You know what would be better than some fireworks to finish off the weekend?
Neither do I!
(Sports-related squeeing coming up — feel free to jump straight to the pictures.)
I had said that I might mention the Stanley Cup Finals. This is your update after two incredibly tense games, both of which were won by my beloved LA Kings!
In both games we started out by giving up two goals and being down 0-2. (Mind you, this is in a sport where a 3-1 game is considered to be “high scoring.”) Both games went into overtime, the second game into double overtime. The second game was in fact the longest game in team history, and at 90:26 was the fourth longest game in league history.
But the Vuvuzela Of Victory has been singing her sweet, sweet song of joy and triumph.
As if that weren’t enough, my beloved UC Irvine Anteaters (ZOT!) started the college baseball playoffs last weekend by knocking off the #1 team in the country (Oregon State, also last year’s champion) on their home field. Then this weekend they went into Oklahoma State and beat a highly favored team on their home field.
Now it’s off to Omaha next weekend for the College World Series! I believe it’s only the second time in school history that we’ve ever made it this far.
Go Kings, Go!
Go ‘Eaters!
You may now all return to your regularly scheduled reality.
