it's cooling down (or is it wishful thinking?)

Hockey season must be getting close because Rangers have started suiting up. I need this sweater like an emergency. I hope Mr. Awesome makes the team, however he likes. At least he's a right wing, because the glut of left wings just got deeper with the addition of Kennedy. I hope Avery doesn't jerk himself out of a spot on the lineup. I don't have heavy expectations for this season, so I need all the entertainment I can squeeze out of that locker room. And I have a feeling Frolov isn't a jokester. In other Ranger news Henrik hosted a busride around NYC, an opportunity I missed because my phone was conveniently dead all day Monday. I had to live it vicariously here, and now you can too.

Only a few more weeks to go until some real action happens on the ice and I've been passing the time by watching a lot of TV. There's the US Open during the next two of course. Here's hoping Roger Federer hoists his 6th trophy. Between matches I'll be watching two British shows that I'm crazy about ( courtesy of J, thank you lady!).

First up is The IT Crowd, a superb traditional sitcom about the IT department in a large company. Roy and Moss are two of my favorite characters of all time. I love 'em. You can watch new episodes on IFC Tuesday nights at 10:30. (also a good place to catch Freaks and Geeks every weekend)

Next is The Mighty Boosh. It took me a little longer to love the Boosh, but now I'm addicted. A bit more surreal and cerebral than the IT Crowd it also features two spectacular male leads, Howard Moon and Vince Noir. I cannot even describe them so just watch this clip. They can be seen sporadically on Adult Swim, but just buy the box set.

That should get you through to training camp at least!
