Engaged!

I surprised Leslie at the beach in Newport with a Mastiff puppy who had an engraved tag around his neck that said "Will you marry me." I then got down on one knee and proposed. She said "Absolutely Yes."

Here is a picture of me, Hobbes, and Leslie.

Worst party at the gay bar ever

Seriously. The night started well. Leslie showed up to do laundry. Simon and Carrie popped in with a bottle of wine. Fun. Dustin and That Guy showed up after their final. Then things took a turn. Trailing Dustin and That Guy were about seven or eight first-year law students. Leslie and I spent the rest of the night praying and hoping that we were not as obnoxious and unbearable as this riff-raff when we were 1Ls. There were of course exceptions (and Chris should not be lumped in with these 1Ls of course) but a couple bad apples certainly spoiled this lot. The D-bag of the night award however goes to Brandon who actually tried to punch Tony when Tony was trying to prevent Brandon from driving drunk.

Let me break down where we stand:

Nasim

Invited back:

8-1 over the Chiefs and the maddest goalie ever seen in a bronze league

Awesome game last night. A ton of goals and some tempers flairing. I made friends with the opposing goalie who may or may not still be planning to murder me. I see now why Sean Avery loves being the gadfly of hockey. To inspire a goalie to drop his gloves and attack me the second the final buzzer sounds is hilarious.

Goals:
Brian - 2
Me - 1
Jon - 1
Jon - 1
Joey - 1
Cody - 1
Jasper - 1

NHL Suspends Avery for SO Going There

How is this quote so offensive that Sean Avery gets suspended indefinitely?

“I’m really happy to be back in Calgary. I love Canada. . . . I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds."

Suspended indefinitely for hurting Dion Phaneuf's feelings? Since when does hockey care about who's dating who? And the term sloppy seconds is not patently offensive either.

Maybe I've been hanging around Ethan too much but this really doesn't seem offensive at all to me. Tacky and annoying, definitely, but that's just who Sean Avery is.

The rivalry game - a few points

1. I am out of shape. Out of what shape you might ask? I'm not even out of the best shape I've ever been in; I'm out of the shape I was in just a few months ago. Damn. I need to skate more.

2. The ref said that both our teams could be in the silver league. I'm guessing he's averaging the sum talents on each team.

3. I didn't get a chance to fight Kyle because Cyrus and Peter are apparently non-stop ice-hogs on District 5. You're going down next time Kyle.
