The plan so far is to use my paycheck on this coming Friday to put the rest of “First-and-Last-Month” down on the loft and Simone and I will get the keys on Saturday. In the evening we’ll be driving up to the cottage to spend the long weekend, but during the shortened week following we’ll be able to make a few trips over in order to widdle down the collection of crud we have to move.

On the 27th, we’ll be moving the big stuff. My trigonomitry came in handy when I had to figure out if my queen size mattress would fit in a cargo van. Since it (barely) does not, we’ll be getting a cube van. Now the biggest thing worrying me is how the hell I’m going to get the sofa up the stairs.

So far I’ve managed to sell off about two dozen tapes of my VHS collection. Looking at my shelf, it really doesn’t do more than make a significant dent. I’ll have to figure out where to donate the remaining movies. Email me if you want the list of what’s left.

Terribly boring entry. I’m sorry. I’ll make some sarcastic comments about Toronto. That should liven it up.

I’ve been extremely disappointed in Toronto hockey fans this week. I’ve heard many Leaf fans cheering on Buffalo simply to support the team trying to eliminate the Ottawa Senators. Why? Because they’re Toronto’s enemy. These fans have a memory old enough to remember the last cup (even if they weren’t born yet), but they can’t remember that it used to be BUFFALO who were Toronto’s enemies.

And rather than play the “Support our Canadian Teams” card for this point, even though it’s valid, I would rather use that card for how there’s very little coverage on the Edmonton series. Game 5 went late, so I’m not surprised the results weren’t printed in the papers, but they didn’t even have the game on the sports cap on Breakfast Television the next day. I had to go online to find out that Edmonton had won the game, after San Jose fans ‘boo’ed the Canadian national anthem (the mayor of San Jose has since publicly apologized).

I’m not an NHL fan in the slightest, but I’ll jump on whatever bandwagon will bring the Stanley Cup to a Canadian city.

Anyone who cheers for Buffalo over the Sens can get out of my country.
