“go after peters, don’t go after our fucking captain” – lindy ruff
good god. the buffalo ottawa game tonight was THE best game i have ever been to. dear lord what a ridiculous game. if you don’t know anything about hockey, or don’t care, you can skip this post….
absolutely ridiculous. it was my last regular season game, and i really was expecting the usual boring game vs ottawa. after the 1st period it looked like it. we get into the 2nd, and vanek scores 2 goals. then suddenly, drury is on the ice bleeding, alot. stafford went after neil who apparently had done the damage. and the drury thing was so so scary because he’s on the ice bleeding, tried to get up, and fell over. so scary. he walked off the ice, so, phew. next face off, lindy sent out all the goons, peters, mair and a new guy brought up to fill in for whoever last got hurt. puck drops and peters goes after someone, head locks him to the ice. so everyone’s going nuts and suddenly everyone on the ice is fighting. then we notice biron and emery going toward eachother. goalie fight!! it was absolutely ridiculous. so biron is getting beat, they’re finally separated and peters goes after emery and kicks his ass. dear lord. what seemed like hours later, the officials get everything settled, peters gets ejected, which was expected. then they ejected biron AND emery! LOL when play finally resumed miller and gerber were in the nets, peters and mair had instigating penalties (so a 5 on 3), and buffalo had 8 players on the bench – most of them from rochester! ridiculous is the only word i can use to describe it. the crowd was nuts, everyone was on their feet yelling for a good 10 minutes. my voice is shot, my hands hurt so bad from clapping. just unbelievable. ottawa managed to tie it at 5, we go to overtime, and then to a shootout that went to 4 shooters. this game had everything! finally got to see a shoot out, it was awesome. best. game. ever. so exciting. 110 minutes in penalties.
so after game interviews – biron was hilarious, as always, talking and talking. when asked how he thought he did he said, i held on for dear life, and didn’t get hit in the face. hahahahahahah emery’s interview was pretty good i thought, he didn’t talk trash about the whole thing, like ottawa’s coach did, he was honest. he said it’s a part of hockey, to stick up for your players, and how ottawa’s coach has probably done the same thing as lindy in the past, and how it’s healthy for the game. i thought it was pretty good. ottawa’s coach thinks buffalo deserves suspensions, and lindy said he was proud of his team and how they responded.
the guys who sit next to us called people during the whole thing to find out about drury and the fight. he found out that apparently lindy ruff was yelling to the ottawa bench “if you’re gonna fucking take out my captain i’m going to fucking kill you” LOL
all phill and i could say was, dear lord if this was against toronto half of the audience would have been ejected too. luckily there didn’t seem to be many ottawa fans in the crowd, so we didn’t see any fan fights, but we really weren’t paying attention to the fans hehe
but we have yet another injured player. that brings the total up to 7 injuries in the last 6 games. again, ridiculous.
so anyone looking to see this, it was #1 on sportscenter, and i’ll be searching youtube for it (nothing yet). i want to hear jenneret’s call hahah (it was just on the radio, so fabulous!). oh you can watch highlights on espn.com, emery is smiling and laughing through the whole fight. in his interview he did say he thought it was fun.
and we play ottawa again on saturday…..
year zero
the year zero cover
as discovered by analyzing the new video linked on yearzero.nin.com
i think the latex glove filed with water coming from the sky is definitely creepy. er i mean “the presence” is creepy. hehe. do you think this was some drug induced dream trent had? i don’t know if i’d ever be able to come up with something like that
alright so on jan 27th i ordered a new SD card from bestbuy cuz they were on sale. and i haven’t gotten it. looking at the tracking info from UPS they claim it was delivered on jan 31. well i don’t have it. so i contacted best buy and they said they’d send me another one. except now it’s backordered. great. i guess i won’t have an extra SD card for europe. of course i could call their customer service and see if i can just pick it up at the store, but that requires using the telephone. eh maybe tomorrow.
a new phone number related to the year zero ARG was uncovered. 12163331810….and wow if someone accidentally dialed that, they’d be like WTF. very creepy and cool tho.
