Trepidation

Yes, I know I'm trying to be positive, but I have a hunch Airport Girl is going to take the job in St. Louis. She mentioned that it's a big firm with offices in other cities, so if she wanted to move later on she could do so without changing jobs, and I think that's going to be enough for her to stay there rather than move.

Up the Fulham!

Clint Dempsey's first goal for Fulham, and it couldn't have come at a better time

Un-Live Blogging

Before tonight's hockey game I briefly considered live-blogging it - keeping a constantly updated running account as it progressed, for anyone who might be unfamiliar with the term. I decided not to bother, as is obvious. I suppose if I had it would've run a pretty broad gamut of emotions. Nervousness early in the game, as the general pre-game consensus was that the Rangers would have to weather a heavy early storm from the Slugs; developing confidence as Lundqvist played strongly and the Rangers had some chances of their own; frustration with an anemic (abysmal, even) power play; nervousness as Fedor Tyutin, Marek Malik and then Jaromir Jagr all got dinged up over the course of the first and second periods; excitement when Marty Straka gave the Rangers the late lead; nervousness again as the Rangers scrambled to hold the lead; deflation when the game got tied up, and... man, I am just gutted right now. The Rangers were SO close to taking a 3-2 lead back to MSG for a possible clincher on Sunday, and instead our backs are to the wall.

SO close.

Even More Not Inauspicious

As I thought she might, Airport Girl got a job offer from the consulting firm she'd been interviewing with here in New York. Not sure whether she'll take it, since she's mulling an offer from a law firm in St. Louis as well, but it's a positive that she's got the offer here, anyway.

Updated: I forgot to mention that AG told me she has until next Friday to make her decision. So that's the time frame.

Really?

I'm going to a college classmate's 30th birthday party tomorrow.

Fuck, we're getting old.

Video Replay 2

Too close to tell. When the replay is inconclusive, the call on the ice stands.

It was a nerve-wracking finish, but the Rangers are headed back to Buffalo tied 2-2 instead of down 3-1. This team has really come together over the past couple of months and I think it's within their power to knock the Sabres off.

Still, I can imagine the Slugs are hopping mad after that call went against them and I'm happy to have the extra cooling-off day rather than having game 5 be tomorrow night.
