Enthusiastic Fans

Published on by kristenperreaultLeave a comment

Who doesn’t love an enthusiastic fan?  Generally you see the middle aged man dressed head-to-toe in their teams colors and we turn our heads to laugh or roll our eyes, but who wouldn’t want to be a fan with this little guy?!?!  This is Bradey my adorable 4 month old cousin, a Calgary Flames fan in the making.

The Flames, for those of you that are not familiar with one of the greatest spots ever played, is the hockey team in Calgary (my home town in the north).  The Flames will facing the San Jose Sharks tonight in Game 2 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series.  By the way, they won game one- woohoo- and are now leading the series 1-0.  Wow, I sound professional and I along with my neighbors to the North will be cheering them on to victory, whether in person or in spirit.  Go Flames Go!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)

Well, I finally finished the 7th book in the Harry Potter series, I know it took me long enough.  

Jamie tried to convince me to begin reading them when we first started dating but I picked up the first book and just couldn’t get into it, I thought it was a snooze.  About a year later Jamie picked them up to read again (he had read all but book 7 previously) and finally convinced me that if I made it through the first book I wouldn’t want to put them down.  The tiny competitive part of me took this as a challenge and well he was right, kind of.  I read book 1 through half of book 5, back to back, before getting tired of hearing about Harry.  But after a reading few books in between I was able to muster up enough excitement about his life and tales to pick it up again and I sped through the rest of book 5, 6 and 7.

I will not give away the ending, for those of you who have not read it, but I will say they are worth the time.  Listen to Jamie and get through the first book.  I had a good time talking to Jamie about the books and trying to pester the ending and truth about characters from him, although I am not sure that he enjoyed this game as much as I did.  I think that the epilogue could have been written a little better, I think Jamie described it as being “a poorly written after thought” although I am not so harsh.  Needless to say I can check this one off my list and I might even be a member of some weird club now- woohoo!
