Well I have a slight correction from yesterdays journal [inlink]metalpeter,447[/inlink] for some reason I got the islanders and rangers mixed up. I knew that the team the Sabers where playing had Miroslav Satan and Alexi Zhitnic (if they are spelled right I would be amazed) but for some reason thought rangers. In any event I watched the begining of the game and saw most of the first period and then I was able to catch the end of the game as well. It is hard to judge it based on one game but the new rules seem to be an improvement so far. We will have to see if they are enforced all season long. I enjoyed what I saw of the game plus the Sabres won so that is an added bonus. I look forward to seeing more games.

Tonight is the sabres's opener. They are palying the Rangers at 7pm. I'm going to try and watch some of the game. I like hockey but never watch as much of it as I would like to. The saberes game is on MSG. There was an entire NHL section in todays paper. It went over the rule changes had The TV schedule and complete NHL scedulle and all kinds of information. I didn't read to much of it didn't know where to start. I should have cut out the TV schedule some games are on Ch. 5 candian and then OLN. I wish I was a big enough fan of hockey to get the hockey package. With that package every game is on live from every team. That would be amazing. But for me there are other things I like to watch like 24 and wrestling and going to concerts and Bandits games. I think it will be interesting to see how the new rules effect the game and see if it is more fun to watch.

[inlink]springfaerie,219[/inlink] Go sabres

[inlink]sbrugger,5[/inlink] I have been to a Leafs game it was a lot of fun. I even have a Go Leafs Go flag. But I'm a sabres fan. I really liked Cojo if I remember his real name was Curtis Josepeth. there are curently two hockey categories I started NHL and sbrugger started hockey I belive. If I would have read his journal first then there would only be one topic. But maybe someone likes college hockey. I know the Frozen four has been in Buffalo for a couple of years. It is really big deal for college hockey fans but isn't advertsed like the basketball is. In any event go sabres.

I admit I do like baseball in person. But I find it kinda boaring on TV. Sometimes I can watch it during the playoffs. One thing about baseball is the entire post season is refered to as the World Series than they have breakdowns of each round. I have always found they use a lot of abrvations or letters Like American League Championship Series I belive they call it the ALCS. I think to people who arn't die hard fans and know all the shorthand it turns them off to the TV game. Tonight the Yankee's plays the Angels. I May check in on the score but I won't watch the game not sure if it all ready started or not. I think it is on at 8. But the playoff take a long time depening on how many games they wind up playing. But they still don't last as long as Hockey playoffs.

Granted none of the pictures are pictures of the bills. But I thought I would put up a few pictures that I don't think I have posted before. Some of them are a few years old. My thoart is a bit sore i think from yelling at the bills game. I can't belive that McGee had like four blickers and didn't get a touchdown on that long return the beginging of it was amazing. My 49ers lost but the Raiders won. Desperate housewives is getting interesting. Tonight Raw debuts on USA so that should be fun I will check in on the monday night game every so often and see what is going on. What is so frustrating about the Bills is I can see they have the Talent but just arn't playing well. The O line isn't pass protecting that well. Losman is over excited and over throwing guys. I hope they can pull it togather. I think JP is the future of the Bills but he still has a lot to learn and needs to be given the time to learn it.

Ok first things first I do like the new layout to elmwoodstrip. My Internet explorer on the other hand dosn't. I know I should download fire fox. But when I go to the show all page for the journals that page no matter what I do won't get arrow keys so there is no good way to see the entire journal entry so it is a little annoying but oh well.

On saturday I went downtown to buy a ticket to see George Carlin. I think it will be a great show, I sure hope so. I saw an add for a play I want to see at studio arena (I'm not really a play guy). It is based on the movie "A Christmas Story". I don't know how the play could be as good as that movie but I would still like to see it anyways.

As you can tell I'm uplaoding or posting a bunch of pictures. I took them before I went to the regal to see Serenity. I thought it was a great movie. If you liked "Firefly" or Sci-fi movies you will love this movie. I like that there where sad parts and funny parts in it that makes for a much better story. There was action and good effects also. I give it 3 out of 4 stars and two thumbs up. If that is your type of movie I'm sure you will like it. You might like it even if you are not into sci-fi or western style movies. I also watched the 40 year old virgin on DVD a buddy had the bootleg version. Some of it was funny I enjoyed it. The quality took some away from it so to review it wouldn't be fair. I know this post is a little jumbeled is that even a word. I hope the picture quality is ok when you shirnk pictures you don't know how they will come out. I think the pictures are an ok representation of what I like about Buffalo. You have these cool new looking building like the medical campus then you have old classic building like the church pictured. Then there are great houses like Roxy's wich is now a bar (lesbian friedly, gay bar, girl bar not really sure I got to revist there website for more info.) Then you have places being fixed up and converted into new places. I think getting a good mix off all those things is what makes and will make Buffalo a verry interesting place. I think I have covered everything I needed to.
