"The man who views the world at 50 the same way he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life." -Mohammed Ali

Pandas won last night 5-3!! They are Canada West Gold Medalists and off to the Nationals in Montreal in two weeks. It was the last home game at Clare Drake Arena for my cousin Danielle so it was an emotional affair but she held it together and got the insurance goal in the 3rd period to secure the victory. It was also one of the best games I've seen because at one point in the second period the Manitoba Bisons took the lead. Yikes!

Of course just now, as the season ends, I feel I have finally mastered the rules and regulations as an off-ice official, which is rather bad timing, no? But I couldn't have screwed it up that badly because I have also been asked to return next year so I have a job! That rocks.

Sadly, reading week was filled with more reading than drinking. Equally as sad, my week was filled with more movie watching than reading. It's all about balance, doncha know...tee hee. I saw Hitch with my ladies. Hitch dragged in parts but was entertaining overall. We saw The Motorcycle Diaries, but I passed out about 3/4 of the way through because it was so slow. The Duke recommended Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara which was surprisingly good. I have always been very negative when it comes to McNamara because of his work with the World Bank. I have always thought of him as an indifferent bastard, but this movie showed me another side of the man....He's not *as* cold or calculating as I had once believed and he admitted to making a lot of mistakes. It is too bad the movie did not focus more on his later years at the World Bank though...I would love to hear what he has to say about his experiences given the critical time he was there.

I have also been introduced to a show that airs on Showtime which I had never heard of. It is called The L Word. At first I was a little taken aback by the soft-core porn nature of the show and I must admit it's not really my flavour, but the story line is very interesting and I found myself hating the Jenny character. She's a real piece of work so I found myself watching just to see how she would screw up next. It is like a Sex in the City/Queer as Folk type show. I am amazed at what they can show on cable...
Well, back to school tomorrow and I have to admit I am actually looking forward to being back on a schedule again...it just makes me so much more productive.
