I'm pleased to officially welcome my 3 MILLIONᵀᴴ follower, @BrutonNerdymom, to the madness. To celebrate, I'll be following her for 3 million seconds! I’m also sending her a scrapbook of my most profound tweets & a pair of my used socks (so she can study for the upcoming exam).
Took my no longer little buddy to the @626NightMarket last night at the OC fairgrounds. I highly recommend going. So much good food to share, things to buy and music to listen to. I bought anime macarons. ♥️
The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.
Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.
Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.
The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.
In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.
Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.
Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.
He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Memorial service details to follow.
One of my older sons and I did our first out of state anime convention. Flew all the way to Atlanta for @MomoCon. We had a lot of fun and met some amazing people. I've barely slept in days and am glad to be home in LA. Totally worth it though. ♥️
I'll be listening to this while I'm working on Mother's Day. For once I hope I don't have any clients walk in. Momma needs 3-4 hours of uninterrupted time with this. 😍♥️
A toddler was surprised with a gift after striking up a beautiful friendship with her family’s garbage truck driver in Washington.
Three-year-old Penny would often stand in the driveway watching the garbage truck and developed a connection with the driver, Jorge, her mom said.
He recently surprised her with a gift that his own daughter had picked out especially for her: a Hello Kitty backpack. 💕
