A Sword Has No Strength

working on a lundqvist meme what is my life


brandon score moar plz ;a;

Section 406. :3c

Canucks are still in first by a point despite losing in OT and Detroit winning. Rangers drop to third overall, but play Carolina on Thursday and have three games in hand over both teams. Boston lost tonight, so the Eastern lead stays at nine points. Pittsburgh is in second in the ATL, but is still also nine points behind the Rangers, and the Rangers have a game in hand. Sweet.

Also, from yesterday, because I finally found an image with all seven of them in it:

Happy Leap Day! :D

Today was a good day. :D

•I got paid. This is always a good thing. Of course, they still owe me money and as of this morning, I haven't heard word of when I'm going to get it....

•I went skating. And it was great! I got there just after two, and they didn't have to clear the ice until 3:45, there were so few people there. I felt a little awkward at first, being there alone, but then I just looked at it as exercise -- don't need to do anything fancy, just need to skate -- and I felt much better. I wish they had cleaned the ice and sent people around the other way, because I was starting to get sore on one side from going in the same direction for so long! It felt nice to have relatively open ice and a decent amount of room to pick up some speed. And not-cruddy-within-twenty-minutes-ice to skate on. *7*

•Found a beautiful Zelda book at Kino. I must have it. I don't care if it's $60, I'll find a way. It's got so much cool STUFF in it, like the alphabet and syllabary codes, and some pictures of Tingle and shit. Goes through all the games, the main characters. I nostalgiaed pretty hard at the old stuff. MUST BE MIIIIINE. Tax return. Yes. I have decided. This is what I've earned slaving at Baruch. THIS BEAUTY. I also got a strawberry rubber stamp and a cute little hedgehog eraser in the stationery section. I thought I saw a KOALA eraser, but alas, it was an elephant: the trunk was a separate piece.

•The Rangers and Canucks won. After that BRUTAL game on Tuesday, the Rangers bounced back tonight with a 4-3 OT win against Tampa Bay. What were the highlights? Ryan Callahan's power play goal to open scoring on our side and Brad Richards' goal to win the game. Marty made a couple of sweet game-saving stops on Steve Stamkos (my god, he has beautiful eyes. A little freaky, but beautiful. Biron, not Stamkos. XD). Wasn't watching the Canucks game, since it was on at the same time as the Rangers, but they won 5-2: Daniel got the first goal and Ryan got the last one.

And speaking of my Ryans being beasts, the Sabres shut out the Bruins --the Bruins! -- yesterday, SIX to nothing.



That's right, Ryan. You keep being sexy. (Thanks, jennybenz. :D) And it's especially awesome because it kept the Rangers three points up on 'em.

I mean, some not-so-great things happened, too. The Islanders beat the Flyers Tuesday, but Philly edged Toronto 4-3 tonight, and the Isles fell to the freakin' Habs. Scott Gomez scored, you guys. Augh. Screw them. I mean, I don't like the Islanders, but only because I have to; I'd pity them otherwise. But Montreal? EW. And next year's Winter Classic is going to be Toronto and Detroit. I'm excited about Toronto -- hurray, a Canadian team! -- but ... Detroit? Again? We just had Philly, again, and last year Pittsburgh, again. Can we please feature teams that haven't been to the Classic before we double up any more? That's ridiculous and stupid. Yes, let's make hockey a bigger deal in places where it's already a big deal. 9_9 Anyway, back to happy.

•Yesterday, I saw a video where Momoko got pushed around. And it's fucking hilarious. She's almost twenty, I really wish H!P would knock it off with her cutesy/vain persona already, because it's really annoying, and it makes me hate her. :D She has so much potential to sound cool, at least, like she does here, or better, here. Hard to believe that's the same person. :|

•I'm tired at a decent hour! So I'm pretty much going to read until I fall asleep right after this. I went to bed late last night, and woke up -- magically -- early this morning, without an alarm clock, then I went and skated and suffered a bit of food coma so I'm done for the evening. But, yes, a good day. And I hope tomorrow's even better! :D

I hope everyone had an awesome new year. :D I was at Leigh's party, and it was fun. Most of the guests left around two in the morning, but a couple (literally a couple) stayed behind and we were up until five bullshitting. When we woke up, we bullshitted some more! It was lovely.

