Said and Done

myboyfriendisapirate — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:19:51 +0000

Ah, life. That thing that happens when you’re busy making plans. A lot has changed since March, I’m sure, but I’m not going to worry about filling in the gaps.

The last few months have provided the usual hotchpotch of business, love, charity and disintegrating relationships (in reverse order of financial gain, and – hopefully – ascending order of personal growth). The Pirate and I are done, in the friendliest way possible, and even have our own break-up song:

There was a brief relationship with a new man, which was an incredible re-awakening of my romantic senses, and a subsequent break-up caused by his arguing style. So damn repetetive. I like my arguments to have the decency to appear to be moving in a forward-like direction.

I realise now… blessed hindsight… that the two years I spent with the Pirate had little to do with love, and more to do with a lack of disgust, as Eoin Colfer succinctly puts it in the next episode of the thrilling Hitchiker’s series. I do feel a little wiser than I did this time two years ago, but I also feel cynical and disillusioned, which will hopefully pass.

Cynicism aside, I’m enjoying the freedom of being alone again… and knowing that I don’t need anybody else. I had one of those rare moments of insight on a bus last week, when I suddenly wanted to sing and embrace the person sitting across from me. I managed to hold back from hugging strangers, but I did smile the whole way home.

So life is moving on, and I’m trying to keep up with it.

How have you been?!

Forgive and Forget

abriekaulitz — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:02:51 +0000

Some times its good to forgive and forget.A few weeks ago you saw a post where I was getting into fight with my friend.I didn’t really talk to her for about 3 days.But now I am.Its been great.I found out that a friendship isn’t going to be a real friendship with out its tiff.We learn from them and grow stronger.Knowing a person is willing to get over it and so are you.Well then they really are friends.Its great to have her back as a friend.Knowing I will never make that mistake ever again.To have friends is a best thing you can have cause.money comes and goes.Boys come and goes.But friends never come an go.You maybe get into a fight but the truth is they are always there.I don’t want my life to be like the hills and always be fighting with my friends.I want my life to be funny and wild but caring at times.

Price revival has Habs thinking win over Jackets

nhlnewss — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:42:49 +0000

After a slow start, Carey Price has rounded into form. The Columbus Blue Jackets hope they can say the same of Steve Mason in the very near future.

A pair of goaltenders headed in opposite directions likely will be on display Tuesday night as the Blue Jackets try to rebound from an ugly loss in a matchup with the Montreal Canadiens.

Price has established himself as one of the league’s best young goaltenders with two strong seasons for the Canadiens (11-11-1) since he was the fifth overall selection in the 2005 draft. He began 2009-10 as Montreal’s No. 1 goalie but an early-season six-game losing streak opened the door for Jaroslav Halak to get more playing time.

Price has since regained the No. 1 job, going 4-2-1 with a 1.94 goals-against average in his past seven appearances while starting the last five games. He had another strong performance in Saturday’s 3-2 shootout loss to visiting Detroit, making 32 saves through overtime.

Mason captured the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie with 33 wins last season and helped the Blue Jackets (12-7-3) reach the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Mason, however, is experiencing a very profound sophomore slump, ranking next-to-last in the NHL with a 3.59 goals-against average.

He was pulled for the third time this season Monday night in Columbus’ 7-4 loss to the New York Rangers after allowing four goals on 17 shots. Mason surrendered at least four goals for the eighth time in 17 starts this season.

Coach Ken Hitchcock could start Mathieu Garon, but he wasn’t much better than Mason against the Rangers, giving up three goals on 15 shots.

Monday’s loss was the Blue Jackets’ first in regulation since a 9-1 defeat to Detroit on Nov. 11 in Hitchcock’s 1,000th NHL game. Columbus has earned at least a point in nine of its last 11 games (6-2-3).

Blue Jackets star forward Rick Nash has been held without a point in consecutive games for the first time this season and was a minus-4 in Monday’s loss.

“When your best players are minus big time, you’re not going to win many games,” Hitchcock said.

The Canadiens lost after regulation for the first time this season Saturday, dropping to 8-1 in games decided beyond the third period.

Mike Cammalleri scored two third-period goals for Montreal, which is 1-3-1 in its last five home games.

Cammalleri has four goals and two assists in his last five contests overall and three goals and five points in his last three against Columbus. He’ll need to continue to produce with center Scott Gomez sidelined by a lower-body injury suffered in Friday’s 3-2 win over Washington.

Center Tomas Plekanec has also been hot lately, tallying one goal and seven assists in his past five games.

Montreal made a minor trade Monday, acquiring Benoit Pouliot from Minnesota in exchange for Guillaume Latendresse in a swap of left wings. Pouliot – the fourth overall pick in the 2005 draft – had two goals and two assists in 14 games this season for the Wild.

The Canadiens will be without enforcer Georges Laraque after he received a five-game suspension for an incident Saturday against the Red Wings when he collided with Niklas Kronwall resulting in a leg-on-leg, open-ice hit.

The Blue Jackets have won consecutive games against the Canadiens, including a 4-3 shootout victory Nov. 7, 2008, in the most recent meeting. Columbus is 3-1-0 with one tie all-time at Montreal.

Over 100 icebergs drifting to N.Zealand: official

Viet Nam — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:19:58 +0000

File photo shows an iceberg pictured off the New Zealand Coast (AFP photo)

SYDNEY (AFP) – More than 100, and possibly hundreds, of Antarctic icebergs are floating towards New Zealand in a rare event which has prompted a shipping warning, officials said on Monday.

An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist said the ice chunks, spotted by satellite photography, had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island, about 450 kilometres (280 miles) northeast.

Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs — some measuring more than 200 metres (650 feet) across — were seen in just one cluster, indicating there could be hundreds more.

He said they were the remains of a massive ice floe which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming.

“All of these have come from a larger one that was probably 30 square kilometres (11.6 square miles) in size when it left Antarctica,” Young told AFP.

“It’s done a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it are breaking up and producing smaller ones.”

He said large numbers of icebergs had not floated this close to New Zealand since 2006, when a number came within 25 kilometres of the coastline — the first such sighting since 1931.

“They’re following the same tracks now up towards New Zealand. Whether they make it up to the South Island or not is difficult to tell,” Young said.

New Zealand has already issued coastal navigation warnings for the area in the Southern Ocean where the icebergs have been seen.

“It’s really just a general warning for shipping in that area to be on the alert for icebergs,” said Maritime New Zealand spokesman Ross Henderson.

The icebergs are smaller remnants of the giant chunks seen off Australia’s Macquarie Island this month, including one estimated at two kilometres (1.2 miles) and another twice the size of Beijing’s “Bird’s Nest” Olympic Stadium.

Young earlier told AFP he expected to see more icebergs in the area if the Earth’s temperature continues to increase.

“If the current trends in global warming were to continue I would anticipate seeing more icebergs and the large ice shelves breaking up,” he said.

When icebergs last neared New Zealand in 2006, a sheep was helicoptered out to be shorn on one of the floes in a publicity stunt by the country’s wool industry.
