All we need is for Foligno to say something similar and we'll have those tickets sold. To hordes of screaming fangirls, but hey, money's money.

RIT Homecoming is this weekend, which means tailgating and then live hockey! Michigan will be a fun team to watch. People in town, beers a flowin'... I can't wait.

Best of luck to you and yours. ###### cancer. As a survivor of a myriad of heart problems (heart attack at 15, hole in heart, experimental surgery), it's absolutely amazing and rather comforting what technology can do. My surgeon was at Cleveland Clinic and he and his surgical partner changed so many lives for the better, most of them infants. You're in my thoughts. My complaint is also a sad one- a very good friend of mine from college is overseas fighting with the rangers in Afghanistan. I recently got in touch with him and long story short, things are bad, he's in hot situations. Several people from his regiment, including one of his childhood friends, were killed earlier this week. He has commissioned me to paint the friend in his kit and on his wedding day for the family. The man's picture is all over the internet in that article about families of the fallen soldiers being delayed posthumous benefits. I don't know how I'm going to do these paintings, looking at his face, without just sobbing all over the place the whole time. Screw war. Screw Congress. And I hope my friend gets home safe. Hang together, guys. Weekend's almost here.

Oh man I'm not sure, but for some reason it made me think of the time Clarkson strapped a dead cow to the top of his car.

Top Gear is my go-to when I'm down. I could watch the Arctic or Botswana specials a million times and not get bored of them. Oliverrrrr!!!! I even carry a little Stig that doubles as a flashlight on my keychain. And if I didn't want a Toyota Hilux before, I certainly do now.

In the midst of making pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese frosting from scratch and a batch of choco chip cookies because d4rk would give me the sad face otherwise. I've missed baking. Had an excuse to do some tonight for an open house the horse rescue I volunteer at is having tomorrow. A glass of Rohrbach's Oktoberfest lager and the apt smells good... even if the sabres lost again.

I'm putting an art show together. I told my studio mates I had no time to do it, and they set it up initially and then... let the ball drop. So I had to drop everything to pull it together, which they knew would happen. ######. It's halloween themed (first friday october) and my mate who set it up has coined it the Gore Show. All well and good but my god have the crazies come out of the woodwork- I have a girl trying to get me to go ghost hunting in Buffalo, another claims she's a werewolf... But it's cool because a really kind crust punk named Lock NLode came in last night with work. My god where DO they come from...

He's a robOtt

Vintage, baby. Let's spin some vinyl with hipster Ryan Miller and smoke cloves. This is true. Either way, I'm happy with the choices. It's going to be an interesting season.

And now my Ott jersey is outdated! And my painting of Ott is outdated!

It sums them up- so awful it's great. It'd be one thing if they were serious everyday jerseys, but I believe it was just a fun expo thing. Dat face tho... I believe we've found the missing link. Proud of you.

These. Where can I get one? Real collars, too! http://translate.google.com/translate?depth=1&hl=en&ie=UTF8&nv=1&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http://m.eurosport.se/ishockey/tidernas-fulaste-matchstall-spelar-i-lederhosen_sto3934997/story.shtml

That's awesome. I have a friend interning with NASA in Houston right now. She was in the control room with the Soyuz launch this week. From what I can tell, hanging around those guys is an amazing time. Checking out the Space Center should be a real treat. Enjoy!

Good lord this is adorable. Have an awesome time :)

Yes, everyone loves a good coccyx. Um. Words with unexpected letters are cool. Or o's and i's together. Like, sternocleidomastoid. Also one of the easiest parts to draw on someone that makes it look like you know what you're doing.

One of my favorite anatomy terms is xiphoid process. I just love saying it. Iliac crest is awesome too. Yay bones! I always liked talking about gel electrophoresis as well.

D4rk bought us a new TV so we can watch hockey and movies and play games on something bigger than a blurry post-it. He wouldn't let me help pay for it. In return, he's probably getting goalie skates for Xmas.

At least Alexander Semin isn't on our team to promote it.

Clogged arteries and certain heartburn aside, I'm more worried about what "special Sabre sauce" entails, personally.

Can confirm. Am struggling through the day mixing coffee and painkillers and floating through assignments.

haha perfect. Georgia will be posted 10/10. So since the cat's outta the bag, this is all for Dockers. They have a Game Day line of pants in team colors. Check their facebook twitter or instagram- the first one I did is Texas A&M and it's up already. Working on LSU Tigers for next week. They actually have a live tiger in a cage that roars at the other team. And I thought the Buckeyes were nuts growing up (haaaa legume pun)

Miikka Kiprusoff announces retirement. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2013/09/09/sp-nhl-calgary-flames-miikka-kiprusoff.html

haha awesome. I'll check it out, see if there's someway I can ref it in there. Thanks!

The one I've been told to focus on for UGA is the Victory Bell. I'm betting there's videos on the youtubes of it, no? Any specific craziness that happens during the ringing that you know of? Like, hand signals or anything? I'll probably try to include a Bulldog in there somewhere. Thankya miss!

Thanks man! Unis are: Oregon State, Louisiana State, Texas A&M, University of Georgia, Missouri University, Washington State, University of Minnesota, University of Kentucky, University of Michigan (go blue!), aaand University of Illinois. Might be more down the road, I'm not sure. Each one has a specific tradition I'm referencing. If anyone on here knows the spirit/rituals of any of these schools, I am all ears! Been studying Texas A&M all day for the first one.
