Hello. Tonight is a good night once again for Canada. Yay! So many medals won as of late. On Sunday, it'll be even more intense with the hockey game: Canada vs. U.S.A. Thank goodness, I am working a day shift. Downtown will be in chaos and transit will be packed. I finally did get to see the festivities yesterday on my day off. ( Here are some pics: )

Hi! Um, were there any Santa exchanges of stories in fandoms such as SGA or SPN? I don't keep up with things like this as much as I maybe should. And my flist is getting quieter and quieter these days. Any links? Please?

You guys! We're totally having a white Christmas in Dallas, TX.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

adelate!! Aw! What a cute surprise. Thanks so much for the snowflake! Happy Holidays to you too!!

Tonight I went to the Stars/Toronto game. And it was unbelieveably awesome! Half the time I had no idea what was going on down there (I remain completely ignorant about the rules of Hockey), but that didn't matter at all. It was fast paced and action packed! One good fight, and a couple of almost fights. Plenty of rough body checks. Flying pucks. It was amazing! I wish I was right behind the glass (well, the suite wasn't too shabby so I can't really complain), because, man, when they slammed each other into the sides that was the coolest. That, combined with the sticks clicking when they fought for the puck were the best sounds. They did an awesome job to keep the crowd going! My voice went out a couple of times, but I didn't care. SO. MUCH. FUN!!



During the anthem, when the words go Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, and Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, the crowd screamed the word "stars" so loud. It was amazing!

Dallas won! 4:3.

And all the while I had a strong hankering to re-read Hawks and Hands.

I love hockey. Who knew!

This got longer than I intended, but, oh, well...

Last Sunday Patrick and I went to Dallas to watch the Pride Parade. It was so, so great. The weather was fantastic for mid September, and about 30,000 people showed up. We stood further down the road where it wasn't so crowded and Patrick's chances for getting beads were much higher. He approved.

I have a new home. It's a one bedroom and den. I bought the place two years ago before I went back to school. It is finally finished. I took possession last Saturday.( Check it out. )

My first purchase for my new place is a 46” flat screen TV. Yes, I know my priorities. Plus, I get free internet for a year as a promotion for my new place. Yay!

Embarrassing moment of the day: Today, I tried to be sneaky and printed an e-book from work. I forgot to look which printer the computer I am using prints out of. I was hiding in a corner trying to print it out when it printed in the nursing station at our ward. :X

Last night, the gang and I went to see Del Shores speak. He's so funny and thoughtprovoking and it was a very pleasant evening. He talked about his work on Sordid Lives (of course) and Southern Babtist Sissies (duh!) and he told funny celebrity stories about Rue McClanahan, Courtney Love and Dolly Parton. The event was at the small theater within the KD Studios in Dallas, "where's the local actors come from." George Eads has his grin plastered on a wall there, and signed it with "people more awesome than me." Oh, George.
