Dallas and Ice Hockey
Last Friday I got my first taste of Nhl hockey as I travelled to Dallas, with Mark and Kris, to watch the Dallas Stars play the Chicago Blackhawks, who are the team I follow.
I was not dissapointed. I had opnly ever seen the Canberra knights play live and it's pretty hard to compare the two. The teams often looked so slick and skillful with the puck and it was really cool to watch.
Unfortunately Chicago went down 5-4, even though they were up 3-1 with 6:30 left on the clock. stupid chokers.
This photo shows a penalty shot which the Dallas skater missed, if you look closely you can see the puck just about to cannon off the crossbar. Sweet!
On Saturday night we met up with Mark's former work colleagues for dinner and among other things discussed baby names, with Star Wars characters fairly prominent. I like TK421, but I don't know how likely it is.
One thing that travelling to Dallas has taught me is how very alike my brother and I can be. Despite not living in the same country for the past 9-10 years we still have a surprisingly similar sense of humour. here's an extract from a conversation which my family will find amusing. The topic is one of Kristen's co-workers I think...
Nathan: so how do you spell her last name(Man) with 2 n's.
Kris: I think just with one n.
Mark: but with 3 m's and 4 a's. MMMAAAANN!
N&M: MMMAAAA...n(followed by laughter and a knee slap at exactly the same time)
This concurrent piece of stupidity brought a groan and a laugh from Kristen and sent Mark and I into hysterics.
I've only got 2 more weeks overseas with 30 hours of travel at the end which should be awesome. Be seeing everyone real soon.

Halloween was alright, we went to a games arcade that night after all the neighbourhood kids had been around. I hadn't played daytona in so long, it was awesome!

Key wagon into a mobile phone with predictive text...see what else wagon could possible be...
An exclamation of excitedness perchance? :)
