Lookalikes

Chris Rock     vs.     Harold Perrineau

I think it is in the cheekbones and smile.
By the way, I'm not the only one who thinks this.  Apparently, the internet agrees with me on this.

R.I.P.

I was watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on TV a few nights ago and it inspired me to post this pic.  I lifted it somewhere off the internets awhile back but I can't remember where.

Honestly, Sean Bean always seems to get the short end of the stick.  Off the top of my head I can recall him being offed in at least 4 different movies or tv shows which is just sad because more often than not he's the coolest character on screen.

Sword? Fur? Brooding expression?

Update: WOW there is an entire video dedicated to the many on screen deaths of Sean Bean.  CLICK HERE.  I won't embed it in case some of you are afraid of spoilers.  BUT there is one hilarious death that involves cows ... that's all I'm saying.  Unfrickenbelivable!!!

Awesome Name Award: Benoît Pouliot

Or, as my sister says, Benoît Poulet ...

Bonus points for the little hat accent in his first name.  Random fact: the little hat is known as accent circonflexe en français ...

I wrote this post with an Irish accent in my head...

We were on top of the world and then we lost 7-0 to the Boston Bruins

Or to quote one of my favourite movies:

It's like taking me to the top of the mountain and showing me the world, and then marching me back down, and saying, "That's what you can't have Benny, you silly great fat article..."

I knew it couldn't last forever ...

*sob*

NaNoWriMo aka Procrastinate Procrastinating until December



NaNoWriMo.  For those not in the know, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. Read here if you want to learn more.  Basically, the point of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. So help me God, I am participating this year.

My dear family and friends (since you are the only people who read this blog) before you ask whether or not I will win NaNoWriMo, let me direct you to the following song:



It's the beginning of the month so I am feeling very optimistic!

Awesome Name Award: Ruslan Salei

I had this Awesome Name Award saved as a draft for months and since his death I was a little unsure whether or not to post it.  I guess I will use this space to say that his death and those of his teammates was tragic - as was the deaths of Derek Boogard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak.  I will also add that I was particularly shocked at the deaths of Wade Belak and Pavol Demitra.

Let The Games Begin!

Finally, regular season hockey begins tonight and what a better way to start than a Leafs v. Habs game?

Now, to remind myself not to get too far ahead in my excitement, I've included a pic that I screencapped from NHL.com last year.  It was at our height - the Leafs were at the top of league ... for like four whole games.  Then the proverbial shit hit the fan but Optimus Reim came along to (almost) save us!  It's totally unfair but any hope we have for making the playoffs rests on his shoulders.  Unfair but true.

Anyways, below are two Optimus Reim videos.  They're sure to pump up any Leafs fan but especially a certain Torontonian who is abroad without cable ;)

*So, I selected my first week's fantasy team and it's a bit of a shot in the dark.  It's kinda hard to base it on last year's performance and I only got the chance to watch a single preseason game so I don't have anything to go on, really.  This is my selection:

Forwards: *Steven Stamkos*, Jonathan Toews, Phil Kessel, Drew Stafford, Jordan Staal, Brayden Schenn
Defence: *Nicklas Lidstrom*, Kris Letang, John-Michael Liles, Shea Weber
Goalies: *Jimmy Howard*, Pekka Rinne
