Czersk Castle

Someone told us about a cool little site just outside of Warsaw where the ruins of an old castle lie, so we took the in-laws on a road trip to check it out. It wasn't very big, but it was pretty cool. Especially since you can climb up into two of the towers. The sun was hiding most of the time, so my pictures weren't all that great, but I posted a handful up on the flickr page.

Here comes Stanley!

The unthinkable has happened. Both of my teams will be fighting eachother for the Stanley Cup. I've had a long time to think about it, and the more I did, I realized that Detroit has to win it. They should've easily won it at least 3 of the last 4 seasons, and they deserve it after all the high hopes and terrible playoff disappointments. Besides, the Penguins aren't even supposed to be this good this soon. It was a great surprise that they even made the playoffs last year, and anything past the first round this year good be considered a bonus. They WILL win the cup within the next three years, especially if Marian Hossa resigns next year.

What really sucks is that I'll only be able to watch a maximum of 2 of the finals games because we'll be out of town. Worst. Timing. Ever.

May 19th

Today is our one year anniversary. Now that I've had some time to kick the tires (and check under the hood) I think I'll keep her. The biggest problem we've had is Kim squeezing the toothpaste at the middle of the tube, instead of from the bottom. But I've broken her of that habit and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

Now if I can just get her to forget that she likes country music...

Holy crap!

I just found out that the restaurant at Landoll's Mohican Castle burned down yesterday! Most of you reading this will remember that was where Kim and I got married last year. Luckily it was just the building where we had the reception at, and not the hotel. I assume they'll rebuild it, but who knows how long that will take.

The Greatest Game on Earth!

Anyone who knows me knows that I live and breathe hockey, especially during the playoffs. Being from MI, I am of course a huge Red Wings fan. But I'm also a Penguins fan. So much so that I chose to go to college in Pittsburgh rather than Chicago just so I might have a chance to see some games live. Well, for the first time ever, both of my teams are kicking ass at the same time. The Wings have only lost 2 games going into the conference finals (while sweeping the Avs away with a crushing 8-2 victory in game 4), while the Pens have only lost one. So if they each win their next series, they will face eachother in the Stanley Cup Finals. I think my head just might explode if that happens. I really don't know who to cheer for, although I believe the Wings would probably win. But it would probably be a really close and exciting series considering how they're both on fire right now.

Is this a win-win, or a lose-lose..?

Bring on round 3!

Greatest. Movie. Ever.

Hell. Yes!

This is how superhero movies are supposed to be.

And speaking of movies, we watched Juno the other day. That piece of crap has got to be the most overrated movie ever. It wasn't horrible, it had some funny parts, it just wasn't very good and not deserving of all the hype it got. And it definitely wasn't worthy of the Oscar it won for best screenplay. I'm 100% certain that if it hadn't been written by an ex-stripper who somehow broke into the industry, it never would've gotten all the attention it did. 

Anyways, There Will be Blood is sitting on the table right now, so we're gonna watch that soon. Hopefully that'll be as good as I think it's gonna be.