there is nothing more satisfying than surveillance supporting you in an argument with a player. ug. got into a ridiculous fight with a player last night, who was trying to pull a shot on me. there was lots of yelling, and in the end, i was right – as i knew i was – and he had to accept that he’s a loser asshole. 🙂
HA a political commercial spoof on the Rick Mercer Report about Bono…LOL
if anyone has wondered about my default icon, it’s buster and his traumatizing incident in a photo booth from the tv show Arrested Development. james had brought season 1 dvds over a few times when we were all still friends, and the show was amusing but we never ended up watching all of them. they’re now playing on cbc after simpsons, so i watch it every day and we’re into the 2nd season i think. what an underrated show. you’re watching and you really don’t realize how funny it is until after. very intelligent, and usually incredibly absurd. like having michael and his niece maebey sing kareoke to “afternoon delight”…you really don’t think anything of it until they’re singing and both realize the entire song is about sex. LOL the writers did such a good job coming up with hilarious things people wouldn’t think of. anyway. love the show. buster has now had his hand bitten off by a seal. LOL. he actually reminds me of james sometimes hahah sorry. wish the show hadn’t been cancelled. i read something that showtime picked it up but i don’t know if that was true or not.
oh and i think it’s hilarious that britney spears has shaved her head hahahah
work has changed the radio from the 80s station to the 90s station. it’s like one big middle school dance now. seriously, they play songs i haven’t heard in 15 years. and it’s fantastic.
ok i must have watched vh1s one hit wonders count down a million times, but just now payed attention to the fact that soft cell’s tainted love is a cover….haha i had no clue.
hmm
i gave in and listened to Survivalism as well. and again, i don’t know if i like it or not. i really think this will be an album best listened to all at the same time. initial reaction is i think i like this one more than my violent heart. but i’m only listening to each once, and waiting til the album to listen again. i’m sure my thoughts will change. duh. of course they will, it’s fucking trent reznor. haha
i work early tonight, 5-1. i had to force myself up at 2 so i didn’t sleep til 4 and end up late for work.

thoughts, input? i’m curious
watching an episode of Growing Pains, and it features Brad Pitt as a rockstar. The premise is the young son really loves this rock star, gets to meet him and gets an autograph, but then later accidentally walks in on Brad making out with a groupie and not his wife, and the kid’s image of him is all down the drain. that’s one of the reasons i don’t want to meet trent. (i forgot i had written this last night haha)
one of the senators arguing crap about the iraq war and the new non binding resolutions compared support, or lack of, to what would have happened at the alamo if congress had called davy crocket and told him that the govt supported him but wouldn’t send any troops…wait a sec. wasn’t the alamo a total loss? *wiki* “ended on Sunday, March 6 with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texian defenders” right. thought so.
hockey game tonight. win in overtime. though not without 2 more injuries – max broke his wrist, and novotny spraining his ankle. i had this giant guy sitting next to me. he wasn’t enormously fat, but just…large. really tall, with huge legs that he insisted on spreading apart as much as possible. ok i’m a small person, i take up about half the room as normal people, but that does not mean you can spread all your shit out all over me. at times when i stood up, my seat didn’t flip up because his huge leg was half on it and holding it down. ug. so obnoxious. if he stood up, his ass was right in my face, so i’d stand up too. then his elbow was face level and i thought he was going to take an eye out. arg. thankfully he doesn’t have those seats as seasons so i won’t have to deal with that again.
