Aaargh!

Evil, cruel, annoying LJ, enough with all the "proxy error, broken pipe, nyah nyah!" stuff! It shouldn't take me two hours to read my flist when it's only about forty posts long! Cut it out! Aaaarrrrghhh! I'm gonna go watch Globe Trekker, and when I come back, you'd better be more cooperative, or I'll... think of something. Something bad!

There, now I feel better. Heh.


Oh yeah, and did anyone in a more westerly timezone get Century City last night instead of basketball? I was really looking forward to the bionic eyeball, but no dice. Dang. I hope they just push the original Tuesday ep back a week and show it then instead.

I got Century City, but it appeared to be a repeat of the pilot ep so I switched back to Hockey Night In Canada.

Ooooooo, lucky! Was is the Leafs/Avs game?
wish I still lived someplace where I could watch HNIC....

Yep! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Leafs trounce the Avs, and they interviewed my fave Owen Nolan during the first period break. :-D

Well, I live in Arizona, so the only reason I get to see it is because I have digital cable and subscribe to Center Ice.

One of my favorite things about Nolan is the words that the Toronto Sun and Toronto Star use to describe him. "Rugged" is pretty common, and "gritty" gets used a lot, too. Lately, the word of choice has been "veteran", but I think the newspapers are just getting bitchy.

One of the papers did call Darcy Tucker a "pesky winger." -snickers- Seems fairly accurate.

It always makes me feel so old when announcers or reporters start nattering about a "veteran player", and they're referring to some guy who's barely 26. OTOH, hockey is one of the few sports where you routinely see players pushing forty who are still considered vital members of the team right along with the hotshot kids.

Nolan is definitely both gritty and rugged. I had the good fortune to run into him at Logitech Ice Center back when he was still captain of the Sharks (he was parked next to my car, lol!), and the man just oozed concentrated power. He also looked damn fine in ratty sweat pants and a Team Canada t-shirt. ;-)

LOL! It does, indeed. :-D

Oh good, at least I didn't miss anything new then. Darn basketball.

(BTW, the other comment asking about the hockey game is from my sister. Big hockey fan.)

According to kathlaw it was supposed to be a new episode. I'm wondering if they realized most viewers wouldn't catch it because of the basketball games and repeated the pilot instead.

I gathered that. ;-)

You too? I've been getting those broken pipes and proxy errors all day. It's sort of nice to know it's nice just me :)

Damn! Totally forgot about Century City again. It takes me so long to get into the habit of catching a weekly program...*headdesk*

I have the same problem. By the time a show gets into my head, they've either moved it or cancelled it. Stupid networks.

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly. And I get out of the habit so quickly during a hiatus, or when a show keeps getting pre-empted or moved. It's amazing I ever get into any show, really.
