phill and i are retarded. we made a big deal about how there was only one thursday home game this season. well it was tonight. and we sold the game hahahaha. and it’s 3-0 buffalo after 1. here’s the blowout we’ve been missing. arg. *edit* 5-0 after 2 *grumble* *3 power play goals and one short handed. god we are so stupid* *6-0 final*
and i got an email about a Maple Leafs open practice pre sale. you have to BUY tickets to a practice in toronto?!?!?!?!?!?!
aud demolition expected in 2009 after asbestos abatement. as per channel 7 news tonight. peace bridge expansion in 2009 too.
a huge deer just ran past my window. ha
i got an email from Live Nation to do a survey about u2…it’s asking me how much I’d want to pay to see u2 in various locations inside an a stadium…is this a hint of things to come? a rebirth of zoo or popmart? ha i can dream can’t i? anyway. the front section, ie the entire center stadium floor, has a price range between 160 and 300$ LOL. edges of floor, or possibly first level seats 100-160$. the other 2 seating sections between 30-60$. all have an option of “wouldn’t buy” hahah. after that it’s asking what u2 cds i own, and other merch i own, q’s about when i’d buy merch, before or after a show, online, from a street vendor etc. then my general feelings and activities regarding concerts. and now they gave me fun facts about u2 lol gee thanks. what a reward for completing the survey. thanks live nation, i love you!
so i was bored tonight, so i made a cat toy. kitty LOOOOVES it.
so if anyone with a cat wants one…i’m gonna be experimenting. i had to hand sew this one because after doing the arms, ears and eyes the machine decided it hated felt and it would not sew it at all! also the felt looks all pulled apart immediately after kitty got his claws into it. so we’ll see how long it lasts. regular fabric would last longer me thinks. oh, it’s stuffed with catnip also hahaha. hence the kitty loving it part.
my mom is not dying. she doesn’t have any kind of cancer in any of the locations they tested. clean bill of health. so that’s good.
i feel like every day there is some crazy shooting up a school, or friends at a party, or amish. seriously. i don’t read a lot of the news, mainly just headlines on yahoo but i’m not kidding, EVERYDAY there is something about a shooting. what is happening?!
so bono has an appearance in this new movie Across the Universe, which could possibly be the worst ever movie for me to watch. it’s a musical based on beatles music. please bono, don’t make me go see this movie. ha. cassie, maybe you know? how much is he actually in the movie? i’ll prob wait til the clip shows up on youtube haha
someone on interference finally found the discobus clip. i still hate that it’s in real media cuz it’ll disappear again. anyone know how to record .rm files? tube hunter ultra won’t do it. i love how bono laughs during the 2nd “lets go…” and dancing machine edge.

busy week. david visited during “my weekend”. some bct, some movies (3:10 to yuma, and poltergeist), not enough/any aud. met up with joe to trade tickets/money, then the sabres home opener.
first home opener i’ve been to. it was exciting to be there (their new touching video montage includes a shot of central terminal, i was excited ha), cool to see the Presidents Trophy, and the 2 new banners unveiled from the rafters. i wish we would have won, but it’s a long season. there were 1 and a half good periods, and then the rest was pretty crappy. the new high def jumbo tron is awesome!! you can actually see the replays now hahaha.
oh absinthe is legal in the US now. just fyi. get your (gross) drink on.
even tho most of the time i do a whole lot of nothing i suddenly feel like there are 97297 things i have to do in the next few days. david arrives tomorrow before i go to work, so i should clean and find ways to entertain. plus mary needs help with this bullshit toke committee stuff (which has really died down and is almost a non issue, tho she feels we should still respond) so she wanted me to come over tues or wed to help her. photo shoot at bct on wed night. my mom thinks she’s dying so she has dr appts and wants me to come over tuesday to go through financial stuff in case she dies during a colonoscopy. i won’t be awake before 2:30 because i was on tokes tonight so stayed late, i’m wide awake and have been having trouble getting to sleep before 8 am the last few weeks. arg! so while i really don’t have that much to do, i do so much nothing that it’s hard to fit it all in 😛
but then, FRIDAY NIGHT, wooo sabres home opener. i’m so freaking excited it’s sad. hahah.
oh yeah. when i got home from work sunday night (technically monday morning) there was a silver suv pulling out of my drive way, face first. from what i could see in the dark the driver was wearing a baseball hat, smoking a cigar, and looked very much like the roulette player who i get in fights with. i sat in the road waiting for him to move so i could pull in. the suv pulled into the driveway across the street and just sat there. it was very weird and unnerving. so if my house blows up or i’m robbed or stabbed, it was dennis. go to the casino and ask any roulette dealer about dennis and you’ll be able to track him down and turn him into the cops. we haven’t had any fights recently so there’s really no reason for him to want me dead, and yes i know i’m being paranoid and silly. but it really did look like him, and it’s weird.
