let the bad times roll - at Metrotown

Today at Metrotown, a major mall, in fact the largest mall in BC, two dudes were stabbed. This is a mall that MJ and i have been to several times. The stabbings were probably targeted, but it could have been very easy for some random person to get in the way and get hurt. Brutal. Here is a link to a picture of it, kind of graphic.

I do have some good news! My parents are coming here for Christmas! They bought their tickets the other night. I've sort have been bugging them for a long time to come out here and they kept telling me that they weren't sure, expensive, yadda yadda. All the while my dad was planning to surprise my mom by telling her that he was going to buy tickets. What a guy. They'll be here from the 21st to the 27th. I'm really excited, i haven't seen them in over a year. That seems crazy to say because it's a really long time, but we talk a lot so it doesn't seem like its been that long.



I watched quite a bit of the Cleveland/Denver football game Thursday night. I like it when i don't check the NFL schedule for a while and they have a random Thursday night game. This was Brady Quinn's first game as a starter. I remember watching this guy when he was at Notre Dame. I especially remember him on draft day when he kept slipping and the look on his face. In case you don't remember, he slipped so low that they took him into a back room so they didn't have to show how disappointed he was that he hadn't been drafted yet. He had a pretty good game Thursday night but Denver won. Can you believe that the Colts are 4-4? Reality is starting to set in a bit with the team in that other teams aren't intimidated anymore. Peyton is still sick though. His game last week against New England was awesome. There is nobody better in the league at coming back in the fourth quarter. When they are on a drive and have any momentum at all you just know they'll get a touchdown. Its going to happen, every time. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. My friend Warren who hates Manning will send me a quick MSN each week saying either "I hate your boyfriend but my god he's good" or "Manning is such a loser but i know they're going to score". Maybe not exactly those words but something to that effect.



I'M CALLING IT: The Colts will finish the season 9-7, winning the wild card and winning at least the first playoff game. I'll call the rest of their playoff lives the closer we get to it.
