Olympic Gold
It's been an amazing couple days for the Canadian Olympic team. Yesterday last night the Mens Canadian Hockey Team beat the Finnish hockey team to go onto the semifinals. The score was 2-1 and was it ever a great game. Both teams played amazingly. Tomorrow (Friday) they play Belarus to decide whether they play for the Gold or for the Bronze.
Earlier today the Canadian Womens Curling Team beat the American team with a score of 9-5 to take the Bronze.
And tonight the Canadian Womens Hockey Team destroyed the Americans to win the Gold with a score of 3-2. I thought the mens game from last night was amazing but this game was "edge-of-your-seat" exciting. Especially in the last 5 minutes where the US scored a goal to bring it up to the final score. My only complaint about the game is that the game was called by an American referee and a lot of the calls were questionable. In 60 minutes of playing time we had approximately 26 minutes of penalty time and we still came back to win.
An interesting addendum to this is that in the last eight games that the Canadian team played against the Americans the Americans won every time. It was a hard fought battle and we defied all odds. :)
Men Helping Men Help Men
In Canada Bud Light has come up with some very very funny commercials. Apparently there is this place called the Bud Light Institute™ who are "men helping men help men". The latest commercial is this a CD complitation called Ulterior Motives with songs such as "You Said It Was Okay (I Should Have Known It Wasn't)", "It Takes A Special Kind Of Woman To Make Sandwiches For The Guys" and "Our Relationship Is Getting Stronger With Every Golf Game That I Play".
If you living in Canada you can actually order the 6 song CD from the Budlight website. All you have to do is pay for the shipping and handling and the best part is it is in Canada currency so no freakin' conversion needed. I order mine earlier today.
If you are not from Canada you can still download the song entitled "You're Beautiful (Can I Go Up North This Weekend?)" in MP3 format. Pure genius I say. :)
Cloned Kitten
She may have been an unnatural birth but I still think she is one of the cutest kittens I have ever seen. Not that all kittens aren't "the cutest kittens I've ever seen". I would have given her a better name than CC though. I wonder what the CC stands for? Probably Cloned Cat. Here is another picture of CC with her surrogate mother Allie.
