WE LOST JANI RITA?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Haha:Coincidently, Tarnstrom was a healthy scratch for the Penguins on Wednesday. Oilers management swears a trade isn't on the horizon.

And, from Covered in Oil:

Kevin Lowe is in Edmonton "working the phones," and according to Bob MacKenzie, who's usually spot-on, there could be a deal by tomorrow. Dick Tarnstrom, tonight a healthy scratch for the Pens, is the best bet. MacKenzie suggested Jani Rita, "who's also a healthy scratch," but MacKenzie doesn't realize that Rita is almost always a healthy scratch, more likely seen in the dressing room helping Joey Moss fold towels than in an actual game.

+/- is -10??

Forget poorly calculated proportions about prime-ministers who don't hug their children...

4 ex prime-ministers. 1 Reality TV show.

oops - that should be ally ANY Percy-like fears...ah well, you know what i mean.

Ok, so thank you to the people who e-mailed me their mailing addresses. If you haven't...please do! My e-mail is mkupchenko@gmail.com.

And to allay and Percy-like fears - it's not so I can send you anthrax or a mail bomb.

AWHELLZYEAAAH!!!

I might actually get to paint a board for the next skate-deck art-show at LAT53!!!!

Apparently all the other decks are finished, but I'm gonna try and sneak in last-minute stylez. It's how I do.

I'm fuckin STOKED about this.

Keri, fear not. The AP (and TSN) make worse mistakes:

Ales Horcoff had an empty-net goal and two assists.

Disgust for DDR ... being ... overwhelmed ... by ... desire to see healthy people...

W.Va. Schools Get Game to Fight Obesity:

West Virginia, which has one of the nation's worst obesity problems, is expanding a project that uses a video game to boost students' physical activity.

All of the state's 157 middle schools are expecting to get the video game "Dance Dance Revolution," and officials hope to put it in all 753 public schools within three years. A pilot project began in 20 schools last spring.

damnit, Stephen Lewis is talking at the Horowitz Theatre on Monday (jan 30) at noon.

anyone available at that time had better go. STEPHEN LEWIS is AMAZING. i don't even have words to describe how awesome he is. He is my hero. and I am so pissed that I can't go... mind you, maybe I'll skip work... it's only the big red triangle...


OR, I could drive to Camrose and see him there at 6:30pm at Augustana campus


but regardless, ALL OF YOU WHO ARE ON CAMPUS AND HAVE FREE TIME AT NOON ON MONDAY SHOULD GO SEE THIS MAN TALK. You won't regret it. This man is changing the world.

did anyone else listen to Clockwork Orange Juice this morning just before 8am? Mark and Kevin Moose had a lovely message for "poor Stephen Harper."

Yeah, I know, you're thinking what?? but here's the deal: Looking at the results from this election, and comparing them to the previous election, we can determine that while the conservatives have definitely won a position as the leaders of our minority government. BUT they have won a noticeably smaller minority government than the Liberals did just over a year ago. ... and that was with all the scandals already having been aired.

So now, apparently we're a little more fed up over the scandals, but not too much - just enough to cut the Liberal's lead, giving us a conservative minority with a larger proportion of left-leaning representation within the government in general than in the previous election. so... what have we learned? . . . Harper may have won, but the most prominent voice in the government still isn't blue.

Kevin Moose offered Harper his consolations, and played a song for him, just in case he was feeling bad about the bitter irony of his victory.
