ksmithWatching Rachel Maddow on Countdown. I like her. Unlike other guest hosts, she doesn't try to emulate Keith Olbermann's style and delivery. Only KO can do KO. Yes, at times he sounds like the class smartass. But for the most part, his guest hosts have sounded like the class feebs trying to imitate the class smartass, and not quite succeeding.
A week ago at this time, the Ninc cocktail reception was winding down. I think I was heading out to dinner at a local Irish pub, of which there were several in the immediate area. I cannot for love or money recall what I had. However, the next day we went to the same place, and I had the best grilled tuna steak I think I've ever eaten.
What I should have had at some point were the fish 'n' chips. So many folks ordered them, and said that the fish was really tasty. Of course, I tried to be good, sticking with grilled foods and low carb...until the day I came home, when I cracked and got an order of batter fried cod from the local fast food place. Somehow, it didn't quite measure up.
Writing on tap for tonight, with the first Rings movie playing in the background. The Blackhawks are out of the playoffs, thanks to the Predators' win. It's too bad. The franchise has come to life in the past few months, and they have some great young players. Next year, all the games will be televised, and I'm looking forward to them. Must get hold of a jersey at some point. Must learn the rules of the game at some point.
Cubs lost. They're 1-3 so far.
Tax refund appeared in checking account via the magic of electronic deposit. Nice.

Date: 2008-04-05 04:10 am (UTC)If you're shorthanded, icing become legal. I know, it's kind of odd to get an advantage when you're serving a penalty.
In the pros, icing is also called off if an offensive player gets to the puck (after it crosses the end line) before a defensive player. It's kind of the "long bomb" equivalent.
It's also what got Kurtis Foster's leg broken a little bit back. An Anaheim player (Mitchell?) was trying to get to the puck before Foster could touch it, but accidentally hit Foster and knocked him into the end boards.
