you're still within my heart
Happy Canada Day, guys. And you know what that means: FREE AGENT FRENZY.

Basically today has been great. I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, baby: just bought a buncha crap from Hollister. Yay employee discount, saved me about 20 bucks. Also picked up a new DDR pad, which adds the spice my workouts have been lacking. Man I missed it. I'm not in as good shape as I was back in my peak playing days, but I have gotten better at rhythm games/rhythm in general, so I'm basically about the same.

Free Agent Frenzy started at noon, I was home by 12:15. After every song I would check the feed to see what trades went down. Since I'm a Knub (haha pun we just picked up Mike Knuble, though you pronounce the K) I'm following the live-chat on Puck Daddy, where the wonderful Greg Wyshynski is hosting people who know what the fuck they're talking about and hopefully giving me relatively accurate information. And by that I mean they get TSN or possibly the NHL Network and are watching... whatever those networks are airing that's giving exclusive details. Plus DGB was invited, and he's shot up my list of People Who Are Basically the Coolest Ever (just like Sergei Fedorov shot up my list of People Who Are Basically the Hottest Ever, have a good time in the KHL baby).

So right now I'm chilling outside on the porch in a lounge chair (someone get me a pina colada), keeping up with the signings which I find ludicrously and irrationally fascinating, hoping GMGM doesn't do something crazy (giving up Brashear to NYR is toeing that line, babycakes), and enjoying the fact that right now my life is pretty fucking good. C'mon guys, let's get that second-line center!
