So needless to say the last week has been anything but spectacular, except for the Sabres winning 10-2 that was a bright spot, for a number of reasons.
First my computer got a Trojan virus which caused it to crash yesterday. Luckily for me though I had saved most of my stuff onto a flashdrive, which thank god is not infected. But it turns out that my computer wasn’t completely fried which meant I was able to run my virus software to get rid it. My uncle works on computers and he told me that if I could reboot it and get to the desktop that was a good sign, so I count myself lucky, but that I should keep running the virus software everyday for the next week just to make sure that the virus was completely gone. One plus to the whole situation is that I got to flirt with the cute boy from the computer services office at my school, when I went in there to ask him to check if the virus was completely gone, this morning. For right now I think everything is fixed, at least I hope, but I’m running the battery of tests on my computer just to be sure.
My second bad thing happened this morning when I feel down the concrete stairs in the parking lot at school. I landed on my side and have a huge bruise on my left thigh that hurts like a bitch and is turning just about every color of the rainbow. Well there’s certainly no pot of gold at the end of that rainbow. So suffice it to say that it hasn’t been a great two days. Plus I slept really badly last night because I was worried about my computer and the paper that I had just finished writing that was on it.
But anyway enough about my crappy life back to the Sabres who were equally as crappy in that appauling loss to Calgary. I have a feeling the pigeon was probably dropped from the rafters of the Pengrowth Saddle dome on Wednesday after the game. (Which wouldn’t hurt it anyway, it being a taxidermied pigeon, the gesture is more symbolic than anything.) I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow well if anything it should be interesting, hopefully there will be good news to report tomorrow after the game. But if not we’ll regroup and hope that things turn out better in Anaheim on Monday.
So, I don’t really have anything to say. I’m pretty wiped out because of driving in the snow, shoveling, and being at school all day after four hours of sleep.
But I do have this.
Enjoy, loves. You know I do.
Oh, and like I said on Twitter, if this game against the Flames shows even a fraction of the effort on the Sabres’ part as they put forth last night, I will be one happy girl. That was, as Kim alluded to, a damn fine game.
But like I said, here you go.
Okay, so I’m totally excited about the win last night. Like, completely. But I’ll talk about that later since it’s Cari + Derek = Fate time. And since I couldn’t really get over the shock that my question was picked last week, and being exhausted from exploring Boston, I didn’t really have the time to post about it last week in detail, but this week I do!! That is, if I don’t cram some more for my anatomy exam…
OH, BUT WAIT: HE’S OVERSLEPT. Story of my life. (Derek, get your ass out of bed and call Kiss 98.5 right now… Nick and Janet are contemplating calling “Derek’s best friend” Kyle to wake him up… HAHAHAHAHAHA Kyle.)
And lovelies? I apologize for how ADD-ish this post is… I’m half paying attention to what I’m writing, and half concentrating on the radio to see hear Derek… Because what would a post of mine on Thursday be without the Derek Roy Report? Just another post. And frankly, I think my Thursday posts are absolutely ridiculous, and I love being absolutely ridiculous.
Alright, so maybe I will discuss the game for a bit…
WTF was up with that game, though, honestly? ADAM SCORES, TIMMMAAY SCORES, AND HANK SCORES??!! AND PETEY FIGHTS… TWICE IN 12:01?????
Um, can this happen every night? But switch up the scorers every once in a while so Derek and the rest have a job in blue and gold come September 2009? Adam’s seemed to excel this year, a little bit. He’s now got 4 points (3-1) in 15 games, when his career highs were in 2003-04, with 6-14 for 20 points. Yeah, I think he’ll have no problem hitting those marks if the team keeps in up. And Timmy??? 6 points in 5 games? Okay. Just, stay out of Keith Tkachuk’s way, alright?? AND HANK!!! ily… I really do. You’re just too cute with your little celebratory shimmy and your gigantic grin while you really punched every guy on the bench, and then this:
“That’s the first time I ever got the first star, I just have to enjoy it right now.”
And Petey? You’re equally as adorable because of this:
“If we’re going by points it’s not fair because I’m never going to get [a pigeon].”
Well now you’ve got one. =]
Moving on. Really, though, I told my dad when it was 3-0 that I’d be okay with St. Louis scoring IF AND ONLY IF it were Jay McKee that buried the biscuit. But when Perron scored, I actually yelled at the TV, saying, “You’re not Jay! I didn’t say you could fuck with Miller’s goals against!!” Ohhh, what fun.
