So, it was great of work to pay for a bunch of us to go go-karting last night. Not sure how or when it happened, but sometime last night I ended up bruising the inside of my elbow. Ah well, the go-karting was fun either way.
Now I have a couple days off, and not a whole lot to do! Hopefully something comes up!
I guess I'll go find something to do around here, now, since I haven't typed anything in here for quite some time now!

Oh Lord Won't You Buy Me...
...A Mercedes-Benz. Since when did I talk about Benz, or any German cars for that matter? I thought Google was supposed to put up ads about things that related to my content? Not that I'm complaining, I DO like Mercedes. I'd love to get one...After my Porsche. :D
I know this is boring, but PC brands have two great condiments, I've discovered. If you want to give them a shot, go for it! The first I discovered was "Sweet with Heat" mustard. It's more of an orange tint, and it's very spicy, and great! The second I found this past week, it's curry mayonaise. I absolutely love it on my sandwiches! It will probably be great in any number of other things, too! Why didn't I shop at Stupidstore all these years?
Is there a better TV game show out there than MXC? I can't believe this made it onto the air, but it's just hilarious!
I think I'm more and more becoming a Flames fan. I just love the way they play.
Is there a funnier actor out there right now than Will Ferrell? Just when you think he can't outdo his last movie, he comes out with something that looks even more priceless. Semi Pro actually looks worth seeing, unlike a lot of movies playing right now.
Okay, that's all for my random musings. Perhaps I'll write again before bed. Perhaps not.

So, I decided, and I'm now a supervisor at work. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to really find out in the next few days, I think.
Not much else to say for now, but I figured I'd write that out. Yes, I'm exciting, I know.

How Do People Do This?
How can any of you write something like this daily? Nothing even happens in my life that makes me write about myself daily. And I don't really keep up on anything enough to be able to write about daily happenings, either.
But, I should at least keep this updated a bit better than I was before. Which was monthly. lol
Well, I didn't win anything on the 6/49 last night, so I'm not rich. lol
I also realize why I don't watch TV. How boring it is! How do all of you people sit and watch it every night?
I guess all of this really makes me atypical. I hardly do anything that everyone else does. Like Facebook, watching TV nightly...Well, that's all I can think of, so maybe I'm not THAT atypical.
Well, I'll come back and write more if something happens to me in the next couple hours.

Feeble Attempt
There really isn't much to write today, since I didn't do much. Worked. Went to the store. CRAZY line up at the check outs there today. But the aisles were empty. Even the girl ahead of me in line was talking to me about that. And I was only stopping in for a few things! So, a 35 minute trip to the store later, and I was finally at home.
So, this is my attempt at actually writing in here daily, or close to.
I had an incredibly exciting night afterwards. I sat on my lovely MacBook, and I watched hockey. Wow is Iginla ever an impact player. Even though he had no real offensive chances until his winning goal, just the little things he did along the boards are wonderful to watch. It's like he always comes out of the corner with the puck.
Can someone tell me what the huge deal with Facebook is? It's like all people seem to do online anymore. I'll admit I log in more often than I used to (two or three weeks at a time) but basically all I do is click ignore on all of those applications that come up. So, apologies to anyone who I don't accept those "How you know this person?" deals. It's nothing personal, I just don't care. :)
I guess it's about time to head to bed, seeing as it's closing in on 1 am! Time for some Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown to help get me to sleep.

Life Updates
So, here's what's gone on through February so far:
Work suggested I should become a supervisor. I'm seriously considering it. It doesn't change much, I'll still do the same job, but when the managers aren't there, I'd get paid more, and have to sell less. The downside is I'd have responsibility. lol
Spongee playoffs started last weekend (Feb 9 & 10) and we failed to score a goal in two games. lol It moved us into the C-Side, where we won our next game by default, as the team we were meant to play hadn't showed for their first game of the weekend, and were promptly removed from the tournament.
That meant our playoffs were extended, this time to this past weekend, well this past Sunday. We needed to win our first game in order to play in the C-Side final. What a crazy game it was! We went down 1-0 about 10 minutes in. Really nice play, nice give and go. We ended up tying it on a late power play. Poopsie fed me a great back door pass, which I didn't get a great shot from, but Tyson banged home the rebound. The cheering was incredibly loud, probably mostly out of relief, because we had been snake bitten. No more scoring meant that we had to go to overtime. Jon made some huge saves for us, and we failed to score on our only real good chance of the OT period. And off to the dreaded shoot out. We went to 10 shooters, with me missing a WIDE open cage with the 7th shot. Neil kept us alive, thankfully, and Jon made some huge saves. I happened to shoot 10th, as well, and this time made no mistake, burying it five hole. Again, Jon shut the door and we were off to the C-Side Final! Playing for a free beer!
So in this game, we again go down 1-0, except it was early. They made it 2-0 on a power play goal, the first we allowed all season. Sadly, it was after a fine save by Jon, but the guy shelfed the rebound over his shoulder. Scott takes a feed from me on a 2 on 1 and beats their goalie high glove side to make it 2-1 with about 5 minutes left. Next shift, Lou whacked in the tying goal on a goal mouth scramble. The other team was none to happy about it, but no clue why. They were whiners though, so it was no surprise. So, here we are with a faceoff deep in their zone with 30 seconds left. We win it, get a shot off, but they start clearing it out of the zone. Scott and I end up winning a puck battle along the boards, and Scott dishes the puck to me, while I'm complaining that Scott's leg was being hooked by their player. So I take the puck in, look to see that Tyson is covered, I look back to see if I can drop the puck to Scott, and he just yells "NO!" So we're now inside the final 10 seconds. I don't really see the net, but I think that's a good thing, maybe I can use that screen. So I let it go...
And it dents twine! Four seconds to go, and we've gone up 3-2! FogDuckers are C-Side Champs!
So a few of us head for our free beer, and meet up with a couple other guys at Tavern downtown, since our normal drinking establishment was busy with WWE or some crap.
We then end up playing Guitar Hero and foosball at Blaine's for a few more hours.
And yesterday was Manitoba's first ever Louis Riel Day. A stat holiday to give us a long weekend in February. Louis Riel, for people who don't know, is considered the "father of Manitoba." Of course, he was also hanged for treason.
So, that's all of February, in a nutshell. Oh, I also have actually started to log into Facebook almost daily. Anyone who reads that will probably be shocked. I know I am. Still don't see why people spend hours on it, though.
Everyone in Manitoba stay warm! It's a cold one out there! Be like me, and stay in and watch some hockey! Or download yourself some mp3s (legitimately of course, iTunes is a wonderful spot for that!) and listen to some tunes while doing some housework. Or do all three, which is likely what I'll do tonight!
