Gameworks!

I am going to Gameworks this evening. Marci, Rachel and her friend are coming so far. Anyone else want to come along and have some good wholesome arcade fun? C'mon. You know video games rule.

I am still so happy about this roller coaster thing. Gonna go on roller coasters. It's been years and years.

Brian came over yesterday and we had a good talk. It's great to talk to him as his way of thinking and his opinions come at things in a direction no one else I talk to apparently does. He gave me some things to think about. I'm glad we're hanging out more and I wish I had some money to go out to dinner with him. Plane tickets tend to make it so I don't have any extra money.

In other news, the Wings are playing to win the Cup tonight. It will be a glorious thing. *dances* Winning at home is grand.

This evening..

So, I have me, Marci, Rachel, her guest and Sue are going to be joining me for food before games. I'm probably going to end up in the bar area as there are TVs there, though we'll see how things work out.

On the “Buffy” front, Whedon’s big news is that Giles will be back! The writer-director-producer is headed to England “in a couple of weeks” to shoot some on-location “second-unit” footage for the season opener with Anthony Stewart Head and Alyson Hannigan.
Whedon also claims next year’s seventh season climax “will be the biggest thing we've ever done." It will end, he says, “with an exclamation point, not a question mark."

The U of W's web site is much nicer now.

Sent some e-mail off asking questions.

YES!

According to Variety, both 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures are developing big screen tales about Spartan warriors.

Fox has set screenwriter Erik Jendresen to write The 300 Spartans, an epic-sized film about the elite Greek warriors who held off ten thousand Persian invaders in the Battle of Thermoplyae. The title comes from the 1962 Fox film, but the new film is going to be more ambitious, says the trade.

Meanwhile, Universal has pegged Thermopylae for screen treatment in the form of Gates of Fire, the Steven Pressfield novel scripted by David Self for Heat helmer Michael Mann.

DUDE! Thermopylae. So cool.

And this:
Genial production designer Owen Paterson, hunkered before a mock-Chinatown facade, reveals that the 'Matrix' world exists 600 years in the future, that 'Reloaded' takes place over one day, that a setpiece fight-sequence kicks off in the virtual Tea House in front of him, and that now there are four giant hovercrafts instead of one.

Someone taking ideas much?

And hey...

Mike. At least its on a Thursday this year.

Ooooooooh. Spooky next year. Ooooooooh. Friday that 13th... on your 26th... which is 13 ... times 2!

Okay. I'll stop now.

Keen!

The Red Wings won the Cup.

I'm in this nice blissful place.

I watched the game in the bar at Gameworks with fellow fans and friends. We shouted and screamed and drank and had a good time. Towards the end people were staring at us, but we didn't care. Scotty Bowman retired. Nicklas Lidstrom got the Conn Smythe trophy.

*peaceful sigh*

There is another reason I like hockey. You know what that is?

Only three and a half months of off season.

It all starts over again in October.

Anyone want to go to a game in Vancouver with me?