OOOH let’s talk about Timmy for a bit. Did anyone else feel like saying “KEITH TKACHUK JUST DESTROYED TIM CONNOLLY????” I thought it warranted it, at least. If Tim had been hit like that last year, I honestly believe in my heart that he would have been on the ice for a good 10 minutes, motionless. BUT THIS JUST PROVES THAT THE REAL TIM CONNOLLY IS NOT PLAYING THIS YEAR. Because there is no way in hell that Tim bounced up off the ice like that and kept playing. And the coaches realized they effed up because he left the game not much longer than that. NOTICE IT??? Yes you did. DON’T LIE. You’re only fooling yourself. Jill knows my theory that Marek Zagrapan is filling in for TC, but I’m not so sure about that anymore, because Marek is pretty much adorable in person, and Tim is kinda repulsive, actually… I’m not too sure who’s filling in for him anymore…
And now Derek is 15 minutes late. I don’t think he’s going to be calling Janet and Nick, but I don’t want to leave my radio in case he does… I’m pretty much disappointed in him, kinda like someone would be upset if their boyfriend didn’t pick her up for their date, and they only get to go out once a week. OH, WAIT, because I feel like the Derek Roy Report is like my weekly date with Derek. Yeah, I know, I’m delusional, but I live with it alright, so I guess you can too.
During the game I kept voting for the All-Star game, which took forever. There’s too much traffic on too low of a bandwidth for that to go smoothly. A webpage that would take about a second to load on my computer took 5 mintues. So then I discovered the text message voting. All you have to do is send the player’s last name to 81812. Standard rates apply. AND I HAVE UNLIMITED, so you know that I’m going to be voting allllll day long. I believe you get a confirmation text after every 10 votes. (But if you send “Roy,” you get a response that says “2 or more players match that name. Reply 1 for Andre Roy, 2 for Derek Roy.” Well, duh, who do you think I want?? Stupid phone.) But I got really annoyed when Derek cranked one off the post last night because I had just hit vote on my ballot. I really said this, too: ”Derek, you idiot, I spend all night voting for you and that’s what you give me?!?!?!”
Derek’s turning out to be a terrible Sabres Boyfriend… Kyle aside.
And I really think that maybe he’s not going to be on the radio today. Kinda upsetting because I set my alarm for 7:30 to ensure that I was going to have an acceptable attention span. So I got up early for nothing. THANKS, DEREK. THANKS A LOT.
Well, he’s now 45 minutes late, so I’m giving up. Stupid Royzie.
First thing’s first: Happy Birthday, Drew!!
Again, I told Kim that I wanted to bake you a cake for your 23rd Birthday, but she is still of the opinion that baked goods are too stalker-ish, so I caved. But Drew, understand that if I knew where your doorstep was, there’d have been a cake waiting for you this morning. I could have even made it paste-flavored. But anyways, I hope you get lots of ass for your birthday, because that’s all any guy wants, oh, and a goal and a win would be nice, too, I suppose.
I still haven’t completely forgiven you for the whole “mouse potato” thing yet, though…
But let’s get down to business:
THE ANDREW PETERS SHOW, Star 102.5
(1) Andrew seems to have a bit of a stuttering problem, which is really cute. I don’t really think he does, though; it’s early. I stutter in the morning, too.
(2) Andrew lets his wife buy the Halloween candy, but she hides it from him.
(3) Brian Campbell used to plan the Halloween parties for the team. Petey says they probably aren’t having one this year because of their schedule; he doesn’t know the plan. (We’ll see what Derek says.)
(4) Andrew insulted the guy on the radio. He suggested that he wore a lot of drag for Halloween in his childhood.
(5) He likes Entourage. Big surprise.
THE DEREK ROY REPORT. Kiss 98.5
(1) He was told that Adam Mair was trick-or-treating.
(2) He refuses to go to HSBC Arena at sunrise. He admits it probably is nice, but no.
(3) Derek got the pigeon for his OT goal.
(4) Would be a golfer if not a hockey player.
(5) Thinks Petey is the funniest person on the team. They try not to laugh at his first joke, otherwise he just keeps going, and going, and going…
(6) He dresses from the left side up. Crazy.
(7) He likes brunettes more than blondes. I have red hair… Where do I fit in?
I got gipped… Both shows were only 5 minutes. Lame.
Oh, and the TBN reports that Timmmmmaaay could be back next week. Kim and I were talking the other night and we decided that it would be fun to start a pool amongst the Sabres Blogosphere in regards to the next game Tim gets hurt during. Seriously, that would be amazing.
My mother insists that he needs to have his own hospital wing, with his own little bed, and own private nursing staff. WAITT!! That could be a bad idea… Well, they’re all in the hospital, so I guess they could stock up on the needed vaccinations and antibiotics and what not…
And tell me why, every time I watch the Pirates play online they lose? Granted, yesterday’s loss was in overtime, but still. I fell asleep during the first period (at a 0-0 tie), only to wake up about halfway through the second and find the score to the 2-1 Hartford. Note to self: Stay Awake. But Gerbe tied it up at the end of the third, but they obvs blew that. Whatever. As long as they win next Friday while I’m there, that’s alright.
