Well last week, when I initially figured out how to work DOS Box, I featured one of the best games ever, from 1993 - Scorched Earth.  This week, being sick, afforded me the opportunity to find and play one of my personal favourite games - Mega Lo Mania.  I was

So there seems to be something that's changed about the Leafs since the trade deadline. No, not the amazing play of our top line (although I do find it to be soothing to my soul that Phil Kessel hit the 30 goal mark, the first time since Sundin

So yesterday was a rather slow day at work, so I got to know the guy who sits next to me better.  We discussed our software, the limits of doing things in 3D, and then started reminiscing about old versions of AutoCAD... which somehow led to the video games we

Well it's back to the routine of everyday life for everyone today.  For some, that'll be really sucky, as it seems everyone who managed to make it to Toronto for the big meetup was very reluctant to leave (note: more pictures are required.  I'm

Well last night was a great game for the PPPers to meetup and attend.  Jared's drunken posts were remarkably similar to his sober ones (typos and all) and BTD supplied us with this awesome picture of Kessticle, who appears to be Phil Kessel's long lost twin

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day in Vancouver.  The kind of day that makes you realize spring really is here, and summer is just around the corner.  It seems the NHL was on the same wavelength as me - releasing new NHL bikinis on the NHL.com store!  It'

Well, with Chemmy and Skinnyfish heading to Toronto today, you guys are stuck with me for the next few days.  My posting the FTB for three consecutive days comes at an interesting time - just as Margaret Wente of the Globe and Mail touched off a storm about bloggers "

This season has been like a long, painful car ride where your parents changed the destination once they got you all excited and into the car. Yup, this summer we were all a-flutter with great defensive signings, the promise of youth, and a new, hot goalie and the promise of

* Well strangely, I totally forgot that the Leafs existed this weekend.  Well, not totally.  Saturday afternoon I went to a spice party (and spent way too much money) and the hubby was coming over after the party, so he apparently  watched the Leafs game for me, and informed me of

So this week has been pretty hectic for me at work. We're on a deadline with what was supposed to be a "simple" building. Only, on Tuesday when we were supposed to be done, the structural engineer decided to make a whole bunch of last minute

Yesterday, my illustrious, hard-working partner found something quite intriguing on Passive Agressive notes.  The letter pictured above was written by a young girl who shares my name.  In it, she apologizes for calling her mom a "pice of poo".  Frankly, I still haven't stopped laughing at

With the Olympics over, Vancouver seems empty.  And, well, it's gone back to being kind've boring.  Nobody in my office took the day off or came in hungover, which I found boring.  As for the players and coaches, so much for revelling in that Olympic Gold

Well the whirlwind of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics is over.  It's been a blast.  The party is still going on down on Robson street - it's so packed that you can't even move.  What an incredible two weeks.  I'd do a review

Well yesterday was spectacular!!!!  4 medals for Canada, plus we spanked Russia all the way back to the homeland!  Frankly, I'm so exhausted from the spectacular day had by Canada, I don't have much to say.  Sure, I didn't go downtown to join in

So of the10 medals Canada has managed to win at these Olympics, 6 of them have been won by women.  Not every woman who was favoured to win has come through - Mellisa Hollingsworth comes to mind - but they've been more reliable than the men.  And the

Well as I sat down to watch this, the best game yet of the Olympic hockey tournament is on TV - The Czechs versus the Slovaks, starring our very own Tomas Kaberle. And strangely, as I started writing this, with the Czechs on the power play, Kabby just took a

So yesterday was another successful day for Canada at the Olympics. Except I'm a bit confused. His name is really Mike, and he really is from Canmore? Growing up in a stereotypically Canadian household, watching the Royal Canadian Air Farce on Friday night was a tradition. The comedians

Well last night was pretty exciting... I finally got to hear the end of the "who will win the first gold for Canada on home soil?" story and instead was inundated with stories about an amazing athlete who everyone overlooked when considering who would fill that void.   Frankly,

Well my ability to follow the hockey world has been severely hampered the past few days.  And not just because we got a new puppy, but because I'm crate training her and housebreaking her.  I haven't actually watched a full hockey game in about Friday, which

Please forgive me if today's FTB is a little... bland.  I've been taking care of the little critter pictured above and, let me tell you, housebreaking is a lot of work.  She's finally down to bed and I can squeeze in some time to

With no Leaf game and no Lost last night, my TV was definitely lonely last night. Instead, I relaxed with some music and a book. Having gone through my Beatles Boxed set, I felt it was time to go back further, to another famous music innovator - Elvis. Amazingly enough,

Why am I excited? Because Dion Phaneuf is excited! Tonight we see the new look Leafs, sans so many players that we won't miss, and with Phaneuf and Giguere in the spotlight. Can it get more exciting? YES! It's also the premiere of the final season

Wow. What a day yesterday was. I got to bed probably around 2am, pretty late for me, and then just after 8am I woke up because I heard my phone beeping with a text message. It was TSN saying, simply: Dion Phaneuf traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs. I have

With our trip down to Bellevue this past weekend, the husband and I didn't do our weekly grocery shopping last week.  As it's now Thursday, there is a dearth of food in our house.  However, one important thing that we had to buy while in the

So yesterday was a bit of a significant day for us here at Pension Plan Puppets dot com, as it saw Elliotte Friedman responding to Chemmy's post about his proposed trade that would see Tim Thomas don the blue and white. As PPP said on twitter, "We&