October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care
October
And Kingdoms rise
And Kingdoms fall
But you go on…
… and on…
i am the new proud? owner of an nfl jersey. wtf? hah we can wear jeseys on game days at work, so anything to not have to wear my ugly mustard color uniform is ok by me. i have a rothlisberger jersey. since finding out the origin of the steelers logo, i really like it, and the jersey is black so it was no contest. haha i can’t wait til someone asks me about the steelers and i can tell them i know nothing about football. except where the steelers logo is from hahaha. i’m a nerd.
britney spears lost custody of her kids hahahahah
i dreamed about there being a new version of the muppet show.
i also spent yesterday redoing my shopping cart on institutional green, so now it actually works: http://www.institutionalgreen.org/store
i finished reading U2 Popaganda last night, so now the u2 quote post
Adam: I’d have to say that within the u2 camp, I would definitely be the most diminutive of all the members.
Edge: Adam is the most well-endowed member, no contest, but he wouldn’t know because he’s blind.
Bono: Some people think u2 should be hung. All I’m saying is that we are, in fact, particularly well hung.
“I love women, they’re definitely the stronger sex. Some of my best friends are women. Some of my best friends dress up as women too.” – bono
Interviewer: What do you plan to do after the tour ends?
Bono: Extend the tour… reality isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
“It’s a mad thing we do. There’s nothing natural about it. I mean, I hit things for a living…and people clap.” – Larry
This next one is for adr2
“Strange things happen, like certain pieces of music you’ve used as intro tapes…you’re at home and somebody puts that on the record player and you suddenly start crawling up the walls, the adrenalin starts going. It’s like this Pavlov’s Dog reaction. There’s a song called “4th of July” that we used to use all the time, and I still can’t hear it without thinking we’re about to do a show.” – Edge
“Religious people, generally they freak me out. Honestly, I start twitching when I’m around them. But sometimes, maybe weirdos are the only people who really know they need god.” – Bono
“It’s really the most expensive demo session in the history of music.” – Bono on Pop.
but it’s such a great one!! i hate that u2 (esp larry) hates pop.
“We’re on a roll. Its getting more like the early u2 records. Really simple, stripped down arragements. That’s what we’re hungry for – music with that life force.” – Edge on how to dismantle an atomic bomb, 2002….
edge…seriously? simple? stripped down? those are not the words i use to describe that album
“I went into that record looking good. Then one day they had a guy doing hair in the studio. Bono said, “dan, why don’t you get a hair cut?” I came out with a fucking mullet. I’ll never forgive them.” – Daniel Lanois
“The lights came on during “Where the Streets Have No Name” and there must have been 10,000 people with tears running down their faces. And I told them they looked beautiful, which became the line in “City of Blinding Lights.” – Bono on u2 playing NYC after 9-11
“One of the ancient privileges of being a freeman of the city is the right to graze sheep on open ground. So the next day Bono and I borrowed a couple of sheep and took them out to eat the grass on St Stephen’s Green. It seemed like a good idea at the time.” – Edge
HA!!!!
“If you really hate me or u2 don’t shoot me – that will only sell another 5 million records…I’m worth more dead than alive! If you really hate me, don’t make me a legend” – bono 1988
“I’m famous because I know Bono. That’s pretty much it.” – adam
“Anyone is welcome to tape our shows and pass them around to their friends. But if you start selling them, we will find out where you park your car and we will pay you a little visit!” – bono 2000
promise? haha
“Be brilliant or fuck off.” – bono
“u2 is not a particularly great name.” – larry
“I had one of the worst haircuts of the 1980s. I know that it launched a million second-division soccer players. But the truth of it, if I’m really honest, is that I thought I looked like David Bowie.” – bono…LOL
“I need them for when I’m being insincere…” – bono on his sunglasses
“You know, it’s no surprise to me how ugly the world can be, but I have to remind myself to pay attention to how beautiful it can be. To see a wave crashing in, or a beautiful tree. Or a beach full of breasts, heh heh.” – bono
Phill and I went through our sabres season tickets, took the ones we’re using, and here are the rest if anyone is interested (adrienne ha)
We’re probably gonna put them all on ebay in a store, so if you’re going to buy from us just pay us, and don’t use ebay – we can avoid all the fees and stuff.
phill is mad cuz we finally got the picture tickets (didn’t last year because we bought them late), and instead of action shots or photos of players, every game features a different picture of a fan. hah i think they’re cool, i’m just glad i’m not in any – he threatened to send the photo of me and sabretooth to them to use.
bush’s UN speech, complete with phoenetic pronounciations was accidentally posted online. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070925/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_bush_phonetics
yeah “accidentally”. if i worked at the UN and had a copy of the speech i’d “accidentally” post it online too, so everyone can laugh.
“It included phonetic spellings for French President Nicolas Sarkozy (sar-KO-zee), a friend, and Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe (moo-GAH-bee), a target of U.S. human rights criticism.”
seriously…how else would you pronounce those names?!?!?!?! later in the article, the countries, i can sort of understand – at least help with kyrgyzstan is helpful, not so much the other 2. but those names? there aren’t even any silent letters in those names!!
