First the amendment: It does seem that Versus is going to be carrying the skills competition and the Young Stars game on Saturday afternoon/evening… unfortunately it is not listed as such on the NHL’s website. I happened to find out while I was watching the Penguins game yesterday.
Damn… lost in the shootout? Really? Oh well… Crosby was out of the line up for Pittsburgh and most of the pressure was on Malkin’s shoulders. He did net a three point game with two goals and an assist, but the same can be said of Washington’s Ovechkin. Ended up diving into some of the stuff on the DVR last night instead of watching the overtime period… Penguins got a point as did the Capitals, so no really excitement there anymore.
So for those interested in the skills competition and the Young Stars game… Versus at 4pm PT and the All-Star game is the next day at 3pm PT
So this morning was kind of an odd one…
I stop by the AM/PM for my daily allotment of Mtn Dew and I come across a carload of trannys just kickin’ it in the parking lot of AM/PM at 5:30am…
Then walking to the bus stop I am being passed by all of these joggers… this is the most number of joggers I have seen in one day since I started taking the bus last year. Nearly a dozen of them going by me at some point along my journey… all but two of them were female.
Not seeing anything at ACC right now that would require all of these dames to be in town. Next little thing isn’t until tomorrow and not thinking they are for Endo Pharmaceuticals. Dunno… I give up ^_^
Speaking of the ACC… dates to remember:
22 Feb – 24 Feb: avoid going outside if possible… the United Spirit Association All Star Cheer & Dance Competition is in town…
18 Apr – 20 Apr: again… avoid going outside if possible… now we have the American Showcase National Cheer & Dance Competition in town…
7 Jul – 10 Jul: why do they have to do these things here? Really… isn’t there a convention center in LA? the LA Dance Magic National Finals are in town. During that same time the Elks are in town too…
6 Sept – 7 Sept: might want to go to this one… the North American Reptile Breeders Conference… ^_~
and for next year… the week to avoid coming to Anaheim… 15 Jan – 18 Jan… NAMM…
What weekend did I say the 4th Annual OMGWTFBBQ was to be held? 26 July? I am seeing the San Diego Comic-Con again trying to one-up me by having their event the same weekend as mine. Well, fuck ‘em… I have better food anyway ^_~
Speaking of which… I starting to toy with ideas in my head already of what I’m wanting to do. Not sure on a crowd size that I’d like to cater too though… depends on how much I actually feel like doing with whatever time I have available.
So yeah… OMGWTFBBQ is slated for that weekend… might get moved to the following weekend. Depends on how things are going for me I guess… will know more in a few more months.

boring evening today for me… will be doing whatever since Milady isn’t off of work until something like 8:45pm. No idea what I’ll do… maybe go earn some gold for my characters in WoW… I really should be saving for an epic flying mount…
And other than that… my day in the office should be equally boring. Most of my clients are in snooze mode now…
