Like I Said...

Out of my aforementioned three goals, things presently stand at 0 for 1.

To be fair, it was otherwise a fun weekend. Judicious use of sunblock even prevented me from getting much of a burn.

I Can't Think of a Good Title for This

Every now and then I'll have a point in my life when I think to myself, "OK, so here are X number of things that I would like to have happen, and if Y number of them happen then I can be happy about how things turned out."

Well, right now I'm kinda at one of those points. There are three things that I'd really like to happen, and if even one or two of them could actually happen, that'd be great. The first one is kinda obvious, since it's kinda been the subject of half of my posts here (though I suppose "AG moving to NY" and "AG being interested" are two separate things). The second is a job-related thing that I'm not going to discuss in detail at the moment. The third is, it'd be really cool if Cornell could win the lacrosse tournament.

If I had to bet on how many of these things are actually going to happen, I'd say it'll probably be zero.

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.

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.

The Word of the Night Is...

SWEEP!
