Just a Quick Note to Say...
The Edmonton Oilers have progressed to the Conference Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs!!
No, seriously, that's really all I have to say. I'm very excited, although it still feels surreal to me, largely as a result of having been unable to watch the actual game. See, the problem is, the NHL failed to communicate with the University when developing this year's playoff schedule, and as such I missed a pretty hefty chunk of the Oilers-Sharks series. Including tonight's deciding game.
Maybe I should lodge a formal complaint with the league. After all, it's not as though they're doing anything like, say, scheduling for maximum viewership for out East. They wouldn't do something like that.
Anyways, next up: the Anaheim Mighty Ducks on Friday. Puck drops at 7. Keep it up, boys!

Only have one thing to say in response to that: "Wonder who Edmonton's going to have to beat to take the Cup this year?"
The Ducks are going to encounter a massive Oil slick!
GO OILERS GO!!!

And as of this post, there is 12:15 left in the third, and Edmonton is up 2-1. Not that you'll get this in time, but this is my proof I followed the game like you asked. :)
Cheers!

And Edmonton locks down the win with a squeaker of a goal. Edmonton wins 3-1!!

Thanks Brent! The delayed play-by-play was much appreciated by both myself and the little sister.
In other news, I'm going to have to miss the Firefly Trivia game, since it's at the same time as a panel by Jacqueline.
Who, by the way, served us ice-cream and then sat down with us to chat for like twenty minutes last night.
*screams like a little girl*

...hmm? Oh, sorry, just enjoying the mental image of you screaming like a little girl. };)
That is so cool, lady! Sorry you had to miss the Firefly, but hey, you got ice-cream. Not a bad trade.
You'll have to tell me all about it when you bring me my present. You are getting me a present, right?
*puppy-dog eyes*
Cheers!

Yes, dear, I will get you a present. Not a very big one, as the price of gas is astronomical across the prairies, but a present nonetheless.
And I DID get to go to part of the Firefly Trivia Game. Since I couldn't stay for the whole thing, I got volunteered to be the scorekeeper for the first half. I got a Fruity Oaty bar out of the deal though. Go team me!

You are the best Friend's Girlfriend ever! I was actually joking about the present, but I won't say no.
And that's cool with the trivia contest. I actually downloaded a graphic for the Fruity Oaty Bar the other day. Pretty neat.
See you when you get back, pretty lady.
Cheers!