Oh, and someone please try to deny the fact that Paul Gaustad is the most adorable grown man in the history of mankind. Please. Because I give you Exhibit A for the defense:
From today’s Buffalo News:
Paul Gaustad took a one-timer at the end of practice Wednesday, and it was a rocket. The puck glanced off the goaltender’s arm and continued into the net.
Gaustad raised his stick, smiled broadly and shouted, “I’m back!”
Cute! You can’t deny it. I dare you to try. And I’ll win because MJ will be my lawyer, and we all know how she feels about Paul.
OH MY GOODNESS, I FORGOT AGAIN. Two new-ish signings at Dave and Adam’s have been posted. I say new-ish because one is new, the other just got a date.
Tommy will be at their Transit location Tuesday, December 2nd.
DEREK WILL BE AT THEIR SHERIDAN LOCATION TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16th.
Is it fate that he’s going to be there exactly 6 days before my birthday? Probably not. It’s probably just coincidence, but seeing as how Thursdays are usually Cari + Derek = Fate Day, and all I could garnish from his interview this morning was that we both prefer brunettes, I’ll take this. It’s his birthday present to me. Yay!
That’s it for coherent thoughts, so I’m off to Anatomy. I’ll post after the game, while I watch the replay of the Pirates playing in their pink jerseys. And they’re not just pink; they’re HOT pink, which makes it even better, but they had to throw the black in there to man them up a bit, I guess… Anyways, I’m taping it. For those of you who care, it’s on channel 13 at 8:30.
Ugh, and unfortunately, I’m going to miss the first two period of the Sabres game. I hate having plans during Sabres games. It does no good for my relationship with them…
Paul: Hello?
Cari: Hey, Paul, it’s me.
Paul: Oh, hey!! How are you?
Cari: I’m good, but Paul? Why do you have bunny ears on?
Paul: Oh, Cari, don’t you know that Friday is Halloween? I have to find my costume still, you know.
Cari: So what are you trying to be with that getup? A modest cross between a Chippendales dancer and a Playboy Bunny?
Paul: How’d you guess?
Cari: It’s not that difficult… Anyways, let me get to why I called. Paul, are you healthy?
Paul: Well, I don’t know. Ultimately, that’s up to Lindy.
Cari: Well, please decide, because if you or Timmy aren’t ready to play tomorrow night, and Adam does get suspended for his shenanigans–oh my God, I just thought of this, but if Adam does get suspended, who’s going to take care of the Man Children?–but if he does get suspended, we need another guy, and it had better be one of you.
Paul: Cari, we’ll have to cross that bridge when we get to it. The NHL is quote-unquote investigating is, so…
Cari: Well, I don’t trust the NHL. I’m hoping at most they’ll slap him with a fine, but Paul, what if? Who would we get from Portland? Mark? So we can risk waiving him again? No thank you.
Paul: Stop being such a worry wart. You’re upsetting my aura. Hey, where are my milk and cookies for being hurt? I never got them. I thought you were going to leave them on my doorstep for me?
Cari: Kim wouldn’t let me. She said that would be crossing the line.
Paul: They’re cookies. Cookies never cross the line.
Cari: Good to know. But Paul?
Paul: Yes, Cari?
Cari: Hurry back, please. And next time don’t punch people too hard. Oh, and Paul?
Paul: Yes, Cari?
Cari: Can you tell your BFF Ryan that he’s kicking ass in the TSN Power Rankings? And ESPN’s for that matter?
Paul: Sure.
Cari: And you didn’t tell me who would watch Danny and Clarke in the event of Adam’s absence…
Paul: Um, I don’t know for sure… Maybe Jaro?
Cari: JARO??!! He’d probably try to lure them into the shower room with the cookies I’d make for you and then he’d fillet them, or something. And he’d probably hang Mr. Snuffles on a plaque above his mantle… No, Jaro; I love you, but no.
Paul: Drew, maybe?
Cari: Are you kidding me? Drew eats paste.
Paul: Fine. How about I give the job to the equipment guys?
Cari: They think a taxidermic pigeon is funny. Let me think, NO.
Paul: Well, who do you suggest then?
Cari: Yourself. Duh. So get healthy.
Paul: I’m working on it.
Cari: I’m going to school now. I’ll talk to you later, okay? Bye.
Paul: Bye…
Cari: (in a txt to Paul) Oh, and tell Pommers I won’t see him tonight at Dave and Adam’s because I have trip preparations to commence. And tell Petey that I’ll be listening to him on Star 102.5 tomorrow at 8:10, but I might have to turn him off for Derek. Okay? Thanks Paul!
