The Day After Blush!

What an AWESOME fundraiser that was Friday night @ Blush; good times, ample booze, great prizes, fun times. Not sure what the final tally was $$$-wise, but it sure seemed like a great success. Big Kudos to Big Al for going through all that stress to put on an incredible event and many thanks from GM Bernie Young (as posted on his Facebook) to all those CTO players and supporters for helping out.

There was even a good turnout for the "after party" at Papa Georges -- nobody makes better 3am pizza then Papa G's.....by the time I got home it was 4am!! Sadly, I knew I was going to pay for that.

Yesterday was a complete right-off -- sleeping in until noon will do that to you. I have a laundry list of stuff I wanted to get done (blogging was one of them) but couldn't get to it until today. I'm still playing catchup this morning, doing the "YOU MUST DO's" first before I get to the "it can wait's".

I still need to come up w/ the last podcast of the summer ball season (one of the "it can waits"); problem is....my voice still hasn't recovered -- "this week's PodCast hosted by........Barry White!". Not sure if it was the alcohol, the fact I was feeling under-the-weather all day (even during our 12-1 romp at the little rink), or what....still sucking on throat lozenges today, though. Oh well...the podcast will get done when it gets done.

Schedule Practices & "Friendlies"

Looking at this week's schedule (and you thought the ball hockey season was over)....Team MB will be hosting practices Mon & Tues followed by a Wednesday scrimmage against CTO. CTO has a practice scheduled Tuesday evening, and then that Wednesday scrimmage. The Dark Wolf guys (little rink) & myself have a Mens A Final on Thursday against coincidentally some of the Cereal Killer players; and I'm not sure what the Cereal Killers plans are -- rumour has CTO scrimmaging against them the following week.

So, as you can see, lots of practice times and scrimmages scheduled from now until the August long weekend.

MOVIE-BREAK: Impromptu Review -- Batman: The Dark Knight

For those who HAVEN'T seen Batman: The Dark Knight, add that to your "MUST SEE" list -- great movie, superb action, good comical moments, great storyline -- a little on the long side for me (bring back the 2 hr movies -- 3hr epics coupled w/ the Upsized Fountain Drinks are NOT a good mix). Seriously, though, I can't wait for the next batman, and yes, Keith Ledger's performance is DEFINITELY NOT overrated -- it's undoubtedly the best movie he every made, and possibly the BEST portrayal of the Joker to date.

ps. rumour has it coming out in IMAX format shortly (in Canada) -- I wouldn't mind paying to see it on the GIGANTOUR screen (especially that part when.....oooops....I won't spoil it).

gotta go enjoy the rest of the day...poolside...catch all of you loyal readers later.
