Hello to anyone who found me through kouredios's friending meme! Please feel free to hang out, comment, lurk, whatever you please. I post far too infrequently, but I'm trying to change that.

In that spirit:

The thing that amuses me most about this tweet, besides Hallsy's terrible chirping skills,

[description: Picture of RNH surrounded by reporters, retweeted by Taylor Hall who has added "why so many reporters?"]
is that it reminds me that the World Juniors selection camp was for-real front page news in Canada (below the fold, I will grant you), including an enormous section on how amazing it's going to be if Nuge plays, and it hasn't even happened yet. I mention this because I feel that the non-Canadian hockey people on my flist should know how thoroughly Canada can live up to its stereotypes. *g*



Elementary is still interesting, though I find myself failing to keep up properly and ending up watching two or three episodes at once at intervals. I think it's improving though. The plots seem to be getting better and Joan is getting a ton more to do. They're getting better at longform character arcs too. ( spoilers for 1x09 )

Still vaguely watching Elementary. Not sure what I think. ( spoilers )

More ridiculously, I've also spent the last few days watching all of Oil Change. I admire their attempts to turn two disappointing seasons into an uplifting narrative, but it can be a little silly. As much as I enjoyed a lot of it (mostly the bits everyone has already seen, like Hall/Eberle house tour), I can't get over things like this gem:

where they genuinely try to convince us that Taylor Hall getting a skate to the face in practice was evidence of leadership. Which, no. I'm willing to believe that he is a leader in other ways, but, y'know, not through skates to the face. No one should be following his lead on that.