Today, since I wasn't going anywhere near Philadelphia, I jumped on the subway for a very small (i.e., just us) Winter Classic viewing party at Es'. ( In short, the Rangers game back from two goals down late in the second to win 3-2. )



OH, MIKEY. this was pretty much the only .gif i could find. i mean, the others were the same thing, just from different angles; this was the best of them.

I mean, the only real bad news I've got about the Rangers isn't even their fault: since my cable company quit carrying MSG as of the new year, I can't watch the vast majority of games on television anymore (not that I was before, but now I can't even try to sneak them in). Thank goodness for the internet -- because I know my parents wouldn't change the service after twenty-odd years -- or I'd be a most unhappy camper. Or maybe I could chill with Es and Olua more, since theirs are different. :V

Also awesome about today: Berryz Koubou finally announced their next single. It sounds like it has potential~ and I'm diggin' those outfits. :D

So far, 2012, so good.

While I was kept rather busy at work today (wanna piss me off? Give me fifty of the same things to do, but piecemeal), I've done nothing since getting home. Rather, I've done a lot of one thing, and that thing is sleeping. Since six or so, I've slept about four and a half hours. It's eleven. I'm bored and I have nothing to do and I'm feeling mopey and lonely, so sleep is the best fix of all three of those.

I've been relatively flying through A Clash of Kings. Now that I have a better picture of what's going on in my mind, it's not so boring. I'm now second (of two) in the queue for The Omen Machine, so I need to read faster! Hopefully, I get a lot of that accomplished tomorrow. Not looking forward to it at all. Just gonna keep telling myself that in twenty-four hours, I'll be back home and comfortable. Holidays keep getting worse and worse and I would rather have some teeth pulled. Should look into getting that mini fridge for next month, and a rope ladder so I don't have to leave through the house (THIS IS HOW BAD I AM).

So it looks like ichiP! and P*P are going to collab on Munasawagi Scarlet for AnimeNEXT. As it was my suggestion, I'm pretty damn excited. I don't know how we're going to work this out, and I should probably start sketching it up just to do it. At times, it hits me: OMG BERRYZ KOUBOU but other times, I'm pretty indifferent because chances are I'm going to miss them just like I do everyone else, and whatever ichiPeach! (which is what I call us in my head, because Paradise*Pantsu is a BAD IDEA) winds up doing will be just another show. All my panels will be scheduled during Berryz' shit, watch (though if they don't post group rates soon, I'm gonna prereg alone. Not like I won't get my money back). :V

Here's where jennybenz's meme runs out; rather, it has one question left, but I'll save that for next week. Question that I'm snatching from the other meme is 20. Who has the best rivalry? I don't know too much about other rivalries around the NHL (though Leafs/Habs seems like it would be fun if I were a fan of either team Toronto (because ew Montreal)), but here's what I do know:

•I've been told I should hate the Blackhawks like a good little Canucks fan should. :D Obviously, also Boston, those fuckers. >:(
•jennybenz, help me out. Who don't I like because of Buffalo?
•More like the Islanderps, amirite?
•They're from Jersey, haven't they been punished enough? (No.)
•More like the Broad Street Bullshit, amirite?

Herp, locality. Three teams within ~100 miles of the Rangers, derp.

Speaking of the Rangers, they fell 2-1 to Florida tonight (Canucks are winning 2-0 after two, though!). Okay, so I guess our next seven-game run will start on Friday. We've got, um... awwww, Washingto-- dammit, Philly on Saturday?! D: The third game is against the Penguins, and while I didn't include them in the rivalry bit, I can't wait to beat them: Crosby's back, so I hear, and it's always fun to make everyone's favorite princess cry. >D

So, maybe I'll listen to the third period, maybe I'll read a little more. I won't eat because I'm not hungry, but I'll certainly be back in bed before midnight. Just... continue ignoring me, it's okay. I'd rather you did; it's not like I'm not used to it.

