Show them to meeeeee!

So... it's official. Our snoopy Saw fans leaked the Lionsgate publicity sheet/EPK that had the plot synopsis and a partial cast list.

Cary Elwes is on it as Dr. Gordon and the plot synopsis is enough to give you the impression that his bitch ass is alive. I am so furious.

We can't question whether or not Dr. Gordon will be in Saw VII because of this and because John Raybin responded to it within a day. He said they had an autograph session with Cary and worked really hard to keep his involvement a secret.




So much for that.

So long Stanley...

I don't know what universe the Avs were in these past two games. You pull Anderson with a minute remaining in the 3rd when you're down a goal against a team that has been outshooting you all series? What in the hell...

Now we're out of the playoffs. Maybe we'll wake up and learn how to play playoff hockey next year. Damn it.

Adios, Mr. Urban...

Finally! Tim got voted off American Idol!
He should have gone home the week of the Top 24 when he tried to sing "Apologize."

However, I cannot stand listening to Michael Lynche anymore. He should have gone home the other week and I still can't believe the judges saved him. I'm hoping Country Week with Shania Twain is the final straw for him.

LOL

WTF Boyle?! HAHA!

Thanks for shooting the puck into your own net in sudden death OT and giving us the win!





I would be throwing rocks at him right now if I was a Sharks fan. Holy crap. That was just unbelievably strange and hilarious. I'm not complaining, though. Now the Avs lead the series 2-1.

Jimenez the beast...

Congrats to Ubaldo Jimenez for gaining yet another win, pitching a full game, and for throwing the first no-hitter in Colorado Rockies history.

You are this team's future.

#52...

You are the reason we lost tonight. San Jose wouldn't have had the OT powerplay opportunity if you would have been playing smart, playoff hockey. Dumb shit.

Someone remind me why Adam Foote is our team captain again.

Hints, hints, hints galore...

I watched Saw II tonight and picked up on something I never noticed before. When Amanda and Daniel finally get caught by Xavier in the bathroom he tells Amanda that he just wants their numbers located on the back of their necks. Amanda asks him how he expects to get his number if she doesn't tell him what it is.
Now... how would Amanda know about the numbers so quickly unless she was in on the whole thing? Xavier came across two other livings players, Addison and Jonas, and neither of them had any idea why he wanted to look at the back of their neck. Jonas unsuccessfully fought to resist it and Addison thought he was just being an asshole by leaving her in the razor box to bleed out. Amanda gave Xavier a weird look before making this comment, "You still don't know your own number..." I perceived it as a look of, wow he actually figured out that clue on the tape.
I am keeping in mind that Amanda had played before and could have just as easily figured out what the number clue in the tape was, but I don't think she would have figured it out if she would have been a regular player like everyone else. No offense to the character but she didn't seem to be the puzzle-solving type. Her original test consisted of stabbing someone to retrieve a key. Her second test was a riddle and she failed it and failed it hard. Yes, I know she was blackmailed by Hoffman but at the rate she was going I don't think she would have passed anyway. Jeff was so clouded with rage he would have most likely shot anyone he came across.


Point being, it is just another one of those subtle hints they gave us before the big reveal. I didn't pick up on it until now.
I love how I am able to notice something new each time I watch a Saw movie. They pay so much attention to detail. I love it.

Cabin fever...

I hate being stuck inside when it's lovely outside but you just have nothing to do.

I am going insane with boredom.

This is going to be epic...

I finally ordered a video camera.

I can't wait. Now I can start making some movies. I've wanted to do this for so long.

Clinched!!!

Our win over Vancouver last night pushed us into the playoffs!

Hell yeah! I want the Stanley Cup!

Insulting...

I read an article this morning in regards to our troops in Afghanistan. Apparently the military is not going to renew contracts with food vendors at the bases overseas because the officers believe the soldiers need to, "remember they are at war and not in an amusement park."

What in the hell are they thinking? We have placed American institutions, such as food, overseas since WWII when Coca-Cola manufactured soft drinks overseas for the troops fighting in the war. Now they're going to deprive our troops in Afghanistan, that have nothing, of their Pizza Hut and Burger King. That is ridiculously insulting. I can't believe it.

It might make me a little more angry just because I work for AAFES and my company is what puts those things over there. I'm curious to see if it was the military going to AAFES and they agreed or what happened. If HQ agreed to pull out of the warzones that defeats the purpose of our slogan. "We go where you go."



I'm angry.

Back on the blog...

So I got back from my week in Minnesota this past Saturday. It was totally needed. I had a really enjoyable vacation.

My brother is just as fun as always. I beat him 5x in a row in MLB The Show.
My sister in law baked all week. She made strawberry upside down cake, strawberry muffins, triple chocolate oatmeal raisin cookies, strawberry pancakes, and blueberry scones. Yum!
My nephew is adorable. His permanent teeth are pretty much fully grown and we had many Nerf wars.

We went up to Duluth and into Superior, WI on Wednesday. That was neat. Lake Superior is cool and the water was extremely cold. We couldn't stand in it long enough to take a picture. It was the kind of cold where you feel like you're on fire, as odd as that is.
I went to a craft brewery (Summit Brewing Co.) in St. Paul with my brother and did a tour. It was a small place so it didn't take too long. Most of the tour took place in the main area with a guide and a powerpoint presentation. I'm not too much of a beer person, though. I gave a majority of my samples to my brother.
We also went to a Minnesota Twins game at the new Target Field. That, my friends, is an amazing baseball stadium. It is really, really neat. The HD scoreboard was epic eye candy. I wish Coors Field had a scoreboard that looked that good.


Long story short, I watched a lot of movies, ate at a lot of restaurants, had many Nerf wars, and played a lot of PS3. Everyone needs a vacation from time to time.
