It snowed.....
or it was raining slush out near West Seneca earlier today.

The Sabres game was fun last night. They won big and at the rate goals were being scored, joviality was the order of the day. Hug and High fives were being exchanged, you'd thought the war was over. I strolled down to Cobblestone after the game & work and had a quiet postgame beer. I was on my own, but it was fun to people watch after a common goal (a win) was reached. Nothing but love in the room.

A late night and an early morning leaves me glad to sit. My fandom keeps you going, but my 42 years want to pay for it the next day.

I heard one of my own voiceovers for the first time last night on MSG -- a commercial for showtime. It's stupid to get excited about it, but it is an ego trip nonetheless.

Gonna veg in front of "scrubs" and "sopranos"

Have a good evening ya'all.

Off to Dinner at Cecelia's with people and everything

"Glee!"

oh man! When still a highschooler episode 1 came out and I made such an ad with Darth Maul on a bootleg copy of photoshop. when episode 1 came out. It was on the back of a fanzine and everything. No pocket protector could out-dork me that day.

Arena pics
I don't have Matthew's photgraphic gifts, but here are a few looks from the Sabres game last night. From the empty arena before it gets started to the sea of people who got to sit, wish I was one of them after the 1st Overtime.

And then the paying customers showed

If you're not a hockey fan, it was kind of cool to feel the building alive. A shared sense of excitment was definitely present, even if it left me drinking alone.

Had to work tonight
at the Sabres game. The build up was exciting. The arena had an electicity to it. You could feel the antipation. I've been sort of crushing (How pathetic is that??) on one of the women who works the games as well. She told me "we wait out the traffic at cobblestone's, you should come." Being no fool, this seemed like a signal. My inner refrigerator light was flickering on. I got a few customers, made a few sales, answered a question or two and then the game wouldn't end. Security doofus forgot that I'd been there for almost 20 games this year. Suddenly I'm a distraction? I had to move. THat caused the Flyers to tie the score, which caused overtime, which caused my usher to go home which caused my morale to sag, which is drectly related to my cd player skipping and sitting here at home posting and drinking on my own. Such a cruel chain of events is proof, god does have a sense of humor.

I'll post a few talentless pics of the spectacle tomorrow

Just wanted to say that was a great Game on TV last night. That penality the Sabres got was a big mistake and almost cost them the game. Glad the one in the end. Hopefully they will win on Monday and that will bring you better luck.
