do not taste good right after you brush your teeth

* Ryan Parent is growing a Gator beard, while Gator seems to be shaving every day

* I love watching hockey when it is between two teams I am not attached to

* I love watching Brodeur get scored on

* Is it too early or too late to climb on the Habs bandwagon? Cause damn, they look amazing right now

* It's March. There are only 17 games left. Yikes.


Tough week ahead...

Hockey weather!

Oh man, this cold rainy dreary weather is killing me because it seems like October but it's not!!! But it does give me a good excuse to throw on my favorite jersey and take a nap.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz...wake me for the home opener.....
