my two-week vacation from work started 13 hours ago :)

last night after work i actually went out jogging again. whew. i'm glad to see i'm keeping this up.

so what does sam's first day off entail, you may ask yourself? well, let me tell you. (i'm hoping last night's jog was a nice precursor to the next two weeks.) this morning started out with some emails, finally a first listen of The Decemberists' Castaways and Cutouts (nice! and a lot less quirky than envisioned), and the viewing of episode 10 (it was actually episode 11!! fuck, only 2 left. lol) of the first season of The Sopranos. and what an episode too! wow. i think this was the first one that featured a cliffhanger. and a somber one at that. but i'm not watching the next one right away. i'll keep that for later on this afternoon, sort of as a motivation to get things done today.

this afternoon i shall visit Pizza Hut and get some pizzas. and then swing by the grocery store and buy some good food. then, tonight, the main event -- Boston vs Montreal, Game 6. that's the reason for the pizza. this is what i've been wishing and waiting for. i really don't care if the Habs win or lose. of course i want them to win. but them just fighting their way onto a game 6 is well enough for me. as long as they play the best way they can tonight, i'm a satisfied fan all the way. now, if they actually beat Boston tonight i'd be the luckiest, happiest man on earth. this would mean a game 7 in Boston monday night and a 50-50 chance at going into the second round (against Tampa, who won their series last night).