so…i’m gonna be honest. i’m working myself into an eating disorder sort of. before anyone clicks “comment” and tells me i’m not fat, I know that!!!!!!! LOL i’m not fat in any sense of the word. but even if no one believes me, i did gain 20 lbs last year, and when you think about it, 20lbs of beef is alot of flesh. i don’t care if you can’t tell, *i* can tell, i can feel it in my legs and stomach. and i can tell because clothes i bought in the summer don’t fit – including my 2 awesome dresses. there’s no hope the fishnet dress will fit now, it barely fit in april haha. shirts that used to fit now cut off the circulation to my arms. and i think, i need to lose these 20 lbs so i can fit into my clothes again. alright, so i’ll eat better, more protein, less carbs. except i’m a carb addict. do they have rehab for that? that’s all i want to eat. all i want right now is a huge bowl of mashed potatos. so then i think, alright if i want to eat the crappy food that i eat, i need to start exercising. but then that lasts a day. it’s too hard. i can see why some are attracted to anorexia – it’s so much easier!!!! but then there’s the other problem…i can’t not eat. it makes me sick. it gives me wicked headaches, and i just get so hungry i have to eat. so scratch that. and i can’t make myself throw up, so there goes bulemia. so i’m stuck eating crappy carb loaded food, not exercising, and gaining 20 lbs. so don’t comment that i’m not fat because i know that i’m not, and don’t comment that eating disorders are dangerous, because i don’t have one. i am just obsessing over the fact that my clothes don’t fit anymore. i figure with the activity of the vacation and travel times being weird etc i’ll lose some weight over seas. maybe when i get back i’ll actually try the exercising thing haha. actually. would anyone be interesting in rock climbing at the rock gym with me? it’s been…god 12 years since i’ve done it, but it was fun, and probably good exercise.
“i see you’re drinking 2%, is that cuz you think you’re fat?” hahahahha
saw the cutest bathing suit at zumiez yesterday, if i 1. had boobs 2. ever went swimming or 3. even ever went outside when it was warm. hahah.
books
i finished Wicked last week. i enjoyed it. it was very very different from what i expected, very politcal and shows a side of oz that is completely different from what you see in The Wizard of Oz movie. if you read it, pay attention to characters, they keep popping up. in discussing this with molino we feel confused about it – there are alot of loose ends and things that aren’t explained to my satisfaction. i suggest it though. and it probably helps if you want to see the musical.
i finished A Death in Belmont today. it’s a true crime book about the Boston Strangler. but it doesn’t just go through the killings, the author who also wrote A Perfect Storm, tells the true story of his family’s brush with the Strangler – he worked construction on their house during the same time period. Very interesting, very quick read. i also recommend it. especially if you like serial killers like me haha.
now i am going to start another serial killer book cuz i’m a freak – Green River Running Red – about the Green River killer. hehe excited! now if only someone would buy the zodiac books i want, or offer them on bookmooch i’d be all set. i’ve wanted these books for years now.
grr i said fuck it and listened to the leak of nin’s “My Violent Heart”. I shouldn’t have. that’s all i’m really gonna say. oh who am i kidding? can hear a saul williams influence on it BIG time. the spoken word, the back beat etc. i don’t know. i just don’t know. i’m not sure if this makes me excited or not. maybe this will be like the fragile, where it’s hard to listen to a single song from that album, outside of the context of the whole package. i guess that’s where i am after 1 listening. :-/ i’ve always said i could listen to trent talk for ages, so yeah i admit, the spoken word is quite teh hotness.
i admit this whole ARG/viral marketing stuff is pretty clever, tho it’s gotten way too involved for me to continue paying attention. and i don’t feel like i’m missing out of anything because i’m not participating.
i have to say, the burst of static at the end of the My Violent Heart leaked mp3 produces quite the image when you do spectral analysis of the ending burst of static
and that’s pretty clever. that’s the only word i can think of to describe all of this,( though it’s been done before by Aphex Twin). clever (how’s that working out for you?). oh, and the image, it’s supposedly of The Presence which is talked about in the ARG. creepy.
and as far as the leak is concerned…it was pretty much done on purpose, which is how i justify listening to it haha. the song was found on a usb/flash drive left in the mens bathroom at the lisbon concert – with more of these drives showing up in the mens room of the madrid show too.
maybe only kate and adr will appreciate this but….if we leave amsterdam for berlin, by train, we have various stations in berlin that we can arrive at. one of them is zoo station……..
LOL! i HAVE to arrive at zoo station if we take the train. i don’t care if it’s the most inconvenient station compared to where our hotel is, i just HAVE to. LOL *dork*
but i find it kinda tough to book a train ticket on this website when the information is in english, but the booking is in….dutch? i have no idea what language i’m looking at.
that train leg is expensive tho (127$ each), and if i’m reading this right, a budget european airline will fly amsterdam to berlin for 88$ each…*bookmark*
in other news my trip to the mall was a waste. bought an eye shadow from mac, but beyond that, nothing. arg.
