On this day in (hockey) history…
Two years ago, Somara and I drove up to Dallas to see the Flyers play. It was a pretty enjoyable game. The Flyers got off to a strong start of 2-0 thanks to two goals from Mike Comrie (now playing … Continue reading
Rescue, Reference & Reminiscing
Well, I dragged my butt too long and now I’m backlogged with three (relatively) new books for D&D from WoTC and Paizo. Where are the others? Good question. It appears that the other publishers have really petered out lately. I … Continue reading

Christmas 2005 Rocked
Christmas 2005 was a mild little affair at Chez Maggi this year. After being put on medical leave for two weeks due to throat issues on 2004, everything was looking up. However, this year hit past the mark to exceed … Continue reading

Week 12 of NHL 2005-6
The Flyers continue to move forward through the injuries! We’re also in first place in the Atlantic Division! Last night, the shootout victory over the Florida Panthers was tense. Firstly, the Panthers aren’t going anywhere this season, the Southleast will … Continue reading

Mission Hill
Last week, season seven of The Simpsons appeared on DVD. Besides it being the season which started with the conclusion of who shot Mr. Burns, it is also the season Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein took over David Mirkin’s position … Continue reading
Week 11 of NHL 2005-6
This week Team USA was announced. I’m excited about all the different players going to represent the US in Italy next year yet I can’t hide my disappoinment over Jeremy Roenick being left out. Not as in snubbed, just not … Continue reading

One Hundredth Posting
Sorry about the delays in any further news on my site. I was hesitating on what I wanted to post for my 100th entry but then Somara contracting the flu and passing it on to me took care of that. … Continue reading

Afternoon with Santa
Attention to all my friends with small children! I went by Santa’s post-Christmas Winter Home in Austin since I’m his primary housesitter and cat care taker (yes, he has more than reindeer). Here’s my photographic proof to give the kids … Continue reading
War of the Worlds (2005)
I had a more in-depth review of this rental, but thanks to GoLive taking a dump during the spell checking before I could save this, I have to go with a more succinct posting (that might be for the better … Continue reading
Week Ten of NHL 2005-6
The schizo Flyers continue. They beat the leading team of the Northwest Division, the Calgary Flames (a rather tense 0-0 game decided by a shootout), then lose to the Edmonton Oilers who will need a miracle to make the playoffs … Continue reading

Ice Storm 2005, kind of
It was more like frozen drizzle but it still yields the same result in Central Texas, frozen roads and bridges followed by people wrecking their cars everywhere. It’s also a chance to rejoice and get the rare Snow Day! No … Continue reading
Week Nine of NHL 2005-6
Well, the Boston-San Jose trade invovling Joe Thornton was quite a shocker but in others wasn’t. Both teams are struggling and something had to give, I just didn’t think the Bruins would give up their star player (I’m drawing a … Continue reading

Collection passes 1900
Recently, my CD collection cracked the 1900 mark. I know that’s note terribly eventful but in light of how awful last week was (Uncle Chief’s death, work dragged on and was filled with disappointment, so on), this is good news. … Continue reading

Uncle Chief RIP
I was juggling other entries on top of everything else I was trying to do today and before I go to sleep I wanted to at least end my day with this sad announcement. Today was my nephew’s birthday so … Continue reading
Week Eight of NHL 2005-6
With or without Forsberg, I have concluded that my Flyers have a split personality. The big question is, which team shows up at the games now. The Lightning and Islanders beat them because they wanted it more yet I doubt … Continue reading