Rock on with your little rainbow flag, Seychelles!

The bill passed the Senate! New York is now the sixth state to legalize gay marriage! :DDDDDDDDDDD MY STATE IS FINALLY COOL~



ALSO THIS


(how badass is that?!)

.gif spam the comments if you want to and Theresa, I know you want to! A CAPS IS FINE TOO

So I was watching the game tonight and the announcers mentioned how some dude on the Astros was leading the league in stolen bases. He had about a dozen more than the dudes in second place. I was watching the game by myself -- there was no one else in the house -- and I couldn't help but quip aloud, "Seems like he's run away with that title!"

Caaaarloooos!

That, combined with the pun in the title, means I obviously need to be put out of my misery.

Pelf was on the hill tonight. Seems he's gone 3-1 in his last four. HO HO HO THAT ONE. Angel made a great play out in left-center; the camera angle showed Beltran alone, originally, and the ball was off to his right, no chance in hell. Pagan comes outta nowhere, stretches, and catches the ball. Because he was off balance, he did a little roll over his shoulder. When he came up, the ball ice cream coned a little, but he still had control of it, but got caught up in his own leg and rolled again.

Phillies also lost, Yankees and Tampa lost. Hawaii stomped all over Georgia in the LLWS.

In non-baseball shit, I've been working on Special Generation -- one of our new songs for NYAF, and the one I'm responsible for choreographing and teaching -- all day. It's tough, man. I got the first part of it all right, mostly, but deciding what to keep and what to scrap is tough, especially when I can't see what half the girls are doing most of the time. I've got about ten different tabs open, each with a different vid from a different angle in a different quality from a different time (some have Maiha, some don't, lol), but they help only minimally; they'll clear up one thing here and there, maybe. Guh. Back to work.

(LOL New tag.)

Oh man, it's the end of the year. *dreamy sigh* Looks like I'm gonna make it, folks! I'm still happy. It was damn near sunset when I left work today -- it might as well have been, for all the buildings -- but I still found happiness and peace in the half-lit sky as I walked through the park on the way to the train station. I love that park. ♥ And while looking at the sky, I noticed a giant clock on the side of a building that I'd never noticed before! It was on time, too, which made me wonder how long it had been there, and who keeps it in working condition. Or maybe it was stopped and pure chance brought me by at exactly 4:23. I suppose I'll check tomorrow morning, if I'm not so groggy that I forget.

And I'm going to have to winterize my bed soon -- it's not yet, I can't believe it -- but I'm okay with that. December 21 is rapidly approaching, which means the sun will slowly start to come back into my life.... *_*

Little!Jimmy inadvertently gave me a fantastic idea for Decemberween, just something to spruce up our desk a little bit. We're going to be working on this project over the next couple of weeks. Should be fun, if I can get all the materials together! That was pretty much all that happened at work: I cleaned up some of the loose papers on my desk, and the dance shot for Watashi no Mirai no Danna-Sama is finally posted, though, so I ran through that once before I pretended to toy with the website (there's nothing more I can do on that front, it seems). I got quite a bit of it wrong. XD

Made it to the library today and scanned Sunday's souvenir photo (much clearer, yes? Ice's hair got a little lost thanks to the greenscreen, lmao (DERP DERP HTML FAIL, you should be able to see it now)). And now I'm home.

Oooh, Decembertime cards! For those of you who've already requested and given me your mailing addresses, I bought cards for you today, and they'll be in the mail tomorrow afternoon (I meant to have them out today, but since I'd left my wallet at home yesterday....). If anyone else would like a Decembertime card, please let me know, and drop your address in a comment; posts are screened (posts that do not contain addresses will be unscreened). As for my penpals, if you'd like a Decembertime card instead of a letter -- WHICH I WILL SEND I SWEAR, I just gotta find decent stationery! All that I can find is stuff left over from Girl Scout camp XD -- that's cool, too, just say so. Let me know if you'd rather get a winter card instead of a holiday card, too; I don't wanna step on anyone's toes.

Hmmm, that's about all. I'm going to see if I can't do a little work on that Decemberween project. :3
