The Modern Log

As a Rangers fan, my reasons to love Sean Avery are many and varied. And who could get into them all right now? His latest attempt to make our lives better is a website, which features glories like in-flight photos of the boys eating junk food in shorts.
You’re a good man, Sean Avery. And if [...]

When Blair Betts scores a goal, and no one else is here to celebrate, do I still scream and clap like a maniac? You may have been wondering this, I may have been wondering this myself, but I (and my neighbors) have an answer. In related news, my throat hurts.
Yesterday I had so much cheese. [...]

We were channel changing last night and hit Miley Cyrus on “The Tonight Show” and after about 15 seconds I started screaming for Dollie to change the channel. I don’t know what it is about that Cyrus child, but I find her so hateful and horrible. She was making my skin crawl. Does anyone else [...]

This morning on the channel 11 morning news, they played “Chickenhead” over a preview of the next segment (because Linda Church was going to make chicken, of course). That’s Project Pat’s “Chickenhead,” just so you know we’re all on the same page. Best morning ever. Best lyric ever: “What? You need some gum.”
Speaking of liking [...]

Wait, so Gomez is out with a bad leg, the Rangers are playing with no fire against a half-assed Devils team, we’re down 1-0 and I have to watch the Devils feed of the game because MSG is showing the Knicks? That’s it. I’m drinking.

The hockey game was great, but when you’re there, you miss some important things. Like Sam Rosen announcing, “LeCavalier and Colton Orr going at it.”* Ohhh. Yeah.
Dismiss me all you want, straight male hockey fans, but I appreciate this game the way you do, only I get the bonus of additional levels of appreciation that [...]

The Rangers played the Thrashers on Thursday night. I was stuck late at work because my life is an incredible suck, so I missed most of the first period, including this.
The fight would have been brutal even if it ended after 20 seconds. It didn’t.

My favorite thing about Colton Orr (the NYR fighter) is how [...]

I had a very nice weekend. Definitely five stars. Then the week started again and we’re back down to zero.
The Ranger game was a bag of butt. I would talk more about it, but honestly, everything surrounding it is making my blood pressure rise. I can feel it. I mean, the game was pretty lame, [...]

Tonight (and tonight only, whoo!), when things were looking grim – Toronto shouldn’t be this hard – and I was shaking with the effort of restraining myself from punching the alarmingly drunk Canadian man behind me in the mouth (not worth losing a job – working in the building has it’s great disadvantages), I turned [...]

Winning last night was amazing. Starting the season 5-0 is an absolute dream. But there wasn’t much to enjoy. Yesterday afternoon, Rangers prospect, Jagr’s Omsk teammate and beautiful child Alexei Cherepanov dropped dead after a shift on the ice. (Dollie’s seen video taken at the arena; I don’t think I can watch.) He was 19.
Now [...]

Maybe it’s the best thing for you, but it’s the worst that could happen to me.
PS Honestly, how is this man not my best friend?
PPS Dallas or not, I’m still totally naming any boy-child I raise Sean Avery. Get into it.
