I dunno, you be the judge:

whoa, Tony- you're right, I see what you mean! He totally DOES look like Jeremy!!!

Pre-Season: 1 and 3

Regular Season: 4 and 1

Come out and watch us play Feb 1st at the Granite, 5:30 pm. Looks like there will be a bonspiel happening March 5, 6 & 7.

The last month of curling has been bitter sweet since the long Christmas break. The January 4rth match-up saw the team lose by default after a replacement deserted our heros. The following week the team was determined to make a positive showing and used rage and well-placed frustration to pummel and pound out a 10 - 0 win over an amateur band of biology granduate students. And while relishing a real victory, and especailly over graduate students, had left our team with a certain sense of gratification, a real sense of retribution completed the evening with the severe beating of the so called replacement from the week before.

Determined and resolved for victory, our home team slid out this week to face yet another team of combatants for riches and glory. Unphased by the an absent Angela, the three remaining players continued on with the game on the promise that she would make an appearance so that the team would not lose by default. Facing our team tonight was another group of biology graduate students who seemed determined to avenge their hapless comrades from 2 weeks prior. The tone of the match up was set early as the violent and agitated graduate students tried futiley to gain a footing against our hardened heros. The turning point of the match came with 5 point end that crushed all spirit and sense of self worth from our teams competition. With the score sitting 10 - 0 again in favor of our hero's, all would seem perfect save the fact that the team was missing a female player. Ultimately the decision would lay with the opposition to decide if the home team would leave dejected in loss or triumphant in victory. The evening would be won with the tactful maneuverings of the teams interim skip, Matthew Beckett who, making use of skill, prowess, and a distracting necktie convinced the other team their sound beating was well deserved. Celebrating their victory in front of another sold out crowd, our home team would look to the next game on Feb. 1 at 5:30 to continue their winning streak. Yet in the back of their minds sat the fact that they had been abandoned yet again... and that the last hapless person to do so had been left a bloody mess searching for missing teeth on the ice...

Thought i'd dust off this old moniker for the hell of it.

Face, or anyone else, here's an article that you may find of interest: Galactic cannibalism
(It'll make sense once you read it.)

Sure, I posted it before, but I still think the story is ironic. Essentially, rather than using Kazaa, the entertainment industry used Kazaa Lite to track down copyright infringers. Oops, my bad.

Kazaa Owner Gets OK to Sue Movie, Record Companies


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A U.S. federal court has cleared the way for Kazaa file-sharing software
owner Sharman Networks to sue the entertainment industry for copyright infringement, Sharman said
on Friday.

Sharman, targeted by studios and record companies because its software is used to trade music and
video files, has sought to turn the tables on the industry, accusing it of misusing Kazaa software
to invade users' privacy and send corrupt files and threatening messages.

Studios and record companies had asked the court to throw out Sharman's countersuit, but U.S.
District Judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles declined to do so.

Sharman, headquartered on the island nation of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, said it would pursue
the case.



And, in case you were curious about the "most successful rover mission" to Mars, Spirit has sent back more diagnostic info since NASA lost contact a few days ago. So far, however, it isn't responding to commands. In the meantime, Opportunity, the "other" rover, is set to land in about six hours. Just two open-ended questions here:



• How quickly do you figure NASA scientists are going bald right now?


• How long before someone will be on Mars and able to give the rovers a swift kick across that rusty Martian landscape?

Should be doing homework but I'm posting here instead... Tee Hee!

INTERNATIONAL WEEK: with the exception of Thursday's i'll try to make it out to all of the ones Percy has posted.

MUSIC: Apparently france's favourite astrolounge outfit, AIR is coming out with a new record tuesday. Kellis, watch the stars.

So I guess the Spirit mars-rover is kaput as of the moment... it could either be software or hardware. If it's software, they can send it patches from earth... but if hardware is the problem then there's trouble. But either way, hopefully Spirit's twin mars-rover makes a safe landing tomorrow afternoon and doesn't have any techincal problems.

What if martians found Spirit and purposely broke it so that we couldn't spy on them? That would be fucked.

Dancephunk eh? Sweet I'll have to try it out my next days off.
