So we’ve wanted a wii since Christmas, but of course it was impossible to find one, so we decided that the first chance we found one, we would get one as a joint birthday present. Well, my birthday is April 1st, and Calin’s is April 8th, but we were able to find one recently on Amazon.com using wiialerts.com. So here’s the problem; we have a wii now, but decided not to open it until our birthdays (We’re just going to say April 1st). So I’ve setup a live webcam of Homer guarding our wii to help us keep up our willpower. Hopefully we can make it to April

Calin and I went to the RIT vs Canisius game on Saturday night with my Aunt, Uncle, and two young cousins- towards the end of the third period a huge fight (by college hockey standards anyway) broke out between all of the players on the ice. A Canisius player even left the penalty box to get back into the action, and the Canisius goalie removed his mask and crossed the red line to fight with Louis Menard! In the end I think there were 10 14 ejections total; both benches looked pretty empty for the rest of the period.

Here’s a video someone took from the Corner- it doesn’t really do the fight justice; of course we were also sitting right above the action- so we got a nice close look at it all:
