You didn't think with all this wedding crap I'd forgotten about sports, did you? No, duh...I had hockey tickets to the Cane's game Tuesday night (thanks parents, Merry Christmas to me). Great hockey tickets, lower level, directly behind the South goal. And yes, it was the game where we beat Detroit (the only time we play them this year) and became league leaders. For 30 minutes, anyway, until Ottawa's game finished up and they were 1 point ahead of us and Philly. For anyone that knows hockey and the tremendous style of play that the Western Conference teams have always held, did you ever think the top 3 teams in the league would all be Eastern Conf?

In other news, NCSU also kicked some ass on BC, but it's not like BC was playing their best. And I am officially done with Dickie V. *WARNING* UNLADYLIKE SAILORLY TALK ABOUT TO COMMENCE* AVERT YOUR EYES IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR SOME HARD-CORE, DIRTY TRASH TALK* So, how many Duke/UNC dicks can he suck at once? I know that's awful, but it's the only way I can put it. I almost didn't want to watch the Duke/Maryland game b/c he was commentating, and we know how much Dickie V loves Duke. I have no problem with Duke. I think they're great. I think Coach K is amazing (if one step away from having a stroke) and I do agree that they have the best homecourt advantage in all of college basketball. But do you really want to spend the whole game talking about how great they are? Could we actually get some basketball analysis? And why even bring UNC up during a Duke game? Yes, they're great again this year, too, even with all the youngsters, but we all new ahead of time that Hansbrough (or however you spell it...don't care that much) was the best recruit of this season, so we don't have to keep pretending like he's a surprise phenom. And hey, I know we're slightly overrated, and we lost to Carolina, but while you're on Tobacco road and spewing forth your love of NC basketball, how about mentioning the team that's currently ranked in between Duke and Carolina? Okay. Done with that. I am glad Duke kicked that Maryland team down, though, because 85% of State fans will tell you that after Carolina, our least favorite team is Maryland.

In other news, I had to work late last night, so J thought he would enjoy some breakfast-for-dinner, something he can never talk me into. And he loves me, so he made extra, and I have two crepes, some peach-amaretto jam, and homemade whipping cream in a neat little bowl in the fridge. Yummy.
