blah, blah sports

healingmirthAs I complained to one of my friends yesterday, all of the wrong people won at sports. I flung myself petulantly onto the couch afterwards, and it didn't help. I don't know how people who are actually from places manage to stick by their teams when they lose year after year.
(I actually just meant that I was disappointed in/for the Penguins and Andy Murray, but it felt more terrible at the time. Also, I was bored and hungry but only had less than an hour before going to have Easter dinner with my mom.)
Luckily, I have accidentally prepared myself for many possible paths through the playoffs. A few weeks ago, I bought some NHL shirts. The reasoning went like this:
- I hate all my long-sleeved t-shirts
- I also hate all the long-sleeved t-shirts that Threadless currently has for sale
- society6?
- wow. what if I just search for cats?
- why is everyone making shirts with giant pictures on them? I look terrible in shirts with designs from hem to hem
- You know what's not productive, self? using google to try to find shirts that only have a banner across the chest, with no restrictions on content
- Ooh, I bet there are sports teams that make stuff like that
- Wow, I hate all the Penguins merch
- Wow, I hate most of everyone else's merch
- Well, the Caps have a banner-ish logo
- And the Habs, I guess
- But if I'm going to be buying things, I really should buy at least one thing for a team where I can match more than one player to his number
Which is why I now have three raglan long-sleeved hockey t-shirts. They're pretty great. And now I am well prepared for jumping on the Canadiens bandwagon through the playoffs.
I haven't written anything in what feels like a year and a half, but what is actually only a little over a month. There was a Perron/Crosby prompt on the meme that has been bouncing around my head, but not any more productively than the multitude of things already bouncing around my writing folders.
I made a pretty great first effort at Spring cleaning last week?
