Checking In

[cmk418]

I feel like I haven't posted for ages. Job situation still iffy - I think I'll feel a little more secure once we have a little more to do - it's been dead there lately.

I'm going to actually participate in ScriptFrenzy this year - it's the NaNo of screenwriting, taking place in April.

I have signed up for the Justified "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" fic exchange. It seems pretty loose at the moment, but I'm a little nervous that there won't be a huge market for the secondary characters.

I'm wanting to write a Justified story about Dewey Crow - mostly a snapshot of different moments in his life. And one about Quarles because he fascinates me, but right now it's kicking my ass.

Loving the hockey in St. Louis right now. I'm getting playoff tickets for the first time in ages, so hopefully it'll last a few games this year. Not going to think about my beloved Blackhawks right now - I'm hoping they'll make it, but with Toews out, I'm not sure where they'll wind up.

Got an invite to my 25th high school reunion today. I have about three months to do something really scandalous.

Hi,

maybe it's time to flash just as the opposition's about to score a crucial goal ;-)

More seriously I thought you might be interested in an item on this BBC Radio Arts programme about Ice Hockey in India.

2:32am - 2.50am The Strand - 13/03/2012
Play this episode
The Strand :

Goddess be with you (except when the Blackhawks are playing the Jets; any other Canadian team; the Red Wings, or the Islanders *I think that's it! ;-)*

lol Ray.

Heh. I like her.

Tonight is one of those rare scenarios that I'm actually rooting for the Wings. I will always favor them over Vancouver and San Jose (and depending on the East coast team, possibly even then as well - hopefully that won't be anything I'll have to worry about after April 10)

Sounds like your boys are getting healthy just at the right time *mumbles about upper-body injuries that are obvious concussions*

Ray-
As much fun and as strategically proper as it would be, I'm not sure it would be noticeable from my spot in the 300 level.
Looking forward to listening to the programme. Did you happen to see this? You Can Play: Behind Patrick Burke's Bold Effort Using NHL Players to Fight Homophobia in Hockey
and
Sports Illustrated's Take on You Can Play - get the tissues handy

I'm willing to give you the Jets, Canadiens, Senators (go Ben Bishop!), Leafs, and the Alberta teams as well as the Isles, but I really have to draw the line at Detroit & Vancouver.

Enjoy the final stretch before the playoffs!

I didn't even know this was going on in hockey-that's really impressive!
I wish the same program would be started in all sports. It's a shame that athletes have to deal with homophobia and fear of being themselves.

I would like to see this go further as well. My brother was trying to get me to explain the "butt-pat" to my niece yesterday. It was a strange conversation. I think most sports are in a "don't ask, don't tell" scenario and that's a shame for gay kids who need role models in all walks of life.

Seen this, btw?

Mixed Marriages...

Do they ever work?

Goddess be with them,
